America will become one of the countries where tax payments are largely optional for the very rich, and avoided by poorer migrants. Pushing migrants into the informal economy is estimated to cost $313 billion
Beyond the human costs and fear, the financial costs to the United States are great. Undocumented migrants pay an estimated $66 billion in taxes, with $43 billion of that supporting Medicaid and Social Security, programs they benefit little from. If immigrants become half as likely to file, the Budget Lab at Yale suggests the losses would amount to $313 billion over a decade.
