> In Germany extra-EU immigrants are on average net contributors to welfare state too.

All the data I find shows them contributing less than natives, and even MORE less if corrected for age. https://www.econstor.eu/handle/10419/232517

But this paper is not about extra EU migrants but all migrants. And even then if we control for age they say they are contributing less than natives.

I think it would be very odd that less educated people on average contribute more than natives, especially if they are at risk of being discriminated when looking for a job.
