exactly. the whole "illegal immigrants don't contribute to taxes" is a red herring fallacy, meant to distract people from reality. They contribute to property taxes (whether they own or rent), state taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, etc etc. Therefore their children are not a drain on public schools and they are not a drain on the public health/welfare programs, because they largely contribute at the state and local level.
