   >* Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and   
   >local taxes in 2022. Most of that amount, $59.4 billion, was paid to the   
   >federal government while the remaining $37.3 billion was paid to state   
   >and local governments.   
   >   
   >* Undocumented immigrants paid federal, state, and local taxes of $8,889   
   >per person in 2022. In other words, for every 1 million undocumented   
   >immigrants who reside in the country, public services receive $8.9   
   >billion in additional tax revenue.   
   >   
   >* More than a third of the tax dollars paid by undocumented immigrants   
   >go toward payroll taxes dedicated to funding programs that these workers   
   >are barred from accessing. Undocumented immigrants paid $25.7 billion in   
   >Social Security taxes, $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes, and $1.8 billion   
   >in unemployment insurance taxes in 2022.   
   >   
   >* At the state and local levels, slightly less than half (46 percent, or   
   >$15.1 billion) of the tax payments made by undocumented immigrants are   
   >through sales and excise taxes levied on their purchases. Most other   
   >payments are made through property taxes, such as those levied on   
   >homeowners and renters (31 percent, or $10.4 billion), or through   
   >personal and business income taxes (21 percent, or $7.0 billion).   
   >   
   >* Six states raised more than $1 billion each in tax revenue from   
   >undocumented immigrants living within their borders. Those states are   
   >California ($8.5 billion), Texas ($4.9 billion), New York ($3.1   
   >billion), Florida ($1.8 billion), Illinois ($1.5 billion), and New   
   >Jersey ($1.3 billion).   
   >   
   >* In a large majority of states (40), undocumented immigrants pay higher   
   >state and local tax rates than the top 1 percent of households living   
   >within their borders.   
   >   
   >* Income tax payments by undocumented immigrants are affected by laws   
   >that require them to pay more than otherwise similarly situated U.S.   
   >citizens. Undocumented immigrants are often barred from receiving   
   >meaningful tax credits and sometimes do not claim refunds they are owed   
   >due to lack of awareness, concern about their immigration status, or   
   >insufficient access to tax preparation assistance.   
   >   
   >* Providing access to work authorization for undocumented immigrants   
   >would increase their tax contributions both because their wages would   
   >rise and because their rates of tax compliance would increase. Under a   
   >scenario where work authorization is provided to all current   
   >undocumented immigrants, their tax contributions would rise by $40.2   
   >billion per year to $136.9 billion. Most of the new revenue raised in   
   >this scenario ($33.1 billion) would flow to the federal government while   
   >the remainder ($7.1 billion) would flow to states and localities.

   "Collectivism, any of several types of social organization in which   
   the individual is seen as being subordinate to a social collectivity   
    such as a state, a nation, a race, or a social class. Collectivism   
   may be contrasted with individualism (q.v.), in which the rights and   
    interests of the individual are emphasized.   
   https://www.britannica.com/topic/collectivism   
      
   A collectivist is someone who is content to give up his rights and   
   interests and be subordinant to the group's leader, Such people are   
   commonly referred to as"sheeple."   
      
   Collectivism is for losers
