Economic Realities
We know the positive economic impacts that immigrants have on our communities.  Undocumented immigrants in particular are estimated to have contributed over $20 billion in federal taxes in 2018, along with almost $12 billion in state and local taxes.  Rather than undermining wages, recognizing the millions of undocumented workers across the country will mean native-born workers no longer have to compete with those who are frequently exploited because they lack legal status.
