Right-wingers love to accuse undocumented immigrants of taking more from this country than they give. That is a ridiculous lie. They not only give to this country through their work and service, but also in tax dollars. And that includes taxes of all kinds -- sales taxes, property taxes, and income taxes. In fact they pay a larger share of income taxes than Americans making the same salary (because they can't get a tax refund when they overpay through pay check deductions).
