... make sense?
A typical American can hardly earn enough to pay for his/her family's healthcare, public education for the kids, and social security for retirement.
Doesn't adding 15 million illegals just make the situation even worse?

Stuart... I beg of you to use your intelligence to show me the flaws of my post. Please help me. I know you can.
Here is your chance to show us how bright you are and how I am so wrong. Don't disappoint us.

Just who is this person that doesn't pay their share of taxes?
If we got rid of the people who represent us that don't do a damned thing for 6-50 years, and elected new people that we told we'd kick out if they didn't improve things, they'd get better.
Taxes are not the solution. More laws aren't the solution. Enforcement of the present law is. Health care isn't the problem, unethical lawyers suing doctors is. If the NEA and public education had to equal the private schools, education would rebound, but we don't make them answer for their ignorances. Social security is a government program that was never intended to be the sole force of retirement. But our Congress has robbed it blind and we let them retire as fat-cats while we don't get anything from the 50+ years we pay into it.
Wake up. Government isn't the answer, it's the problem.

15 million more people sharing the pie would be a disaster if the pie stayed the same size.
But if they add enough to the economy and tax revenues to balance out what they take out, then no harm.
And if they add more to the economy and tax revenues than they take out, then they improve the situation.
Which is the bigger economic problem? The 15 million who want to work, or the millions who are approaching retirement age and will soon be expecting those Social Security benefits that the government has been promising them? (And not that I'm blaming them - the retirees - in any way. . . . They held up their share of the deal the government offered. But the government hasn't planned properly to hold up its end of the deal.)

Your question is based on flawed facts and theory. That means you have typed a bunch of words, strung them out to look like some sentences, and added random punctuation in an attempt to make it look like you had an actual question for us.
Tell you what - do a search on "facts" and see if some of those would look a little better in your question, k? K.
***** EDIT ***** Okay. I generally don't stoop to the level of morons, but I'm happy to accomodate you.
You wrote: "...An Average American Doesn't Pay His Share of Taxes..." Each taxpaying American is required to pay the share that is outlined by the Internal Revenue Service. You are incorrect.
You wrote: "...But, Dems Want 15 Mil. Unskilled Illegals..." You're pulling random numbers and generalizations out of the air. What 'Dems' want is anything BUT '15 Mil. Unskilled Illegals'. What Democrats want is the work that America needs to get accomplished to be done. Frankly, if someone is willing to do work that you aren't, I'm okay with that person doing it.
You wrote: "...A typical American can hardly earn enough to pay for his/her family's healthcare, public education for the kids, and social security for retirement..." That is utter hogwash. Perhaps in your trailer park there are folks who are having difficulty making ends meet, but 'typical Americans' are doing just fine, thank you.
I stand by my original answer: your question is based on flawed facts and theory. I urge you to open a newspaper or watch the news. Learning about the world around you might be enlightening.

sure does!!
People argue the point that Illegals do the jobs Americans think they are too good to do. I disagree. It's just that 99% of Americans can't support their families on minimum wage. They have to PAY for health care, and very few get food stamps, and have higher rent or interest on mortgage.They can't afford such low-paying jobs!! Illegals come here tax free and receive the benefits deserving Americans need but can't get for one ridiculous reason or another. Illegals get cheap housing, food stamps and medicaid, they can afford min. wage.

But many of these illegals pay taxes, and don't receive any of the benefits, wouldn't that be a good thing?

Doesn't matter if Dems do or do not want them. The illegals aren't going anywhere. They are on American soil... to stay.

Do you SERIOUSLY think your elected officials are trying to look out for our best interests? They're looking out for themselves only, even when they make decisions to benefit big business.
