The Numbers are Out, and they don’t Lie!
Numbers do add up, and they are hard to misinterpret. This is a key fact that makes this new report ofThe New American Economy on immigrants the more fascinating.
The researchers of the New American Economy detail what exactly is the contribution of immigrants to the United States economy in 2017.
They found that while immigrant taxpayers made about “1.5 trillion” in 2017, they paid about “405” billion in tax. The Dreamers made a little over “$23.4 billion” and returned about $4 billion in taxes.
And surprisingly, the undocumented immigrants; the people branded by the Trump administration as criminals, reportedly have a huge amount of buying power in the US economy which is in the range of “$200 billion”.
Undocumented immigrants aren’t even qualified to get tax returns, yet they paid roughly $30 billion to both federal, state and local IRS pockets in 2017.
