In regards to paying taxes and social welfare resources, they actually contribute quite a bit:

And in a perverse turn of events, they probably help some social welfare programs (ie Social Security) because they can never receive those benefits.

"Donald Trump may not have paid federal income taxes for 20 years, but the undocumented immigrants he rails against certainly have, according to the head of a Latino civic engagement organization."

This is the FIRST SENTENCE of the article. Sorry, but if the first sentence is bashing someone who follows the tax laws because of a political reason, I am not going to be able to say that is a credible source. The article has a strong political bias for illegal immigrants.

If the SECOND SENTENCE of a comment is a factually false statement, I'll still honor the effort and respond with more accurate (even if imperfect) information ;)
