I'm sure they're paying sales tax. Not sure how much that covers, from the state's perspective.

I'd heard that they don't take advantage of nearly all public services because A) they don't know what those services are or how to claim them, and B) those services require an ID and social security card to gain benefit from them.

I know it's my opinion, man, but on healthcare and education, I consider those a right I'm willing to bear the burden for. So whatever the burden on those 2 issues, I'm OK with the cost.

Jails and courts? Isn't catching criminals their job?
What?

I addressed public services.

25% of the people in the town are illegal immigrants who aren't paying local town tax? They're still paying sales tax (I assume), but the town's tax system doesn't pull money for those public services through sales tax?
That's a problem, yeah.
Decriminalization of illegal immigrants aside (not my position), there's changing the tax code to reflect this trend, there's calling in the problem to the federal authorities.

What if your state doesn't collect sales or income taxes?
