That’s an excellent question, I’m glad you brought that up!

If California is comparable, not much. 80% of water usage goes to agricultural irrigation. 12% goes to landscape watering, much of that to golf courses in the desert. Household use is the remaining 8%, and if you go with 10% of California residents being illegal (the usual stat), and that those residents use the average amount of water, that leaves less than 1% of water being used by illegals.

That problem isn't illegals, it's that they're growing cotton in the desert during a decades-long drought.
