Yes, undocumented immigrants pay billions in taxes annually—$8.5B in CA state/local (sales, property, payroll) and $96.7B nationally (2022, ITEP). They contribute economically by filling key jobs in agriculture and services, boosting GDP. However, they cost CA ~$31B/yr in services like education and healthcare (FAIR, 2023), creating a net fiscal debate.
