Illegal immigrants pay over 1 billion in income taxes. They contribute more income tax to our country than the 1%. They also pay 3x that amount in property taxes. As previously pointed out, there's a lot of other taxes they pay.
Undocumented workers pay federal taxes and they don't need stolen identifies to do so. We have a lot of ways to extract value from people even when they're not formally citizens.
