Just like everyone else.

And in this specific issue, since the rent they pay funds the property 
tax, they do pay for schools.

So Jesus earns $1,000 a month washing cars.  He sends $300 home every 
month -- using US firms to do so, which generates turnover and protects 
US jobs.  The family back home in Mexico is happy and spends the money, 
increasing their purchasing power.  This means they become customers -- 
and many of the companies that sell them stuff will be American or sell 
American goods.  All that flows back into the US.

What's more, illegals working for low wages increases productivity and 
profits for US businesses large and small.  This increases the national 
wealth and the tax revenue.  It also frees up many expensively educated 
US citizens to do more productive things themselves -- asking a US 
citizen to mow lawns or wash cars or pick fruit is a vastly 
self-indulgent waste of money.
