Report says immigration bill cuts deficit

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Congressional Budget Office says a sweeping immigration bill before the Senate would cut deficits by $197 billion over 10 years.

The bill would add $262 billion in new spending and tax credits over 10 years, a sum more than covered by $459 billion in increased revenues, according to the report Tuesday by Congress' nonpartisan scorekeepers.

The bill would cut deficits by an additional $700 billion in the second 10 years after taking effect, CBO says.

Some 8 million people in the U.S. illegally would initially gain legal status under the legislation, according to the CBO analysis. That's compared with a population of about 11 million immigrants now in the country illegally.
