Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple studies have shown that immigrant families pay more in taxes than they receive in public benefits. This is due to the fact that many immigrants are working and contributing to social security and other payroll taxes, as well as paying property and sales taxes. Additionally, immigrants often do not qualify for certain government benefits, such as Medicaid, until they have been in the country for several years.
