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.
- 234dd57d2c8db 10y ago"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.
