According to various studies and reports, including those by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy and the National Bureau of Economic Research, undocumented immigrants do indeed contribute significantly to state and local taxes in the United States. Therefore, statement D is true.
Statements A and B are incorrect as they generalize and oversimplify the complex and diverse attitudes of Americans towards immigration. While there are certainly those who support deportation and hold hostile attitudes towards immigrants, many others are more welcoming and supportive.
Statement C is also not entirely accurate as while some farmers and agricultural groups may advocate for stricter immigration policies, many others rely heavily on immigrant labor and support more lenient policies.
Statement E is partly true, as some industries with low-paying jobs, such as agriculture and hospitality, do employ a large number of undocumented immigrants. However, it is also important to note that many of these industries benefit greatly from the labor of these workers and may oppose efforts to remove them from the workforce.
