A tax day report by the Immigration Policy Center details the amount of taxes paid by the state’s unauthorized immigrant households last year.  According to the IPC, “Tax Day is an appropriate time to underscore the often-overlooked fact that unauthorized immigrants pay taxes.”

In 2010, Wisconsin households headed by unauthorized immigrants paid $94,455,196 in personal, property and sales taxes.
