Sure, we have many of them coming over as executives and what not so they are making huge tax payments.
Tell me, would you like to have all the taxes back that are taken from your paycheck? Are you Fortune500 CEO?

The fact that they pay taxes is a fact. That's all it is, there whether you like it or not. You can debate whether they pay less than they cost, for which you will have to specify how you are figuring costs (or how the study you cite figures cost).

Now that's fair. You can spend all the time you want ranting and raving over how they got here, but it'll never solve the problem. Why they are here, that's where the solution lies. They are here because they get jobs. You work your job to get money to eat and clothe yourself. So do they. You want them out, take away their jobs. Pay more for everything. Run into shortages due to lack of labor.
