Some here are making huge assumptions, based on people being equal. They're not and never will be.
A dirt farmer in the Midwest contributes less than Bill Gates. A migrant Brain surgeon contributes more than a hospital porter.
Unemployed for whatever reason, children, disabled contribute nothing. US population is 322.7 million. In February 2015, about 119.3 million people were employed on a full-time basis. Discounting a small number who earn so much part time they need not work full time. This is 200 million not working or contributing. 200 million living off the income of the 120 million.
Now deduct those on minimum wage and those with large families. Now deduct those who are doing a job an American could do. Even prisoners could do work like picking fruit and veg.
There's a very good reason the UK is implementing a law that says if a migrant doesn't earn $56,000 a year they have to return home. There are safeguards for certain skills.
A simple way to see if all migrants contribute, is go to where they live and see how well they're doing.
Tackle this problem, the next one will be Natives who don't contribute and reducing the populations to fit 21st Century demands.
