Yes. My point wasn't that "they're not illegal immigrants because they pay their taxes", but that - of all the immigrants one could have - the ones that do pay taxes, while getting nothing in return for it are surely even more profitable for a state than actual citizens which can and do make use of public services.

Yes, but they're still undocumented and can technically be deported at any time. Trump is probably going after them specifically because it's easier to round up the law abiding ones instead of doing the actual dangerous gang members and whatnot he keeps going on about.
