These impressive young people provide enormous
contributions to our society, including paying an estimated $2 billion
every year in State and local taxes. The economic loss to Pennsylvania
is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions. To be exact, by one
estimate, it is a $357.1 million loss to the State's GDP. How about the
Nation overall? By one estimate, if this were to go forward and these
young people were to be deported in the numbers some are talking about,
it is a national number that is in the hundreds of billions of
dollars--by one estimate, north of $400 billion. That is the impact. So we have to get this done one way or the other.
