Did you write "not having contributed a thing to our country"?

The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy studied tax payments made by undocumented workers and found that in 2022 they paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes. 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.


True, but you're short changing them. Undocumented workers are producers and consumers in our economy. Many of them take jobs that few citizens will do. Some of them serve in the armed forces. Some of them support families with spouses and children who are citizens. Their tax payments are just the tip of the iceberg of their contributions.
