I suspect a lot of those immigrants that you speak of don't ever get any of that contribution back . Many go back, or die without making any claims. And if they ever become naturalized, they have to individually pay a non-refundable fee of close to $680.00 to the U.S. Government. So, if 780,000 get naturalized in a year, that's a gross profit of $530.4 Million for the U.S. Treasury. Administrative costs should be 5% of that at the most.
According to newamericanscampaign.org ==> "Who is naturalizing? Mexico is the top country of origin for our newly naturalized citizens. In 2013, India replaced the Philippines as the number two country of origin, but those three countries have been in the top three for the past three years.

More women than men became new citizens, and that is no different than the previous two years. In 2013, 55 percent of new Americans were women. Nearly two-thirds of new Americans were married."
