Summary
A recent study by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas examined the economic effects of unauthorized immigration in the United States using data from 2021 to 2025. The study found that unauthorized immigrants increased overall employment by filling new or vacant jobs without reducing wages for existing workers. It also found that they contributed to higher tax revenues and lower public social support payments. However, the increase in unauthorized immigration was associated with higher home prices and rents due to greater housing demand and limited housing supply. The author concludes that unauthorized immigration has both positive and negative economic effects, highlighting the importance of understanding and preparing for these impacts through informed policy.
