It's nonsense to count non-resident, non-citizen tax payers as illegal immigrants.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You keep repeating that point. But nobody is actually doing that in these estimates. That is something you have either misunderstood or invented.
 
:LOL: estimates and almost 20 years old

The government has to estimate these figures. Just like GDP and inflation are estimates. An estimate is not the same as a guess. These are the figures that the US government works from. If you think they are wrong, write and tell them!

from your link:

Revenues Versus Spending

The available estimates of the budgetary impact of unauthorized immigrants vary greatly in their timing and scope. Most of the studies that include both revenues and costs for multiple programs show that state and local governments spend more on unauthorized immigrants than they collect in revenues from that population.

Probably explains why ICE exist :LOL:
 
Do you think the figure might be higher?

A lot of people do. The estimates are all based on 50% of illegal immigrants paying tax. But other research shows that it is more like 75%.
 
Yes but there is no avoiding this...

Our work here is done. Let him stew.
estimates (y)

I particularly like this bit in the links provided:

Most of the studies that include both revenues and costs for multiple programs show that state and local governments spend more on unauthorized immigrants than they collect in revenues from that population.
 
can you imagine saying this:
The other interesting thing with undocumented immigrants is that whilst they are useful contributors to the US coffers and carry out important work, they are also less of a burden financially because they are unable to claim any of the benefits of regular US citizens. they pay in but don't take out.
and this:
I think he realises now, illegal immigrants can and do pay income tax. Billions of dollars worth.

Our work here is done. Let him stew.

only to find out :

Most of the studies that include both revenues and costs for multiple programs show that state and local governments spend more on unauthorized immigrants than they collect in revenues from that population.
 
I'm sure they have all dutifully filed their W-7s and provided the necessary evidence. :LOL:
