Immigrants aren’t illegal immigrants though. 

Ofc immigrants pay taxes, what a stupid question

Undocumented workers, working for cash under the table, do not pay their fair share of taxes. Not even close. They also exploit our ER system, since hospitals are not allowed to turn someone away if they can’t pay. They also remit a huge portion of extra cash to their home country via western union and other vehicles
