"...prominent immigrant-bashers forget their own personal reliance on immigrant labor..Nevada's Governor Jim Gibbons, ...once employed an undocumented nanny; the Boston Globe revealed late last year, Mitt Romney's lawn in suburban Boston was maintained by illegal immigrants from Guatemala."
"Undocumented immigrants annually pay an estimated $7 billion more than they take out into Social Security, and $1.5 billion more into Medicare.... A study by the National Academy of Sciences also found that tax payments generated by immigrants outweighed any costs associated with services used by immigrants."
for wages withheld by unscrupulous employers; The homeowner who tells the domestic worker the wage is actually several hundred dollars less;the landscaping service that stiffs its undocumented workers for their labor. Who's the "illegal" here?
"there's the massive compensation owed to undocumented immigrants for preventable injuries on the job"

You are so right! Why do people keep saying that they dont pay taxes? What the hell are they talking about? Ok, when they take jobs they dont say that they are legal, they say they are legal citizens and they fill out W2's just like everyone else! They get taxes taken out too. PLus they never file taxes and could get back so much money but they dont, and the US goverment keeps all that money....so what they hell is every complaining about???

So, they pay a small portion to Social Security and Medicare, but their wages are low enough that they pay no federal income tax, and typically even get the "earned income credit" so they take out more than they pay in. Throw into the mix all of the other ENTITLEMENT programs that they take advantage, and the fac that they send billions home to Mexico, AND keep wages in our country low by taking jobs that would otherwised be forced to pay more.

What part of drain to our economy does not make sense?

Oh, and let's not forget how disproportionate you find illegals in our prisons!!!!!

CANE THEM AND SEND THEM BACK!

Because they are breaking the law. Since when do we award people by breaking law with a bonus?

Sorry, going to disagree. The last article I read, it cost $19,000 per illegal in governent subsides. I don't see illegal paying $19,000 a year in taxes to just break even. It cost over $10,000 now the educate a child in public schools. They all have a heard of kids.

Thank you for your information. People don't realize that many illegal immigrants pay taxes, pay into social security and medicare. On top of that, a lot of people do not realize the reliance they themselves have on immigrant labor. I am glad at least one person recognizes it.
