Do illegal immigrants have any intrest in helping the U.S. government?

Question

Some people I know think that illegal immigrants have absolutely no intrest in helping the governtment.... can anyone help me by providing some answers and web links?

Answer 1

As stated your question is difficult to answer.

Generally speaking, illegal immigrants have come to this country seeking a better way of life for themselves &/or their family by earning more money , living in a more secure environment offering safety , education, & sustenance for them , which were not available or very limited in the country they migrated from.

By the very nature of being illegal it is not likely they would have any opportunity to "help" the government in any way.

But then aside from paying taxes what do most native born citizens of this country actually do to "HELP" the government? And paying taxes doesn't really help the government it just facilitates government programs & the redistribution of wealth.
