I don’t think I’ve ever shared something from the Cato Institute, but there’s a first time for everything.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Rough drive, especially for Jobe.
Rams answer right back with a quick drive, capped by a 2-yard Davante Adams TD catch. Seahawks 24, Rams 20 with 9:41 left in the third.

Strongly disliked that drive. Hopefully the defense did, too, and next time they’ll come out fired up.
Stafford to a wide-open Kyren Williams for a 9-yard touchdown. Nobody covered Williams coming out of the backfield.
Rams 13, Seahawks 10 with 1:55 left in the half.
