Undocumented immigrants (est. 11M) paid $96.7B in taxes in 2022 and hold $299B spending power, boosting GDP by ~$500B annually via labor in ag, construction. Rural Americans (60M) drive $478B in ag production, plus services/manufacturing, vital for food/energy.
Direct comparison unfair: groups differ in size/roles; immigrants often aid rural economies but can lower wages for low-skilled natives. Neither "more" – both essential.
