Is there a reason to believe that the distribution of funds vs the economic activity generated by illegal immigrants is significantly different from any other group?

In the U.S. it is illegal for employers to hire illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants have trouble finding work and the majority of them work in low-skill, low-pay jobs. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/majority-of-undocumente...

Illegal immigrants generate much less economic activity per person than their legal immigrant counterparts.

I'm not sure how accurate it was, but someone wrote a piece about how there's just no way to measure how much a cost that group of people inflict vs contribute. The title of the article kind of says it all, undocumented and unmeasured. https://www.city-journal.org/html/undocumented-and-unmeasure...
