During 2007, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reviewed 29 reports published over 15 years on the impact of unauthorized immigrants on the budgets of state and local governments. While cautioning that the reports are not a suitable basis for developing an aggregate national effect across all states, they concluded that:
State and local governments incur costs for providing services to unauthorized immigrants and have limited options for avoiding or minimizing those costs;
The amount that state and local governments spend on services for unauthorized immigrants represents a small percentage of the total amount spent by those governments to provide such services to residents in their jurisdictions;
The tax revenues that unauthorized immigrants generate for state and local governments do not offset the total cost of services provided to those immigrants, although the impact is most likely modest, and;
Federal aid programs offer resources to state and local governments that provide services to unauthorized immigrants, but those funds do not fully cover the costs incurred by those governments.

For instance, most unauthorized
immigrants are prohibited from receiving many of the
benefits that the federal government provides through
Social Security and such need-based programs as Food
Stamps, Medicaid (other than emergency services), and
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. At the same
time, the federal government requires that state and local
governments provide certain services to individuals,
regardless of their immigration status or ability to pay, in
order for those states or localities to participate in some of
its assistance programs.

So this is about local tax vs services. Tiny portion of taxation. Sme states don't have state tax at all. On federal level they pretty much get dick.
Tell me it ain't so...

spending by state and
local governments on services specifically provided to
unauthorized immigrants makes up a small percentage of
those governments’ total spending.

For example, because unauthorized immigrants
are less likely to have health insurance, they are more likely to rely on emergency facilities or public hospitals for treatment of nonemergency illnesses and other
health-related problems

Maybe they don't pay taxes because they are evil.. so fucking evil...
Quote:
the income that unauthorized immigrants
earn and the taxes they pay also contribute to their
net impact on state and local budgets. Unauthorized
immigrants typically earn less than do native-born citizens
and other immigrant groups and, partly as a result,
they also pay a smaller portion of their income in taxes..

Well fuck no. Most of them live at poverty level yet they don't ask for handouts like brassmonkeys do and they actually have 2 or 3 jobs to support their family in US and where they came from.
Grand finale ......
Quote:
A related effect is that lower-paying jobs also result in
unauthorized immigrants’ having less disposable income
to spend on purchases subject to sales or use taxes. State
and local governments typically rely more heavily on revenues
from those and other sources (such as property
taxes) than revenues generated by taxes on income

I guess it help reading entire document not first paragraph only...
Undocumented immigrants contribute significantly to state and local taxes, collectively paying an estimated $11.84 billion in 2012.
The effective state and local tax rate for undocumented immigrants’ nationwide is about 8 percent.
