Refugees who arrived in Europe last year could repay spending on them almost twice over within just five years, according to one of the first in-depth investigations into the impact incomers have on host communities.
Refugees will create more jobs, increase demand for services and products, and fill gaps in European workforces – while their wages will help fund dwindling pensions pots and public finances, says Philippe Legrain, a former economic adviser to the president of the European commission.
Simultaneously refugees are unlikely to decrease wages or raise unemployment for native workers, Legrain says, citing past studies by labour economists.
Most significantly, Legrain calculates that while the absorption of so many refugees will increase public debt by almost €69bn (£54bn) between 2015 and 2020, during the same period refugees will help GDP grow by €126.6bn – a ratio of almost two to one.

WE have allowed a free-for-all as well. Trump is popular because “makers” (and former makers idled by the flood of cheap labor) know that immigration of any sort has been disastrous for Americans at all levels (and at this point is leading to their extinction).
What too many people fail to realize is that the whole “poverty industry” is just as intent on importing non-workers as industry itself is intent on importing cheap labor. The forces trafficking these people into the US couldn’t care less if they work a single day; the proponents represent the teachers who would be idled as the American birthrate plummets, the landlords who would oversee vacant buildings, the businesses that would deal with empty store aisles. Those same proponents are diametrically opposed to the American taxpayers (individual and corporate) who are footing the bill for all of those expenses (the public education system, the government assistance with rent and food stamps, etc.).
Trump is drawing support from the “makers”; his opponents represent the swelling pool of “takers”.
Excellent points.
I don't understand the Leftist compulsion to welcome their conquerors with open arms.
Ellis Island will be busy once again...
Thanks; FRegards!
They will increase hiring of first responders and construction workers when they continue to blow stuff up.
If it worked like that, Detroit would be a thriving metropolis.
If you believe that, I have on offer at par value shares in a stock company engaged in the construction of a suspension bridge connecting the cities of Brooklyn and New York. This is a fantastic opportunity!
“Trump is drawing support from the “makers”; his opponents represent the swelling pool of “takers”.”
And, I might add, those who have lost their position as ‘makers’ but who don’t want to live as government-dependent ‘takers’.
That’s right; see the second sentence in my post. People with the WASP work ethic don’t want to end up in a welfare hive on the dole...
The more you spend the more you make. Everyone knows that.
Mrs. Pelosi is that you? All progressives are bad at math, see tagline.
Sounds like Pelosi trying to tell us all the unemployment benefits were putting 1-1/2 dollars into the economy for every dollar that was doled out.....
yeah, right... 
All the while, the general public is being stabbed and raped in the streets. And heads are cut off.
Yes. Right. Keep pulling in those rapefugees!
Overwhelm and impoverish the native population.
Anybody out there believe this sh#t?
Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Good deal!
