Here are a few articles:
- From the NYTimes via TruthOut:
Illegal Immigrants Are Bolstering Social Security with Billions
- A report on DC
Civic Contributions: Taxes Paid by Immigrants in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area (We know that's not exactly what the questioner wanted, but maybe it will be useful anyway.)
- Undocumented Immigrants in New Mexico: State Tax Contributions and Fiscal Concerns
It's past the deadline now, but I found the following documents which may be relevant.

- Overview of why it is hard to estimate net costs of illegal aliens, balanced view, well sourced
- Might be useful if this group wants to try an estimate local costs, "Local Fiscal Effects of Illegal Aliens"
- "Illegal Aliens: National Net Cost Estimates Vary Widely" US GAO. 1995.
- "Illegal Immigration in America: A Reference Handbook" (1999)
- "" (2006)
- "Illegal Aliens: Assessing Estimates of Financial Burden on California" (1994)
