New study shows workers "often pay taxes that are dedicated to funding programs from which they are barred from participating because of their immigration status."
Not only do immigrants pay more taxes, but they contribute more to the overall economy. Adding the value of one’s labor to the whole is a positive.
Meanwhile, extracting the value of others’ labor and using your ill-gotten wealth to fund systemic corruption diminishes and destabilizes the system as a whole.
This article claims they pay a higher effective tax rate, not more in taxes. A citizen working the same position would pay even more in taxes since they would also have to pay income tax.
Maybe the headline should be that sales + other flat taxes are becoming an increasing burden for low income workers. This is the problem for the illegal immigrants in the study, and even more of a problem for citizens who earn the same amount.
