A new study shows that undocumented immigrants paid nearly $100 billion in federal, state and local tax revenue in 2022 while many are shut out of the programs their taxes fund. The findings run counter to anti-immigrant rhetoric that undocumented immigrants are “destroying” social programs.

In 40 states, undocumented immigrants paid higher tax rates than the top 1% of the income scale in those states, according to a study released Tuesday from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a left-leaning, nonprofit think tank.

The study, which uses estimates of undocumented immigrants’ tax contributions as of 2022, shows those totaled $96.7 billion that year. Study authors also found that undocumented immigrants would contribute $40.2 billion more per year in federal, state and local taxes if all of the undocumented population had access to work authorization. The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy reasoned that this boost would come from higher wages associated with employment authorization and easier compliance with income tax laws.

The report also shed further light on the tax revenue provided by undocumented immigrants on the state and local level. Undocumented immigrants are paying 46% of their state and local tax payments through sales and excise taxes. Six states — New Jersey, New York, California, Florida, Texas, and Illinois — were able to raise more than $1 billion each in tax revenue from undocumented immigrants, the nonprofit said.

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.

Illegal aliens should never have a pathway to citizenship

Nor should asylum seekers

 

[Blaster]

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

Bullshit

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

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

And the price of an existing home is going to go way down.

 

[Rawley]

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

REally? Why haven't new home prices plummeted with the 10+ million illegals Harris brought into the country?

 

[Rawley]

Because new home building would slow rapidly. If there are fewer, they become more valuable.

??? Again, prices for new house has skyrocketed since Harris brought in 10+ million illegals.

Because the illegal carpentaros have been building here for many decades. Not to mention concrenetos.

Illegal aliens should never have a pathway to citizenship

Nor should asylum seekers

I can see refugees that have a legitimate (and LEGAL) request for asylum becoming citizens.

MILLIONS have immigrated here for freedom, and have even fought and died to defend and protect their new homeland.

The Japanese immigrants that had family in FDR'S camps even proved to be HEROES in our fight against Hitler in Europe.

Daniel K. Inouye from Hawaii (a Democrat) comes to mind. He WAS a hero.


But if you break into my house (or country), you should be forcibly removed as an invader!!!

Harris has even stated that she would shoot an intruder.

I think we have OUR heads on straight, but I think what the Democrats are smoking must be AMAZING!!!

Many of the interned Japanese were already citizens

Conditions were very different 75 ot 150 years ago than today and the rules ought to change too

There are a minimum of 15 million that we know of and untold numbers hiding in the shadows

If you grant them citizenship the will be able to sponsor as many as 25 million more thanks to chain immigration rules

And 50 million more after that

You could wake up one morning and find yourself living in a foreign country

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.

Adding Up the Billions in Tax Dollars Paid by Undocumented Immigrants

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.

On the other hand…

The democrat plan to import a voter base at the expense of taxpayers who will pay for it results in the criminals, terrorists and dead Americans who pay the price.

 

[Jarlaxle]

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.

Yes. Whatever it takes, get the illegals OUT and seal the border. It will take what it takes, it will cost what it costs.

That's harsh, man.

Not really. My wife is still 100% in favor of having illegals simply rounded up en masse and shot.

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

Dogbreath just admitted that he is not in favor of our "CITIZEN" carpenters and plumbers making a good sustainable middle-class wage with benefits. He is pissing his pants with glee that illegals have destroyed the pay scale of American workers. He doesn't give a damn that these men and women have lost their jobs and will never get them back as long as CUMALLA is elected president. I want the border closed, permanently. I want all the illegals deported immediately. I want my country back again.

When you reply to me, you talk to me. Not the fucking peanut gallery.

Let me try that: Paleman doesn't have a clue, that he knows what he's talking about. Could it be the men and women who lost their jobs in the '70s? The plumbers union is still strong, but when the carpenters let the materials get away from them, they lost everything.

No, you don't.

Typical left-wing idiocy. According to you, it's the carpenter's fault the illegals undercut their wages, which cost them their jobs. Americans can't afford to work for low pay and no benefits. Do you have an ounce of comprehension left? Once, just one company started using slave labor the rest had to get on board to win a bid job to survive.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Illegals who steal jobs from Americans pay their taxes with ill gotten money. They shouldn’t be working here in the first place they shouldn’t even be here.

They take a fortune in public benefits and send billions out of the country.

 

[Jarlaxle]

No, you don't.

Hey, looks like we have a mind reader here! You're a regular Nostradumbass!

And they use services far above the amount of taxes they pay. Every illegal alien is a net loss every day.
