Undocumented immigrants and taxes

From the Immigration Policy Center, here's a table regarding state and local taxes paid by households headed by undocumented immigrants in 2010, which totaled an estimated $11.2 billion. It's from last year, but I hadn't seen it before. There is a very, very common belief--often rooted simply in misunderstanding rather than any antipathy--that undocumented immigrants pay almost nothing in taxes.




For a snapshot, here is another figure from the report. North Carolina is tenth in revenues.

Please all Wall Streeters and Investors kneel on the floor of New York Stocks Exchange and thank God for for President Obama :


I have said so ! - Ditto Ditto Ditto - He Dicho !! -- Roma Locuta Est, Cause Finita -


All words are superfluous when President Obama has saved America and the World of a Big Depression and now the bulls are running like mad, like in the San Fermin Fiesta of Pamplona Spain.

This is a very interesting situation, but not surprising to say the least.
