Please post the CBO stats if one of you can find it.
Found CNN and WaPo stats :
In addition, as undocumented workers covered by the announced actions enter the mainstream economy as legally authorized workers, they will be able to work in jobs that better fit their particular level of skills, rather than becoming concentrated in occupations or industries where the likelihood of detection and deportation is lowest.
The higher productivity from these two sources, combined with increased labor force participation and a modest increase in the population of high-skilled immigrants, is why an analysis by the President's Council of Economic Advisers found that the announced administrative actions on immigration would grow the American economy as a whole, raising the level of GDP by at least 0.4% -- equivalent to an additional $90 billion of output in 2024.
Much of the benefit of all this will accrue to U.S.-born workers.
Our analysis shows that the administrative actions will do nothing to diminish the quantity of jobs for U.S.-born workers but will improve the quality of these jobs, raising average wages by 0.3% after a decade. These findings are based on both studies of historical experience and the fact that the additional economic activity associated with any new worker will help create demand that supports a commensurate number of additional jobs.

"As an economist, my knee-jerk response was to counterattack based on the economic falsehoods that the administration continues to push: e.g., the evidence-free claims that DACA recipients take jobs from native-born workers. I’ve talked about immigrants’ contribution to labor supply, a particularly important dimension of the economic argument, as our aging workforce is responsible for 70 percent of the predicted slowdown in potential economic growth, according to the Congressional Budget Office. I’ve cited statistics about how DACA “dreamers” appear to contribute more than they receive in benefits from the tax and Social Security systems, and how they pay a higher effective state/local tax rate than households in the top 1 percent.
The costs of providing public education, for example, are clear, but the benefits are diffuse and show up in myriad ways that advanced societies have long agreed are worth it. "
