Quote:He said "most" of them, and the unreasonable assumption is that they "most" of them pay salary taxes.

A quick Google search shows that $11B is about .005% of the taxes that Fed, State, and local governments will receive. Illegal immigrants make up no less than 10% of the population with the potential to be closer to 15%. Again, it appears the idea that they actually pay taxes is far more unreasonable than the other way around.

Where on Earth did you get those numbers? That's closer to the percentage of all immigrants in the U.S. The most common figure I found for illegal immigrants was 3.5%.
