Taxes / The Economy

The overall economic impact of Illegal Immigrants to the United States is a contested issue. In terms of government spending The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reviewed 29 reports published over 15 years to evaluate the impact of unauthorized immigrants on the budgets of state and local governments. Their conclusion was that the tax revenues that unauthorized immigrants generate for state and local governments do not offset the total cost of services provided to those immigrants.[1]
