and a check in the mail for persecuting and shipping illegal immigrants out of the country?

Umm...I don't think anyone with half an ounce of economic sense would make such a claim. The fact of the matter is, illegal immigrants do work far cheaper than minimum wage laws allow, so, while conventional wisdom indicates that firms should pass such savings on to the customer in the form of lower prices, they don't. They tend to pocket the wage savings as profit, then raise prices in the event of a labor shock after consumers have become accustomed to such prices. They end up with the same amount of profit they would have under the cheap labor supply, but the consumers are universally worse off. This is not a Pareto efficient labor outcome.

Sounds like totally unrelated items. To get a check in the mail, you probably need to have overpaid for something, done some work and are being compensated. How is shipping illegal immigrants out of the country related to prices? My mortgage would remain the same and so would my insurance. Taxes only go up. I'm really bored or I wouldn't be addressing this question at all.

Persecution? No one's being persecuted, this is a long-standing and long-tolerated systematic violation of our immigration laws that we're talking about, a well-established racket that's come to the end of its' welcome. People that aren't US citizens need to go to the countries they're actually citizens OF and fix their own problems, you know, 'work', you've heard of it?
It's not the responsiblity of the United States nor its' citizens to support any and all comers who've glided across our borders under cover of darkness. Declaring further amnesties to legions of unknowns in our country on unknown business is nothing less than an abdication of control over the lands that entirely too many generations of people have sweated and died over to call our country. The reason that others are coming to us in this way is because decades of liberals and apologists have been hugely successful in selling the public on the idea of nanny-statism among other BS stories. We need to send the globalists packing, along with their shady business dealings, if only they could be additionally held responsible for the catastrophic debts they've helped incur. Our national debt now stands at 8.4 trillion dollars,
possibly even more by some estimations, when DOES the bleeding stop? Simple. When the american people stand up, step forward, and say 'no more'. Part of that is asking those that have no lawful right to be in our country to pack up, and leave.
Write your congressman and be adamantly and unabashedly positive in your support of border and immigration enforcement.
This is america we're talking about, guests are welcome, freeloaders, banditos, and full-fledged criminals are not.

Maybe. But, that isn't the point. The point is people who are here illegally need to be sent home, where they can petition for admission to work and live here legally. Unless they have a valid reason, and then, they should have been more objective in their thought processes, and persued a different means of entry, which would have been legal. I welcome all who have the fortitude to enter this nation legally, and become productive members of its society, whether as citizens or legal aliens. If my ex can do it, so can they.

Homeland Security offers rewards for turning in businesses next year and the IRS offers 15% on unpaid taxes.
I'd do it for free, but yes, you can and people have gotten a check, a town in PA got a check for $2 million several weeks ago.

no we'll get higher prices for goods services and fruit.
But our Social Security Check will be safe because the Gov't won't have to go into it to pay for our failing schools and health care systems!
Wake UP!

Not hardly!
Did the price of candy go down and size go up, when the sugar prices fell to what they were originally?
And Tim, they should have bounties on people who suggest murdering people!
