That article claims they pay a higher effective rate on state and local taxes than those in the top 1%. It conveniently doesn’t show that same effective rate applies to everyone else who isn’t in the top 1%. So, the misnomer that illegal immigrants pay more in taxes than legal immigrants or citizens is bunk.
Also, if they’re paying income taxes, it means they are using a stolen SSN or used fake documents to obtain an ITIN. Then there are those who get paid under the table and skirt paying income taxes altogether.
