STEPANAKERT, SEPTEMBER 20, ARTSAKHPRESS: It was noted that officials rejected a draft report produced by the Department of Health and Human Services.

That study said refugees brought in $63 billion more in government revenue over the past decade than they cost agencies. 

The draft report found that from 2005 to 2014, refugees "contributed an estimated 269.1 billion in revenues to all levels of government" through federal, state and local taxes.

Raj Shah, a White House spokesman, said the leak draft report was "delivered by someone with an ideological agenda, not someone looking at hard data."
