What people get Sandy vaginas about is that their paycheck is cut into pieces, and the paychecks for illegals is not.
I'm not speaking to what people get upset about.
According to that link, the average amount of taxes paid by illegal immigrant households is higher than the rate paid by legal citizens. The article says that is true even when it is taken into account that half of illegal immigrants avoid paying income taxes.
Unless you're prepared to argue with that statistic, the link actually belies your deeper point.
The credibility of Salon.com was called into question, so this may be a simple act.
(I have never heard of Salon.com before, so I have no idea if its a credible source.)
