re: Refugees pay more in taxes than receive in welfare

Because of the source or because you have data to refute it?

Because of math.
The average Middle Eastern refugee costs ~$65,000 to settle here in the first five years. Assuming they incur 0 further benefits in the next fifteen years, they will need to pay an average of $3000/yr in taxes per person (not per household) in those twenty years. For a family of four, that would require an income of roughly $50000 (charitably assuming a 25% effective tax rate) in each of the 20 years. If they make $20,000 the first two years, they're going to need to make $80000 the last two and et cetera.
Made a couple of math errors in the first time through. This is edited.
In short, bullshite.
