Oh, yes, let's take an editorial from a state newspaper where illegal immigration is a contentious issue, oh, and which only talks about costs and doesn't talk about any contributions. We can stipulate the costs. That isn't the point. The point is the net.

How about instead we head over to Wikipedia, where anyone and everyone, of every bias, can contribute and include the facts they think are pertinent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_impact_of_illegal_immigrants_in_the_United_States

From here, we get choice quotes such as:

A 2007 review of the academic literature by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that "over the past two decades, most efforts to estimate the fiscal impact of immigration in the United States have concluded that, in aggregate and over the long term, tax revenues of all types generated by immigrants—both legal and unauthorized—exceed the cost of the services they use."

Just four paragraphs below that quote you can find a list of all of the taxes they contribute but will never draw, noting that illegals are basically funding social security for our aging parents.

The Social Security and Medicare contributions of illegal immigrants directly support older Americans, as illegal immigrants are not eligible to receive these services, although their children born in the United States are eligible for such benefits.[23] Illegal immigrants pay social security payroll taxes but are not eligible for benefits. During 2006, Standard & Poor's analysts wrote: "Each year, for example, the U.S. Social Security Administration maintains roughly $6 billion to $7 billion of Social Security contributions in an "earnings suspense file"—an account for W-2 tax forms that cannot be matched to the correct Social Security number. The vast majority of these numbers are attributable to illegal workers who will never claim their benefits. For 2010, the Social Security Administration estimated that illegal immigrants and their employers paid $13 billion in required social security payroll taxes.

Then we have the contributions to prices and wages over all:

NPR reported in March 2006 that when the wages of lower-skilled workers go down, the rest of America benefits by paying lower prices for things like restaurant meals, agricultural produce and construction. The economic impact of illegal immigration is far smaller than other trends in the economy, such as the increasing use of automation in manufacturing or the growth in global trade. But economists generally believe that when averaged over the whole economy, the effect is a small net positive.

Look, I could go on quoting it but you can read it for yourself. It's all there, sourced even.

Either you can read it, check out the sources, and maybe learn something you didn't know before, or you can go on cherry-picking factoids and quoting biased media to support what you wanted to believe all along. It's up to you, I've put as much into this as I need to.
