Not true for about a million reasons. Here is one.
The United States benefits from the fact that it is the currency of choice in the black and grey markets. People in other countries, criminals, and illegal immigrants hold onto that cash helping the economy.
Or how about the fact that they pay taxes like social security which they will never be able to recoup? That is a grant to the United States.
As for output, given that their help drives so much of our industries from farming to construction to the restaurant business, I would love to know how this economic support they give the US is eclipsed by meager benefits they may receive from a government.
