In Arizona alone. According to yesterday's CNN they bring in $29 billion in Arizona alone. Business owners love them in Arizona, and say all these bills are racist agendas against Hispanics.
Yes illegals waste $1.9 billion which is what the racist, anti-illegals are always crying about. But the benefits outweigh the price.
What do you think??

Nite Scope....CNN did say that they WANTED to pass a bill to fine employers, but it has not passed yet because most business owners in Arizona are against it.

This is a interesting question. For sure the real answer is yes they do but just as they do so do we who were born and raised here. You are speaking about the undocumented worker but remember that AIDS came from Africa by a Canadian flight attendant who was here legally. It would be better for all to be very watchful of where they are going and with whom they come in contact with, but there will be times when you are no giving a choice. You need to eat, go to the Doctor, travel on airlines, buses and so forth.

That doesn't even come close to pay for schooling their kids. People with such low income would never make a net positive contribution for our government. THe cost for the lower income citizens is a net lost in itself, I can not see illegal immigrants being any different. THey may have a positive contribution in certain parts of the economy, like in Social security, but the net lost on other areas would out weigh that. They cost more in education, translators, medical and other social services than the average citizen.
Do You know how little 29 million is these days???

Their cost to taxpayers in Ohio is estimated at $3.5 BILLION annually, which is not even a border state. Costs in Arizona are outrageous. Most of what they "earn" they send out of the country.
They aren't bringing in anything. They are taking. Unfortunately for our nation, some unscrupulous employers hire illegals to save themselves some bucks and avoid taxes at the same time.
I think it is far past time to deport all illegal aliens, replace them with legal immigrants if the need for them is proven.

So business owners think all these bills are racist against hispanics? Then why don't they hire legal hispanics? I think they are just biased against citizens. Heaven forbid they have to pay proper wages, taxes, and insurance. The business owners may benefit from hiring illegals, but that doesn't do anything to help citizens. You know, the ones that pay for benefits for the illegals? Don't they have a right to work and eat too?

Do you know that illegal immigrants increase crime rates??
Do you know that illegal immigrants steal US jobs??
Do you know that illegal immigrants increase taxes for American citizens??
Do you know that illegal immigrants disrespect American citizens and American laws??
Do you know that illegal immigrants decrease house property values??
Do you know that illegal immigrants would rather demand amnesty than EARN citizenship like the millions of other immigrants did when they came to the US??
Do you know that illegal immigrants refuse to speak English??
Do you know that illegal immigrants overplay the race card??
Add all those amounts up and it is greater than what illegals bring into the US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nationally 50.1% of illegal immigrants are drawing money from welfare programs. 20% of citizens are drawing money from welfare programs.
In Arizona the percentage is worse its 50.9% and 19.5% for citizens. ( California is even worse but Arizona is 2nd )
I am very very skeptical that this was considered in that report. you are talking about ( but that have no link to and I cant find it on CNNs page anywhere )

They bring in $29 million but waste $1,900 million? Clearly you need a lesson in math. They are running a $1,871 million deficit. In one state.
In any case, the $29 million could just as easily be paid by legal residents. All it takes is for employers to pay a living wage to legal workers. The legal workers spend money in the USA and do not send money abroad. The tax take (state and federal) goes up. So the governments can afford to reduce tax rates. Everyone pays the same as before but there is more money in the economy. Legal residents win because they have jobs and are contributing to the tax base. Businesses win because the increased economic activity means they sell more. The government wins because it gets the tax it needs without unduly burdening anyone.
The solution to thhis mess is really very simple if we would only look at it beyond the short-term.
