This is untrue and the amount of money they send to their families would be the same whether they were legal or illegal so it is a moot argument.
Illegal aliens spend a huge amount in taxation and those that deny it are simply lying. It can be argued that illegal aliens actually spend more in taxes than legal aliens and don't receive nearly the same benefits from those taxes. Remember, between their contribution and the employer contribution they are responsible for over 15% of their earnings being paid to the US government in FICA taxes alone and they receive no benefits from this taxation. When they rent an apartment their rent pays the property taxes for schools. When they pay sales tax the States benefit. When they buy a product they pay the embedded taxes on that product. Like everyone in America they work for about 4 months out of every year just to pay for taxes.
