> Given that the Texas state government is funded largely off of sales tax and property tax--and undocumented immigrants are ineligible for most social services--undocumented immigrants are a net positive to Texas' revenue.They are subject to sales tax whenever they buy things and pay landlords' property tax via rent. All while being unable to use most social programs.
If we are presuming they are unable to use social programs because they aren't eligible, are we to also assume they are all subsistence farmers, since they aren't eligible to be hired?
Not saying they couldn't still be a net positive in terms of taxes vs. outlays.
