That is certainly not the case in Canada. If someone is working illegally, in most cases they are paid under the table and no taxes are collect.

You have to have a Social Insurance number to get a job in the United States, so illegals will just have a number forged, not caring where the tax money goes. The money that goes into these accounts is taken out of the SS pool and held in limbo. This is a very common practice. A fall out of this is when they use these numbers they can register a new address with the government, and if someone is receiving SS the checks are re-routed to the new PO Box and cashed at any check cashing store (which are very prevalent in the US). The only one who gets hurt is the poor old guy that has to fill out paperwork until he goes blind while trying to get his money from the government.
