Marco Guzman : Undocumented immigrants contribute to U.S. economy through their tax dollars.

He says the undocumented population in 2022 paid almost $97 billion in taxes, with over $54 billion in payments to the federal government and more than $37 billion paid out to states and localities.

Deporting undocumented immigrants en masse would be costly and bring hardship to families and communities, Guzman says.
