Define "freeloading" for me. They don't have access to big social services (TANF, SSI, etc) due to not having documentation, roads are funded through fuel taxes as far as I'm aware (so if they're pumping gas, they're paying for the roads), dog parks are usually paid out of local sales tax (again, only as far as I know, I live in GA and we're a fucked up state a lot of times).

Income tax is a big one, but not on a small scale (like municipal level)... Hell, I haven't ever had a local income tax that I can remember.

Yeah I take your meaning that the severity of the freeloading is negligible in most cases.

I was just trying to demonstrate how an illegal immigrant could in principal be "taking" from the system for the person who asked.
