It's a number I've seen used several times...although I'm sure it's a pro-immigration source...I've also read that the Social Security Administration alone attributes about 7 Billion in taxes to illegal or undocumented people.
I'd completely agree that some communities shoulder much more of the burden than others...
Also, I'm not arguing that illegal immigration is a good thing or that there's parity between give and take...
Rather, that there is a tremendous input into our economy by illegal workers, and they they aren't going anywhere soon. Any feesable long-term solution must take these factors into account.
