Do Undocumented immigrants pay taxes?

3/27/2023

Did you know that undocumented immigrants make significant contributions to the U.S. tax system by paying sales, income, and property taxes? In 2021 alone, they contributed more than $81 billion in total taxes to the U.S. tax system. This is more than the GDP of Alaska, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, and Rhode Island. And although they contribute significantly they don’t get to enjoy many of the benefits that U.S. citizens and residents do, like social security for instance. This is especially notable since the social security fund is projected to be depleted by 2034. Meaning if all undocumented immigrants were deported today, that projected  would come much sooner, leaving many retirees in more uncertain times.

¿Sabía que los inmigrantes indocumentados hacen contribuciones significativas al sistema fiscal de los EE. UU. al pagar impuestos sobre las ventas, los ingresos y la propiedad? Solo en 2021, contribuyeron con más de $81 mil millones en impuestos totales al sistema fiscal de EE. UU. Esto es más que el PIB de Alaska, Wyoming, Dakota del Norte, Dakota del Sur, Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine y Rhode Island. Y aunque contribuyen significativamente, no disfrutan de muchos de los beneficios que tienen los ciudadanos y residentes de los EE. UU., como la seguridad social, por ejemplo. Esto es especialmente notable ya que se proyecta que el fondo de seguridad social se agote para 2034. Lo que significa que si todos los inmigrantes indocumentados fueran deportados hoy, eso se proyecta mucho antes, dejando a muchos jubilados en tiempos más inciertos.
