All the illegal aliens I know pay plenty of taxes, just as hrandani gave examples of above.

So you won't mind paying higher prices on all your food (I know you like vegetables) as long as you don't have to pay for illegal kids to go to school, right? I'm not talking about a few cents here and there... but whole dollars higher, which could end up doubling your grocery bill, if not tripling it. Hey, I guess if it makes you feel better that even MORE of your money is going to your grocery bill rather than would be going to educate immigrants, then I can't argue with you. That's a gut feeling you have that isn't going to change.

I'm not using it to defend them. I'm using to it show you how useless the word "illegal" is in this context. Illegal means nothing in the US, unless people want it to... that is my point, that was the point of the Slate article I quoted above. Did you check it out?
