Overview

• On June 24 the UDR formally invoked its once-per-session drawing right in the National Assembly to propose the inquiry commission.
• The resolution requests an investigation of direct expenses on immigrant housing, healthcare, education and social aid.
• Lawmakers will analyze indirect costs such as legal disputes over residency, aid in deportation proceedings and strain on public infrastructure.
• The inquiry will examine the financing of associations that support both regular and irregular foreign nationals.
• UDR leaders argue partial data show a fiscal burden from immigration, a claim that some experts have questioned.
