Never is your statistical sleight of hand so evident as with these socialist policies. Only a few conservative news sites even mention the tremendous societal deteriorations in these scandanavian countries with mandatory open borders. Soon these countries will reach the breaking point.
The Democratic platform already rejects all pro-life candidates. It now is pushing to espouse post birth abortion, open borders for all, free health care for illegals, free college for all, guaranteed living wage, income equality, green new deals, elimination of fossil fuels, private vehicles, cows, and planes.
But Im sure we can save some money here without making lame arguments.

College graduates less likely to be in poverty
https://www.thirdway.org/report/ripp...e-dropout-rate
This study shows that if we could raise the college graduation rate to be equal to that of the HS graduation rate it would result in an additional $90 billion in tax revenue. There would also be decreased poverty and unemployment, hence a lower burden on government programs.
also, this is one effective way to close the education gap. Although many countries have a more effective high school education, if the US has a higher rate of college graduates we can catch up. It is a marathon, not a sprint. We are 12th worldwide, and the four leading countries are all around 55%. High school graduation rate is 84%. 38% of kids drop out of college because of financial pressure. Simply removing that pressure can immediately vault us into the top tier of educated countries in the world. We can eliminate it without it costing us anything, it is a proven fact that college educations pay for themselves.

I thought the goal was to make America great again. Raising our college graduation rate to 55% of US citizens is one cost effective way to do that.
Also consider this -- if tuition in State schools is free to residents then 100% of the government money is spent in the US, virtually all of it for jobs and 40% of that money will come back to the US as tax revenue the first year (income tax, etc). The other 60% will go into the community (grocery stores, mortgages, cars, etc), and those recipients will also be paying tax. So another 20% returns to the government as tax revenue in the very first year. The government can pay for tuition and get 60% back the very first year.
