Not deporting illegal immigrants will cause taxes to be raised on the middle class. Democrat candidates don't tell you their amnesty plan is expected to cost around $2.5 trillion (congressional testimony)
Not deporting them will also increase crime against Americans. Illegal immigrants create a significant portion of crime in America even while they are only 10% of the population.
Around 27 percent of all federal prisoners are criminal aliens. http://www.gao.gov/htext/d05337r.html ( U.S. government report on a U.S. government website )

Illegal immigrants kill 9,000 Americans yearly.
Each year illegal immigrants kill three times more people than all of the people that died on 9/11. And three times times the number of soldiers that died in Iraq.
"Iowa’s United States Congressman Steve King told a crowd in Des Moines in June, “Illegal [immigrants] cause the death of 25 American citizens every day…13 by drunken driving and 12 by stabbings or gun fire.” http://www.sierratimes.com/06/08/14/Frosty_.htm

"• In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500) target illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) are for illegal aliens.
• A confidential California Department of Justice study reported in 1995 that 60 percent of the 20,000-strong 18th Street Gang in southern California is illegal; police officers say the proportion is actually much greater. The bloody gang collaborates with the Mexican Mafia, the dominant force in California prisons, on complex drug-distribution schemes, extortion, and drive-by assassinations, and commits an assault or robbery every day in L.A. County. The gang has grown dramatically over the last two decades by recruiting recently arrived youngsters, most of them illegal, from Central America and Mexico."

- Illegal [immigrants] sentenced in federal courts were more likely than legal aliens or U.S. citizens to have at least one prior conviction resulting in a sentence of at least 60 days. (Read more: Illegal Aliens in Federal, State, and Local Criminal Justice Systems Urban Institute)
- In an April 2005 study, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that the number of criminal aliens incarcerated in federal facilities increased from about 42,000 at the end of calendar year 2001 to about 49,000 at the end of calendar year 2004– a 15 percent increase.
- GAO estimated the federal cost of incarcerating criminal aliens totaled approximately $5.8 billion for calendar years 2001 through 2004.
-- In a population sample study of 55,322 illegal immigrants completed in May 2005, GAO found that the aliens studied had been arrested approximately 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien.
