The average illegal immigrant is 34 years old. If he receives amnesty, he will receive government benefits for 50 years. Some amnesty proposals suggest restricting benefit access for the first 13 years after amnesty, but that limit would have little impact on long-term costs. Over the course of a lifetime, 11.5 million illegal immigrants granted amnesty would receive $9.4 trillion in government benefits after paying just $3.1 trillion in taxes.

This study defines "government benefits" to in include the cost of roads, fire protection, police protection, etc.
I really don't see us cutting the cost of firefighting and building roads if we get rid of all immigrants.
Best I can tell it also assumes that not a single immigrant will earn more than a person with no high school education.
Lot of number twisting to come up with an imaginary number.
