AccessNorthGa.com: ATLANTA - A study released Thursday by an Atlanta policy group disputes the notion that illegal immigrants are only a drain on taxpayers.
The study issued by the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute estimates that Georgia's illegal immigrants pay up to $252 million a year in taxes. The GBPI found that the average illegal immigrant family in Georgia pays an estimated $2300.00 in state and local sales, income and property taxes combined.
The report comes as the Legislature prepares to consider legislation to deny state-funded services to illegal immigrants.
