Undocumented immigrants contributed $22.6 billion dollars to Social Security and $5.7 billion to Medicare in 2022 AND THEY ARE NOT EVEN ELIGIBLE.

In other words they are paying for your healthcare.

Experts also warn about the potential economic consequences of mass deportations. The American Immigration Council, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, projects that removing workers without legal status from U.S. industries could reduce the country's GDP by 4.2% to 6.8%.

In 2022, undocumented immigrant households contributed $46.8 billion in federal taxes and $29.3 billion in state and local taxes, according to the nonprofit. Additionally, they contributed $22.6 billion to Social Security and $5.7 billion to Medicare during the same year."
