The immigrants represent 9% of the population, but they only absorb 5.4% of the total of public cost and 4.6% of total the sanitary cost. That is to say, half of the average that corresponds to a Spanish citizen. They less than consume 5% of the cost in health and 6.6% in education, and its contribution of 5,000 million net Euros almost supposes a 7% of the total income for the economy, says to a report of the Spanish Government on the impact of immigration in the services public. In Spain lives about 2.5 million foreigners with papers, more than half of them affiliates to the Social Security. They contribute more of 7% of the quotes and they only receive 0.5% of the cost in pensions. With their contribution in taxes 900 thousand pensions are pleased.
These numbers do not consider to the indirect taxes that the immigrants pay who buy products, contract services and they are inserted in the economic weave and social, they have or they do not have papers. Immigration leaves a positive balance not only in the case of the economy Spanish in a State of well-being, but also in countries that, as the case of the United States, offer a low level of protection. The National Academy of Sciences of the North American country concluded that an immigrant receives about 3,000 dollars of the Government in all their life. Each of its children will make a contribution of 80,000 dollars throughout its life. These data still do not produce the necessary political debate on immigration in a Europe that avoids some fundamental rights of the Universal declaration of Human rights of the UN. The Socialist Party of Spain has supported the new directive of immigration that allows to retain until a year and a half to without papers and to deport them, although even is to a country different from the one from origin.
