DAY 241: Steve Miller suppressed report showing refugees contribute more in taxes than they cost the US

According to The New York Times, Donald Trump's advisor Steve Miller suppressed a report by the Department of Health and Human Services showing that refugees actually contribute more to the US in taxes than what they cost to taxpayers.

The net difference between the cost of refugees to the US and what they contribute to the US in taxes is 63 billion dollars more in taxes than what the refugees receive from public funds.

But Steve Miller, according to the NYT, suppressed the fiscal benefit from the report and only allowed one figure to be shown: the cost of about $1,000 more than the average American in taxpayer dollars.

The judge did not rule on the legality or the constituionality of Trump's order, but she did say that if the immigrants were not released, then the lawyers for the immigrants can come back to her court and argue their case.
