Illegal immigrants do pay various taxes any time money is withheld or a sales tax is paid.
While illegals pay small amounts of tax (some do) the services they receive
out weight the amounts, in 2002 illegals cost to the American taxpayer was
68 billion.
Illegals are a work force for the wealthy and subsidized by the American taxpayer, this increased burden is driving up medical cost to the point that
many lower income working poor americans cannot or ever will have health
care.
The idea is not where they come from it is the numbers the idea our country
can "support" the world in services doesnt fly in modern times, yes it would
be good if no kid went to bed hungry in the world, no one without a job,
however if we continue on the path we are on now then our standard of
living will also drop. The continue flow of people across our borders is hurting
the average joe American, the wealthy gain as do the wealthy in Mexico. :banghead:
