   >>* More than a third of the tax dollars paid by undocumented immigrants   
   >>go toward payroll taxes dedicated to funding programs that these   
   workers

   in

   >>* 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

   >>personal and business income taxes (21 percent, or $7.0 billion).

   >>billion), Florida ($1.8 billion), Illinois ($1.5 billion), and New   
   >>Jersey ($1.3 billion).

   higher

   >>* 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.
