Those funds – estimated to bring in $90 billion over the decade if 9 million people are enrolled-- would be earmarked for U.S. worker job skills and retraining programs in an effort to address concerns that immigrants are displacing American workers.
The immigrants would also have to pay 2% of the paychecks to a new Immigration Infrastructure Fund that would be used to secure the southern border, with new border construction barriers, added technology and employing an additional 3,000 border agents.
The 2% levy on immigrant wages is estimated to bring in an estimated $45 billion to $90 billion dollars, assuming wages would range from an average of $25,000 to $50,000.
