"A stunning two-thirds of illegal immigrants pay Medicare, Social Security and personal income taxes. The 1996 welfare reform bill disqualified illegal immigrants from nearly all means-tested government programs including food stamps, housing assistance, Medicaid and Medicare-funded hospitalization. The 1996 welfare reform effort dramatically reduced the use of welfare by undocumented immigrant households. In 1996 the IRS began issuing id numbers to enable illegal immigrants who don't have Social Security numbers to file taxes. Close to 8 million of the 12 million or so illegal aliens in the country today file personal income taxes using these numbers, contributing billions to federal coffers. No doubt they hope that this will one day help them acquire legal status — a plaintive _expression of their desire to play by the rules and come out of the shadows."
"The non-partisan National Research Council found that when the taxes paid by the children of low-skilled immigrant families — most of whom are illegal — are factored in, they contribute on average $80,000 more to federal coffers than they consume."

Mass deportation is probably not a good solution. A little too late for that now.. Only thing left to do is just securing the border from now on, however, i'm not sure how well the border patrolers are doing on their job. I'm not sure if they are truly stopping anyone crossing illegally or if they even care to.
I don't know if they are being bribed(maybe by corporations) to let these illegals in..I've already heard these types of rumors so many times.

It's a money making scheme. They come across, don't get caught, get medical treatment, which in turn is paid for by the state via the federal government, which is putting money into the hospitals, which buys stuff like bandages and meds, which have to have distibution points, which hire illegals along the border states for minimum wage which buy stuff at the border Wal-Mart.................get it? It's a small pyramid scheme brought in part thanks to NAFTA, CAFTA, and soon a SAFTA with CAN (Community of Andean Nations--Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela ), so even more of an influx will be felt in this country.
I have no problem with coming here legally, if you are here illegally, send them home!

Bush is so in love with Fox . Fox sat on a mat. The kettle was sat on the Fox. Fox Got up some stream. Beer was served to Bush without a word.A sigh of relief escaped his lips like a long-needed crap. A change of altitude was called for

Because the police aren't 'ordered' to. I agree. But it's a complicated issue and America has to except blame for allowing this to happen. The U.S. could have put a halt to it all a long time ago if the wanted to, but they have to much to gain out of them being here.
No it's not wrong, the middle class is suffering due to this, but the rich and big businesses are winning big time.

No my friend you are not alone at all; I am of the belief that the ball has started rolling and it is such a big ball thet DWI Bush won't be able to stop it this time. This is going to cause him to go on a drunk that he will never recover from.
