Migrants will cost Massachusetts taxpayers $1.8 trillion over the next two years The Center for Immigration Studies' Jessica Vaughan calls it a 'fiscal time bomb' READ MORE: Poll shows how voters want lockups and deportations of migrants By James Reinl, Social Affairs Correspondent, For Dailymail.Com It's one of the wealthiest states in America, with residents of its fanciest zip code luxuriating in $3 million red-brick apartments. But the writing is on the wall for Massachusetts, says an alarming new study. The 50,000 non-legal migrants who've entered the state since Joe Biden became president are putting a costly strain on schools, healthcare, and other services. Jessica Vaughan, author of the report for the Center for Immigration Studies, says the state is destined for bankruptcy. That's because migrants will drain state coffers of a staggering $1.8 trillion over the next two years. TRENDING Even though some non-legal migrants will work and pay taxes, this revenue will not come close to the cost of social services for all 355,000 of them, says Vaughan. 'These migrants represent a looming fiscal disaster for taxpayers in Massachusetts,' Vaughan told the Mail. 'Even if they are working, they are not equipped with skills and education to avoid being a drain on public coffers.' Her report comes amid a testy 2024 presidential race, with Republican nominee Donald Trump using immigration as a weapon against his rival, the Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. Republicans dub Harris a failed 'border czar,' as she was tasked with tackling the root causes of migration from Central America, even as illegal border crossings smashed records.
