Summary
Angus Taylors claim that migrants are a net drain on Australia is debunked by facts. Migrants, particularly skilled and educated ones, contribute more in taxes than they receive in services. The average migrant brings in a net positive of forty-one thousand dollars, while skilled migrants contribute nearly two hundred thousand dollars extra. In contrast, the average Australian citizen costs eighty-five thousand dollars more in services than taxes paid. Experts argue that Taylors stance is purely political, with no real welfare issue to address. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
