personal attacks when you've lost the argument, what a surprise..
More gibberish
You are doing what you always do. Just pointing at a long report and saying it is in there somewhere.
Such a prat.
do feel free to show how the reference in ref 5 provides evidence of
"In total, the tax contribution of undocumented immigrants amounted to 26.1 percent of their incomes in 2022. This figure is close to the 26.4 percent rate facing the median income group of the overall U.S. population ref [5]"
it doesn't.
I have no idea
It is utterly unrelated to the query I raised about your previous statement.
Essentially, you have now moved on to another of your favourite tricks i.e. asking a totally different question when you have been caught out.

Scrutinise your sources or don't get upset when others do.
Standard.
Waffle, deflection and gibberish.
The usual MBK playbook.
He asked to show how illegal migrants could pay taxes and be useful cotributors.
Done and dusted.
Any of the other stuff is vintage MBK waffle and deflection. Quite pathetic really.
Just in case anyone missed it...
- Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022. Most of that amount, $59.4 billion, was paid to the federal government while the remaining $37.3 billion was paid to state and local governments.
- Undocumented immigrants paid federal, state, and local taxes of $8,889 per person in 2022. In other words, for every 1 million undocumented immigrants who reside in the country, public services receive $8.9 billion in additional tax revenue.
- More than a third of the tax dollars paid by undocumented immigrants go toward payroll taxes dedicated to funding programs that these workers are barred from accessing. Undocumented immigrants paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes, $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes, and $1.8 billion in unemployment insurance taxes in 2022.
- At the state and local levels, slightly less than half (46 percent, or $15.1 billion) of the tax payments made by undocumented immigrants are through sales and excise taxes levied on their purchases. Most other payments are made through property taxes, such as those levied on homeowners and renters (31 percent, or $10.4 billion), or through personal and business income taxes (21 percent, or $7.0 billion).
- Six states raised more than $1 billion each in tax revenue from undocumented immigrants living within their borders. Those states are California ($8.5 billion), Texas ($4.9 billion), New York ($3.1 billion), Florida ($1.8 billion), Illinois ($1.5 billion), and New Jersey ($1.3 billion).
- In a large majority of states (40), undocumented immigrants pay higher state and local tax rates than the top 1 percent of households living within their borders.
- Income tax payments by undocumented immigrants are affected by laws that require them to pay more than otherwise similarly situated U.S. citizens. Undocumented immigrants are often barred from receiving meaningful tax credits and sometimes do not claim refunds they are owed due to lack of awareness, concern about their immigration status, or insufficient access to tax preparation assistance.
- Providing access to work authorization for undocumented immigrants would increase their tax contributions both because their wages would rise and because their rates of tax compliance would increase. Under a scenario where work authorization is provided to all current undocumented immigrants, their tax contributions would rise by $40.2 billion per year to $136.9 billion. Most of the new revenue raised in this scenario ($33.1 billion) would flow to the federal government while the remainder ($7.1 billion) would flow to states and localities
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.
Double blow for MBK and his relentless dishonest waffle.
Quietly, none of the migrant dependant states want Trump to succeed. No wonder ICE are flooding places like Minnesota, eh.

Interestingly, two massive government agencies, the IRS and the Social Security Board, work on the basis that 6 million (about half) of illegal immigrants pay income taxes.
Illegal migrants are largely safe in Texas and Florida.
It's almost as if it's more about politics!
Partisan politics, yes. It certainly fooled some of the RWR on here. Some mistakenly believed that the undocumented population in the US, didn't pay any income taxes or contribute to the society in which they live.

Nosenout and Eminem hoped nobody would follow the links and read the references.

Glad I could educate you.
It is also because some of them simply don't understand that illegal immigration has a much longer history and is much more accepted in the US than it is here. Most people over there accept the grand bargain. Illegal immigrants will come to the USA, work hard, obey the law, do the jobs that Americans won't, and generally keep their heads down. In return they have a much better life than in their home countries, and any children born in the USA will automatically become US citizens. Most illegal immigrants pay tax and contribute to social security. Even government agencies accept that is the case, as noted above in the official Congressional report.
