A new report from Numbers USA, which advocates for limits on immigration into the United States, says each American paid $330 last year to provide government services for illegal aliens. Numbers USA staffer Chad MacDonald said if an amnesty plan becomes law, allowing illegals from coast-to-coast to suddenly establish citizenship, their retirement program will set U.S. taxpayers back an estimated $2.6 trillion.

"Last year there were 1.8 million. We had 1.1 million green cards issued last year. That's hard to understand when there are nearly 25 million Americans who are unemployed," MacDonald said. He said another expense hits taxpayers in the number of illegal aliens who are in prison. "I can't speak to the situation in every state, but I know that in California, about 30 percent of the inmate population is illegal," MacDonald said.
Most of the people in this country are going to be living like most of the people in Mexico anyways. Might as well let them come over. What difference does it make, at this point?

Stupid argument....
How would England handle 25 million undocumented people living there and using all your socialized services, going to your schools, clogging your hospital emergency rooms etc? Oh and what if 5% were criminal in nature?
Yes, a lot of illegals work hard and are much like what you say you are like…..but millions are not….
Also, I and 250 plus million were born here thank you very much...lol

Not only did you people come to America uninvited, but you committed genocide on my ancestors then took the biggest war criminal of the bunch and put his face on every $20 dollar bill... And yet I'm okay with immigrants coming to the USA, even illegal ones.

Let me get this straight. Any money that is spent on immigrants is done so by law. That means to anyone with a "brain" and not a rock in their head that legislation was passed by American politicians who wrote legislation that favors the medical hospitals, doctors and the pharmaceutical companies that get paid for services rendered to the immigrants.
The system of corrupt services that concerns you is legislated in the manner that it is by design and by American politicians, so let's get that out there from the start.
Blaming the immigrants for services which they qualify for and which are being promoted by Americans is to ignore the real cause of the problem you discuss. These immigrants did not steal the services offered nor did they have anything to do in getting the legislation passed.
Immigrants do not go around creating the laws nor do they have any say so in the process. Corrupt American politicians in collusion with big business make these laws to allow Americans to get rich while angering most Americans with what services are provided to immigrants while excluding Americans. Once again this is done by design to exclude Americans.
The billions of tax dollars spent on immigrants is legislated by law and if you or anyone has a problem with immigrants accepting benefits which some American politician has helped to promote and pass, that is where I would have you put your anger and focus on.
Blaming the immigrants for the billions in funds being spent is to deny the truth of the matter and if you're the type that would rather hate some group for getting something you cant get, then I would encourage you to get some spine and begin looking at your Lilly white corrupt politicians that made it possible for immigrants to get benefits without being a citizen.
Either give blame where blame is due or else shut the hell up with your bigoted remarks about all the money that you seem to think was "Stolen" or robbed from needful Americans like yourself. Yeah right, a bigot is a bigot and no amount of truth is going to get a bigot to address the real source of the problem which is the Lilly white corrupt politician that you voted for.
No one needs your bigotry about immigrants causing economic woes because in reality, the cause is not the immigrants. It is the politicians that represent Americans that are to blame and to ignore that fact says that you are a just a bigoted liar that could care less about the truth as long as you have some Mexican to hate that makes you feel better about yourself.
I for one hope you begin blaming the cause of this problem and not those immigrants that merely came here to better themselves and their families. Any money that gets spent on these immigrants is due in part because of American politicians and not the immigrants. Got it? I hope so.
Thanks for the posting

to be totally honest with you, i'd rather spend my money on people so desperate to be here that they're willing to break the law
than spend my money on lazy, worthless, total pieces of crap that have inherited the right to be here.
