Baltimore Sun :”They live honest lives and work hard to pay taxes for benefits they may never receive such as Social Security and unemployment benefits. According to the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy, for 2010 alone, undocumented immigrants in Maryland paid $275.2 million in state and local taxes. In fact, according to the Perryman Group, if all undocumented immigrants were removed from Maryland, the state would lose $15.3 billion in economic activity, $6.8 billion in gross state product and over 70,000 jobs. And, on a national level, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that if the comprehensive immigration legislation passed last summer by the U.S. Senate was enacted, it would add nearly a trillion dollars in federal tax revenues.”

WOW, look at all those taxes that illegals pay.

But he forgot to mention they get food stamps and EITC, and would get even more if legal.

Amnesty will super saturate the nation with the kind of government dependent citizenry the left is looking for.

If illegals working under the table are actually paying this much in taxes, they are too stupid to become Citizens.

(Yawn) more Third World agit prop-—trying to convince us the border-violators are a great bunch.

If the invaders are so nice, productive and honest, taxpaying honeys, why are the homelands they’re escaping from fetid hellholes and cesspools?
