Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes, study says

The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy reports that undocumented immigrants paid billions in 2022 for services they are often barred from accessing.

Anti-immigrant sentiment is on the rise: This year, more than half (55%) of Americans said they’d like to see immigration decline, a first since 2001. In June, President Joe Biden restricted the number of asylum seekers entering the country, and Republicans are promising the “largest mass deportation program in American history” if they win the White House this fall.
