Undocumented immigrants paid $97B in taxes in 2022.

T-Mobile, Office Depot, and Duke Energy made billions in profits but paid nothing in federal income taxes between 2018 and 2022.

Remember this the next time the undocumented are called "freeloaders."

@rbreich Prof Reich, please include sources with assertions like this. Not because I have any doubt that you are telling the truth, of course you are. But if I share that with someone who isn't progressive they are going to ask.

Robert cited the exact years, I checked and you can confirm these claims with the first results when searching the internet!

@Lennartt Here's the link. My request to Prof. Reich and others to include links, ideally to the primary source, in the future, especially as Google is becoming increasingly unreliable and thinks like this might get difficult to find.

Tax Payments by Undocumented Immigrants

Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022. 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.
