Really think the feds would do it that cheap?
I said "could", not "would". Under a President Scout26 all those unemployed BLM agents (among a whole bunch of others), could sure work the issue, and I bet get it done in time, and under cost, if their continued employment of securing the border were at stake.
Meanwhile,
not exactly true

Seriously USAToday as a source. Umm, no. I've done taxes for several years now and I have yet to see a single ITIN taxpayer NOT get a refund (plus getting both EITC and CTC.)
and a better indepth crunch of the numbers
a more broad longer look

And now the NY Times. Oh, wait. It's not actual reporting with facts and stuff. It's a blog piece (which is like an editorial, on moreso.) Might as well quote
Izvestia or
Pravda. It's simply another mouthpiece for the Obama administration, which just so happens to be pushing illegal immigration.
this last piece from business insider gets to bottom line numbers

WOW. One whole entire illegal immigrant claims to "pay their taxes". No mention of actually paying or what they paid in Federal income tax. SS and Medicare, perhaps, if not working for cash. Along with state income (again if not working for cash), along with property (yep, generally included in the rent), and sales taxes. So they paid $11B in state and local taxes, then collected over $4B in CTC refundable credits alone. (Figure at least another $2-3B in EITC) plus head over to any hospital's ER and count noses. Your paying for that, one way or another. Throw in various welfare, housing, food stamps, and other aid packages and soon it's well over $11B in costs.
I give you an D- for your thesis. Research was poorly done and completely failed to support your argument. Please resubmit factual and peer reviewed research. Blog posts and USAToday are actually worse than using Wikipedia as a source.
