Quote:"State and local taxes"...means they are adding up how much they pay in sales tax.

So, if the study says that they pay 11.5 billion in sales taxes, then if we assume hypothetically that the average sales tax rate is 7%, then they are spending somewhere around 164 billion dollars in taxable transactions.

I'm not making any pro or anti illegal immigrant point, but, if it is true, then that is a pretty substantial contribution to the economy.
