A study by the left-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy shows that people in the country illegally (illegal immigrants) paid $97 billion in federal, state and local taxes during 2022 – almost $9,000 per person.
Illegal immigrants don't commit crimes. For instance, "the per capita crime rate among native-born Americans is roughly double that of people in the country illegally, according to the libertarian Cato Institute. Migrants are 26% less likely to commit homicide, for instance"
"Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that supports restrictions on immigration, told a U.S. House committee early last year that one-fifth of government health care expenditures for uninsured patients goes to undocumented immigrants.
That’s $7.5 billion annually nationwide, he testified"
Taking care of illegal immigrants only costs 42 billion dollars a year.
