That depends on the source, it would seem.
From
Fox News:
Although hiring undocumented workers is illegal, the law is rarely enforced. Three out of four foreigners that enter the United States do so illegally and half are paid under the table, so they don't pay taxes.
On a more local level, from the
Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, regarding undocumented immigrants in Chicago:
Although 70% of undocumented immigrant workers pay taxes, they often don't collect tax refunds owed them.
