"The percent of illegals paying income taxes through withholding is unprovable, and this simpleton professor should know that."

So, you believe that the increase in the Social Security Administration's Earnings Suspense File, most of the billions coming from States with known high illegal alien population, most of the jobs pumping the billions of dollars into the fund coming from restaurant workers, hotel workers, etc is just a coincidence?

Most of the states with suspected high populations of illegals are in the sunbelt, where the economies are generally growing. You don't think Gringos living in these states pay taxes? Whether those state's economic growth is related to the presence of illegals I don't know, but suspect there could be some causal relationship there.

I worked for the IRS in California during the 70's and 80's and NEVER met a farm worker that paid any taxes. At that time agricultural wages were exempt from Social Security taxes. It pi$$ed me off that I was making about $15,000 a year then and paying the full load of taxes (no employee discount), and the average farm worker in Castroville, Salinas, and Watsonville was making $25,000 a year, paying ZERO taxes and getting welfare to boot. I knew of several that were sharecropping with the local farmers and making up to $100,000 a year--again no taxes. I know from first-hand experience the tax non-compliance among illegals is VERY HIGH. These people are a net DRAIN on the country.

And BTW, if these people have been, or are paying into Social Security, and they get some sweetheart amnesty/citizenship deal from our perverted congress, they will then be legally entitled to SS benefits, and the "bulge" in the Suspense File will turn into a huge hole.
