Households headed by illegal aliens imposed more than $26.3 billion in costs on the federal government in 2002 and paid only $16 billion in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of almost $10.4 billion, or $2,700 per illegal household.
If illegal aliens were given amnesty and began to pay taxes and use services like households headed by legal immigrants with the same education levels, the estimated annual net fiscal deficit would increase from $2,700 per household to nearly $7,700, for a total net cost of $29 billion.

First off, your question makes absolutely no sense. Giving amnesty to illegal immigrants will actually increase tax revenues because they would have to pay taxes like everyone else. They would also have to pay DMV fees to get a vehicle registered which doesn't happen now.
Second, hospitals are going out of business because of crooked insurance claims and our friends at the pharmaceutical companies. That's who's really hurting our healthcare system. When an insurance company has to pay $172 for an acne wash, there is a problem. Hospital unions are also to blame for the demise of our healthcare system. When you have to pay an orderly $60 per hour because the union says you have to, someone is going broke.
It's easy to blame illegal immigrants for everything in this country but what nobody sees is that they provide a huge service for us. They are essential to this economy. If illegal immigrants went away today, you would be paying as much as $5 for a single orange in about 6 months. In about a year, most agricultural companies would be gone to foreign countries, perhaps even Mexico. We can't even compete in a high tech market so how can we compete in agriculture? Everything would be outsourced to China and India. You know you would be crying about that too..........

And the richest CITIZENS, those who pay the lions share of the taxes in this country will simply leave or put all of their money into a off shore tax shelter like teddy kennedy has. Then the services that we have in this country will either disappear or taxes to the middle class will go up so high that we will look like mexico.

Hospitals are going broke all over the U.S.....guess why?
Because 43 MILLION American citizens have no health insurance.
Our schools are broken because SCHOOL BOARD DON'T KNOW HOW TO MANAGE MONEY.
And, most of our new citizens will do what all of our new citizens have always done. Go to work, raise a family and become part of the community....oh, and taxes will come out of their paycheck - just like it does for the rest of us.

Remember, under the proposed bill, illegals will be charged a $5000 fine each. I'd also like to point out that during the 90s we had a flood of immigration and our economy boomed. These immigrants are taking cleaning jobs that some of us wouldn't think about and happily doing a great job. And has they make money they spend money. They will also pay taxes. Those problems, you mentioned are real. But are you saying we wouldn't have them without the immigrants?
It is a delicate subject. Some things you hear might make one scared. But I think, with a level headed view, we see that their presents are not a great threat.
I would also point out that all are immigrants or offspring of such accept for Native Americans.
Additional: It just occurred to me. How will we support shipping these millions back to Mexico. It is easy to sit at your desk and complain. But what if you actually had to carry out solutions.
It is easy to sit at your desk and complain but what if your expensive solution makes you send people back to homelessness and starvation.

Yes!!!!
This is just the beginning!
Democrats will destroy us with taxes, But will come in and save us with their Communism.
This has been planned since the 30's.
The goal of the Democrats has always been Communism.

You're so kind to refer to them as "our new citizens", I'd call them "our continuous moochers". Our tax dollars are already supporting them so I don't know if it will be any different. I'm just waiting for the day our national language is Spanish - we're so close to being there already, it's f'ing pathetic.

yep... and shouldn't we worry about supporting our own citizens before we worry about supporting people here illegally from another country- seems like we should take care of our own first.. make programs, bills, and laws for our own citizens that are hungry, poor, homeless- the ones that actually fall on hard times- that get laid off, or are devastated from weather or other disaster

The bottom line is we can't afford to support them. We will very soon be unable to feed our families and homelessness as well as crime will skyrocket. We will be Mexico.
NO ILLEGAL IS HUMAN!

Those who are willing to work for low pay are supporting us! Who do you think is washing the dishes in the restaurants we eat at, as well as picking the fruit and vegetables we eat, mowing our lawns, and taking care of our children?
