I don't see how illegal immigrants are paying their way. Even if the have SS deducted from their wages, states aren't getting that money - the federal government is.
So the 11 million illegal aliens in the country cost 113 billion? Yeah sure they do. Those are made up numbers.

Your typical fake papers illegal alien pays as much in state and local taxes as any other legal worker. You can't just pay someone and solely take out social security. It is close to impossible to pay cash nowadays for any period of time for a business larger than a few employees. There are billions of dollars in withholding taxes that are never claimed that go to the state and federal govt.
