Deportation vs a path to citizenship.

Adding Up the Billions in Tax Dollars Paid by Undocumented Immigrants​

Often lost in political and policy debates about undocumented immigration is a simple yet crucial fact: undocumented immigrants pay taxes. Like everyone else in the United States, they pay sales taxes. They also pay property taxes—even if they rent. As a report from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) points out, “the best evidence suggests that at least 50 percent of undocumented immigrant households currently file income tax returns using Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs), and many who do not file income tax returns still have taxes deducted from their paychecks.” The end result is that undocumented immigrants are paying billions of dollars each year in taxes. Moreover, as several studies have found, undocumented immigrants would earn much more, and therefore pay much more in taxes, if they had some sort of legal status, be it permanent or temporary. Not surprisingly, permanent status yields more tax revenue than temporary status.

Legalization vs. Executive Action​

There are two scenarios that would markedly increase the tax contributions of undocumented immigrants:

1. The granting of lawful permanent resident (LPR) status to all 11 million undocumented immigrants—in other words, legalization. This would generate the largest increase in tax revenue.

Undocumented immigrants are paying billions of dollars each year in taxes. In spite of their undocumented status, these immigrants—and their family members—are adding value to the U.S. economy, not only as taxpayers, but as workers, consumers, and entrepreneurs as well.

The problem with a rigorous path to citizenship being.......it doesn't satisfy the need trumples have to expel the "vermin." You know, the rapists, the drug smugglers, the people who are poisoning the purity of American blood. Like the Jews did in Nazi Germany.

If all of the immigrants are deported, the price of a new home is going to go way up.

Between trump's plans for massive tariffs and deportation, inflation will reverse course after almost getting to the Fed's target of 2%.

What I wonder is whether trumples think inflation will be worth it to get rid of those "nasty" brown people.

Apply for a work visa at US EMBASSY in your country.

That is how immigration works. Not sneaking across the border.

That is a CRIME.

With millions of undocumented immigrants living in the United States, a majority in every swing state and nationally prefer offering them a path to citizenship — provided they meet several requirements — over mass deportation.

Survey: Majorities favor path to citizenship over mass deportation

Most Americans favor deterring strengthening the border, mandating E-Verify use and increasing work visas

SO LESSEE:

1. We give them $100 in welfare.
2. They send $50 of it home to their families.
3. Then they pay 6-7% taxes on that $50 they got for free when they spend that money on services.
4. So they get free services paid by us.
5. Then the tax money we collect is but a few percent of our own money paid back to us.
6. You consider that a good deal.
7. Plus you quote a council whose job it is to PROMOTE immigration as the proof of your claim.

Why would all immigrants be deported? Many immigrants go through the proper process of being legally in the United States and becoming naturalized citizens. This is in contrast to the millions of illegal immigrants that continue to pour over the border while hiding behind the facade of 'temporary protective status' as they wait years (almost a decade) to be heard in court -- thanks to the Harris plan that will continue if she were to win.

Why would housing prices go up?

Deport them all. Every last one.

We live in the same place. Drive by some construction sites.

Describe the Harris-Biden administration methods of ensuring that every illegal alien they granted legal status to met each of those "several requirements."

After WW-II there were thousands upon thousands of modular homes made/sold in the USA.

They were very cost effective to make and set-up.....The unions killed them through regulation/building codes as they did not need union labor.

It can be done again if the political will is really there.....Problem solved.

These were put-up in England for bombed-out families.....Many still stand.

‘Fond memories of the post-World War II prefabricated house’

"They were temporary houses erected for families made homeless through the bombing raids of World War II."

It's not all about the 'Benjamins'. A single worker may be an asset, but his family and extended family is a liability.

Deport them all. Every last one.

Give work permits to those whose skills are needed. Out with the rest.

The savings in school costs alone make deportations worthwhile. Add in the housing that would again be on the open market. Mass deportations are a good deal no matter how you slice it.

If any have necessary skills, they didn't slither across the border.

Wow .. a left-leaning site indicates a majority prefer a path to citizenship over mass deportation. What a shocker. Interesting the site didn't post their methodology and sample size for their polling.

If this is the case .. why is illegal immigration a top concern with American voters?

 

[Anathema]

No. If they came here illegally they have to leave… permanently. The fruit of a postures cannot be good.

As for all the jobs that will be empty…. Cut the social safety net. That should provide plenty of cheap labor when the policy becomes.. Work or Starve.

Donald Trump will not and cannot deport all of the illegals. That is logistically impossible. He will do the right thing and deport the gangs and the criminals first. That will take years. There are tens of thousands of them thanks to the Biden/Harris open border policy.

 

[Woodznutz]

If any have necessary skills, they didn't slither across the border.

My point. Contractors complain that they need those workers. All they need do is petition the INS to give work permits to those applicants that have those skills. There are also agencies that promote work in foreign countries, although most are skilled jobs. Unskilled jobs are done by indigenous workers.

That's harsh, man.
