*****Using data from the Census Bureau's current population survey, Steven Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, an advocacy group in Washington that favors more limits on immigration, estimated that 3.8 million households headed by illegal immigrants generated $6.4 billion in Social Security taxes in 2002." -- Source

That JUST Social Security taxes mind you, they also pay sales taxes.****

I have no idea of where you're going with your argument but it sure DOESN'T help the illegals.

1. That $6.4 Billion equates to a stinking $1,684.21 per year which equates a GROSS income of a 'whopping' (sarcasm intended) $27,165.00 per year, or $522.40 a week for 52 weeks.
   
2. Your 'source' was the NY Times which isn't credible on any matter.
   
3. Sales taxes. SO WHAT?!? With a GROSS Income of $27K there isn't a lot of money left to be buying anything. Ergo the 'They Pay Sales Tax' pitch doesn't fly as paying sales taxes on nothing = nothing.

Again, I don't know what your point was, but it reads like DEPORT these LEECHES on society yesterday.

And if that's it - I concur.

"Your 'source' was the NY Times which isn't credible on any matter."

My "source" was the same as the New York Time's and the Center for Immigration studies...my "source" was the numbner posted by the Social Security Administration.

I also provided a link to the CIS's website confirming my numbers.

You should read.

Illegal aliens earn less than legal employees...does that surprise you?

Judging from the "tone" of your post, you'd be surprised to find out what the median wages are for Americans today.
