Losing $188,227 every hour, send fax today for immigration reform

from Gabe Gonzalez, Reform Immigration FOR America

Tomorrow is tax day in America, but we’re leaving millions of dollars on the table by stalling on legalization. That revenue adds up: a report from the Immigration Policy Center and the Center for American Progress found that legalization of undocumented immigrants would generate between $4.5 billion and $5.4 billion in tax revenues over three years.

That’s $1,650,000,000 every year
It’s $4,517,453.80 every day
It’s $188,227 every hour
It’s $52.29 every second, that we could be generating in tax income. That money could fund infrastructure and public services – but until Congress acts, we’ll be leaving money on the table that could help our communities.

Let’s show Congress how big an impact immigrants could have on our economy if we’d let them come out of the shadows. Click headline to send a blank tax form representing the taxes that undocumented immigrants could be paying this year.

We’ll be delivering the tax forms to Senator Hutchison’s office tomorrow – now that she’s announced that she’ll be finishing her Senate term, we think that Senator Hutchison will be an important voice in the fight for reform. It’s time to deliver her a strong message: these tax forms could have been sent to the IRS and state governments, along with millions in tax revenue, but instead, they’re blank because we haven’t passed the reform we need yet.

We’ll be delivering these forms tomorrow, so make sure you sign up to send a blank form today!

Thank you,
Gabe Gonzalez

p.s. We’re not sending any of your personal information to anyone – just a blank tax form! Please sign up to send a tax form to Senator Hutchison today!

Hey ! the Govt' knows best, if they think that in their infinate wisdom that they don't need to collect taxes and such from immigrants, then so be it, meanwhile they are racking up huge deficits and they can't even see where they could pick up extra income, REAL SMART.
