The amount is astronomical.

And that they buy food and gas and clothing and merchandise and services that contribute to the economy and to the tax base.

It's difficult to rant about a group of people sucking the life force out of the US economy if you have to acknowledge that they contribute to that economy. Better to just ignore the facts that are inconvenient.
