Undocumented immigrants actually pay like a dozen billion dollars into the system with taxes they pay. They also use government services less than normal citizens, since the undocumented person often wants to stay off government radar and avoid deportation.
Uh huh. I read decades ago that more than eighty hospitals in southern CA had to close because they were giving so many free services to illegals. What taxes are they paying? Property taxes on the homes they own? Income taxes on their under the table jobs?
I lived in So Cal in 1990 when they let in a million of them, and it transformed the place. It become loaded with piles of trash and spray painted walls, where there were none before.
If they rent, the money they pay the landlord goes to property taxes. They pay sales taxes on anything they buy. The IRS doesn't require a social security number to file taxes, which is a way some do. There are jobs that even if you have a fake social security number to get the job, the workplace will still send money to the IRS, taking out normal payroll taxes, but the undocumented immigrant wouldn't be able to ever claim the benefits with the fake SSN cuz that gets much more verification done at that point.
There's a total of about $11 billion a year in federal taxes that undocumented people pay, and hundreds of millions in local taxes every year.
There's about $11 billion a year in federal taxes from undocumented people, and over $500 million in local taxes.
Healthcare is a for profit industry. In the end, it does affect healthcare prices, but mostly because we're beholden to a cartel of health insurance that's main motive is profit rather than helping people have proper healthcare. But that's another issue.
There are very, very few immigrants who have access to government healthcare, and if they do, it's for a set allotment of time. And those is often for refugees, not people illegally crossing the boarder. The number of refuses is very small in the end.
Also, undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native born people here in the US. Perhaps that's a bit more cost due to more bodies in general, but they still commit crime at less of a rate.
Contrary to public perception, we observe considerably lower felony arrest rates among undocumented immigrants compared to legal immigrants and native-born US citizens and find no evidence that undocumented criminality has increased in recent years.
