From Grok:
Yes, unauthorized immigrants likely provide a net economic surplus to the U.S., based on available data:
- Fiscal Surplus: $310–330 billion annually (Pew’s 14 million) or ~$400 billion (FAIR’s 18.6 million), as taxes ($500–600 billion) exceed costs (~$170–200 billion).
- GDP Boost: ~$300–400 billion (1.1% of GDP), driven by labor and consumption, with critical roles in agriculture/construction.
- Qualifications:
- Local costs (~$150 billion) strain states like CA/TX, creating regional disparities.
- Wage suppression (~1–3% for low-skill workers) impacts specific groups, though overall labor market effects are positive.
- Higher population estimates (e.g., 18.6 million) increase both contributions and costs but maintain the surplus.
- Unquantified social costs (e.g., crime, cohesion, per FAIR) are debated and could reduce the net benefit, but no consensus exists on their scale.
- 2025 Context: Declining population (~13–14 million) reduces both taxes and costs, but the surplus likely persists due to high workforce participation (4.8%).

The point is that Grok is broken, biased and using propaganda for validated sources. The impact of drugs, crime, prostitution, slavery and murder are ignored. The cost of housing, education and moral decay are ignored. The articles detailing how American workers are lining up for jobs that are now available due to the removal of illegal aliens are ignored.
I pointed out that Grok did not account for specific items such as the underground economy or the inflationary aspects of illegal aliens on the cost of healthcare, police, housing and education. While it brought the “surplus” down, Grok still maintains that illegal aliens provide a net bonus to the United States.
Revised Grok estimate:
Fiscal Surplus: $221–288 billion (Pew, 14 million)
The new estimate was based on 14 million illegal aliens (another bias). It would not have taken too much longer to point our other economic impacts to drive the “benefit” lower.
The WEF agenda has been successful in removing the middle class and destroying Western civilization. I will give credit to Elon Musk regarding his purchase of Twitter but like our government, the rot is too deep.
This rot is not limited to Grok as all AI models are manipulated for specific agendas. See “apple” videos with ChatGPT. Use AI wisely, discern the truth and recognize that we are at war in this country for our very souls.
