How would that be tracked as “spent by an undocumented immigrant”?
As undocumented immigrants, they’d be unable to have bank accounts, so all of their payments would be in cash wouldn’t they?

Seems to me that no matter how you slice it, whichever way the reports are being compiled, the accuracy is going to be extremely low.

I suspect it might be but in its core it points at a truth, anyone who works in a country creates value and anyone who spends their earnings in a country contributes to tax. And I would not be surprised that proportional to their income immigrants end up paying more tax to their country than a billionaire.

“unable to have bank accounts”
Believe it or not Mexican debit cards are accepted in the United States.
