Is it really true that the average illegal immigrant earns over $160,000 a year?

Or is this just another pathetic attempt by pro-crime nutjobs to defend their belief that certain people should be allowed to break any law they want?

Update:

No River, the claim was $160K per person. A 5 person household would bring in $800K a year.

Update 2:

George L : This is in reference to some of the more idiotic claims being made on why criminal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the US. Doing the math on the claim broke down to $160,000+ a year per illegal immigrant. It's not my claim, I'm really just making fun of it :P

    Probably.

    I once asked my gardener and he told me he makes about $400K per year, and his wife, who works cleaning houses, makes roughly $250K, all tax free. I asked him why he drives this rusted out 1984 Toyota pickup and he told me that he has a Rolls Royce and a brand new Ferrari in his garage at home.

    No, obviously it's not true. however, it would be helpful to know what your source is for this fairly preposterous claim. In any case, a 5 person household wouldn't normally have 5 working members, 2, maybe 3.

    Did you know that 3 out of 4 people agree 95% of statistics and 3/5ths of all numbers are made up on the spot?

    I'm thinking you just made up a bunch of numbers.

    Can't possibly be true since the average legal resident earns about $40 000 (median income).

    extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence...

    Not true, you just pulling stuff out of your butt again.

    If you could only get that big bug out of there you might not be one of the biggest bigots on YA.

    Maybe.
