Does keeping illegals illegal help our economy? I think of it this way...I am pretty sure some work for me, although I have done everything i can to document the worker, proof, checked against known fraudulent IDs, etc...I am also pretty sure they operate on some appearance of legality. So, they pay their taxes, yet cannot draw on social programs, or recieve health insurance (HUGE costs) They can use the emergency room, but not that many people have a need for emergency care...not as many as pay. If we make them legal, they can now draw on social programs, etc...so doesn't it make sense to keep them here, and illegal? We get the cheap labor, collect taxes, and dont pay back out to them. And please, this is for those who are fiscally conservative, this is not a debate on the morality of law.
