I think she's referring to the Salma Hayek video posted before. Which was funny because it referred to Latino American GDP as a supporting argument right after mentioning illegal immigrants using ITIN to pay taxes. Motte and bailey. Or hilariously racist of a Mexican-American actress to call all Latino American citizens illegal immigrants.
Regardless, it's an example of ignoratio elenchi. Yes, people use the immigrants don't pay taxes argument, and some, more than likely not all, illegal immigrants pay slightly more than half the taxes Americans do per capita(1,2) - if you are to believe the ITEP estimates and population number that is also an estimate. This does not disprove any point about downard pressure on wages (3), public goods resource drain (4), capital loss through remittances (5), issues of cultural assimilation (6), or the simplest fact that they broke the law upon entry - they are not a legal resident, nor do they have temporary protected status.
TL;DR Retard makes retard argument, devoid of critical thinking.

Citizen Per Capita

Illegal Immigrant Per Capita

(4) No source, would be incalculable estimates anyways

Idc, it's better than direct foreign aid, but let's not act like their isn't an economic incentive for them
