Not only do illegal immigrants not pay any taxes, they don't receive benefits from those taxes.
I must disagree. Illegal aliens are entitled to emergency medical care. They treat the emergency room as their primary care physician. And the hospitals are required to treat them. What if they don't pay? (and most do not.) The hospitals pass the costs along to us through higher fees. This is essentially a benefit for illegals funded by a tax (higher fees) on the rest of us.
Just because illegal aliens are not legally entitled to other benefits does not mean they do not apply for them. Yes. It is true that illegal aliens have received grants, professional accreditations, loans, WIC, disability, public housing, college educations, food stamps, unemployment benefits, and tax credits from state and federal agencies.
John Galt was VERY particular about who was allowed to enter Galt's Gulch.
