John,
Immigrants play a vital role in supporting the U.S. economy, even as the Trump administration and Congress push for a budget that includes unprecedented funding for mass detention and deportation.
New national and state-level data from the American Immigration Council shows just how much immigrants contribute to the economy, paying hundreds of billions in taxes, strengthening key industries, and keeping social programs like Social Security and Medicare afloat. Immigrant households have injected trillions into the housing market, filled critical labor shortages, and started businesses at high rates.
You can explore the data for your state, county, or metro area using our interactive Map the Impact tool.
These contributions would be lost—and all Americans will suffer—if the Trump administration is successful in pushing through its wasteful detention and mass deportation agenda.
Research like this will be vital during the Trump administration. Stand with us as we raise $100,000 during Trump’s first 100 days in office.
Sincerely,
Nan Wu
Research Director
