The Washington post predicts, “the most important effect would be a decline in manufacturing output of $74 billion over the long term, followed by somewhat more modest declines in wholesale and retail trade and financial activities” (Ehrenfreund).

If the US was to give legal status to undocumented workers, their state and local tax would increase by $2.1 billion a year. This would pay off the cost of granting legal status to these immigrants, as well as pay more over time.
