All this low-skilled immigration to the US is, at best, fiscally neutral. According to the latest paper by 2 very pro-migration economists, the fiscal benefit of 1 low-skilled immigrant to the US is only $750 per year. And this is despite the fact that they go through some dubious assumptions in their paper to reach this “positive” conclusion.

If the US lets in 5 million low-skilled immigrants, the benefit would be $3.75 billion per year. However, the US government collects roughly $5 trillion in revenue per year, so the actual benefit of those 5 million immigrants is 0.1% of yearly revenue, a miniscule amount.
