Yes and no. like common legal citizens some pay taxes but others evade it.
However most do, as much as 2/3 of illegal aliens pay medicare, social security and personal income taxes.
Yet Congressmen like Tom Tancredo have spread false rumors that illegal aliens are a drain on nation's hospitals, schools, and welfare programs- using services they don't pay for.

The issue of illegal immigration is a sensitive one. Many citizens of a nation feel that deportation is appropriate for illegal immigrants, as it is both mandated by law and viewed as a personal right of the nation to permit only those who pass qualifications to become naturalized. Amnesty is generally frowned on by citizens, as they view it as capitulation or giving the illegal immigrants a free ride to citizenship status. Additional problems occur as illegal immigrants do not pay taxes but use the social programs those taxes are designed to pay for. This can result in exacerbating economic problems.
