Undocumented immigrants in the US pay about 26% of their income in taxes, totaling $96.7 billion in 2022, with $26 billion to Social Security and $6 billion to Medicare, despite being mainly barred from using these programs.
Legalizing work for all undocumented immigrants could potentially increase their tax contributions by $40 billion, as shown by improved tax compliance and wages for those with work authorization.
