CBO Estimates Costs and Effects of Immigration Reform Bill
Enforcement of S. 2611 would also result in an economic burden to state, local and tribal governments estimated by CBO at from $30 million to $85 million in the first year the law was in effect. Costs to the private sector, for chores like employee eligibility verification, would run about $128 million in at least one of the first five years the law was in effect.
Noting that S. 2611 would permit additional immigrants to enter the U.S. and allow some current illegal aliens to gain legal status, CBO estimates the bill would increase the nation’s population by nearly 8 million residents by 2016.
