The push toward open borders has to be one of the most destructive political trends of my lifetime.

You don't need to read their report to know, you only need to think a little bit. Welfare states (USA included) are very close to net neutral. Net contribution of a person over lifetime is approximately normally distributed. Hence, below average people are net negatives.
I agree that immigration is a positive economically but it creates political and social divisiveness and instability.
(left) Life time net contribution over life. Non-western is the red curve, it's always negative, so the sum is _very_ negative. Non-western immigrants are about 67% of immigrants here. (right) Sums over life, light blue = age-adj. Bar 2 & 4 are 2nd gen. https://www.fm.dk/oekonomi-og-tal/oekonomisk-analyse/2019/indvandreres-nettobidrag-til-off-finanser-i-2016 …pic.twitter.com/SyhHhHK0Bd

Distributrions of net contributions limited to working ages. ~70% Danes are net benefit, but non-western 1st gen ~40%, and ~50% 2nd gen non-western. WORKING AGE PEOPLE (best case scenario).pic.twitter.com/JFklvKMOPD

By country of origin. These are not age-adjusted unfortunately, so they reflect current age distribution and distribution of 1/2 gens. Notice a pattern? Light blue = Western, dark blue = nonwestern. India, China, Ukraine are net positive, Bulgaria negative, but otherwise perfectpic.twitter.com/PCbOtVT0zq

Summary: - Most immigrants net negative - Most countries of origin net negative on average - Western 2nd gens are about net zero - Nonwestern 1st and later gen are net negative, both now in reality and in future (i.e. life time estiimates) - Immigration overall massive net loss
