Overall, area immigrants pay nearly one-third of their income to the government -- at least $10 billion a year -- but those here illegally pay less than $1 of every $5 they earn in taxes, the report says. That is partly because they earn less but also because many are paid off the books and escape payroll taxes." Legal immigrants do pay taxes and in the D.C. area there are many affluent legal immigrants. However, we are talking about illegal immigrants. The article did have other comments about illegals but if you read it carefully, some may be paying something approaching a reasonable share but most are not. Of course most citizens don't pay taxes that equal what the costs for them are, either.
