It is important to note that immigrants without a documented immigration status still pay payroll and income taxes, even though they rarely become eligible for Social Security benefits. In 2022, people without a documented status paid an estimated $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes. And a 2013 report by the Social Security actuaries concluded that earnings from immigrants without a documented status have a net positive effect on the Social Security trust fund, finding that they contributed a net $12 billion into the Social Security trust fund in 2010.

Thank you.
Exactly.
Without them we are ****ed.
Not just with farming and industry but taking away all of that cheap labor will mean throwing the economics into all kinds of ****ed up chaos.
And if they are contributing by being productive members of society as you show then why not embrace them and instead help them all become citizens instead of kicking them out?
Because MAGA is racist and stupid and doesn't have common sense and decency to be humane.
