White supremacists are costing America BILLIONS in tax revenue EVERY YEAR.

Those Haitians, Syrians, and other immigrants that white supremacist Stephen Miller, Trump, the GOP-packed Supreme Court, and Republicans are deporting by the hundreds of thousands?

THEY PAY *BILLIONS* in taxes every year. Into the US Treasury, and INTO SOCIAL SECURITY and Medicare.

- Federal Treasury: Immigrants (including undocumented) paid roughly **$383 billion** in federal taxes in 2022, covering income, payroll, sales, and property taxes.

- Social Security: In the same year, undocumented workers alone contributed about **$25.7 billion** in Social Security payroll taxes. 

- Medicare: Those payroll taxes also fund Medicare; the share going to Medicare is roughly one‑third of total Social‑Security payroll taxes, giving an estimated **$8–9 billion** per year (derived from the $25.7 billion Social‑Security figure)
