Illegal immigrants pay local sales taxes, and many of them also pay state, local, and federal income tax and Social Security tax. They also purchase items from local merchants, increasing the amount these merchants pay in taxes.

Thus, it is not correct to say that illegal immigrants contribute nothing to the communities in which they live.
