A report by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute found that over 21,000 undocumented immigrants in Sonoma County contribute an estimated $2.3 billion in economic activity and pay nearly $1 billion in state and federal taxes. The report noted that these residents comprise roughly 30% of agricultural jobs, 19% of administrative jobs, and 13% of service jobs in the county.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The institute warned that concentrated deportation and detention efforts would destabilize the local economy. Furthermore, the report stated that fear alone, resulting from federal enforcement operations, could disrupt the economy by making immigrants fearful of going to work.
