FLU-
You are all over the map here. Nobody has said that there aren’t hard-working illegals here…they are just going about it the unlawful way. We can’t call them law-abiding because they broke the law to cut in line and live here- a slap in the face to all those that are still standing in line to do it the lawful way. You also need to consider that a boatload of the money that they make is NOT spent here in the US, but rather sent/wired south of the border. Who are the real beneficiaries? The businesses and the illegals (and their families in Mexico).
Most illegals don’t pay taxes; yet they get free education, schooling, health care, and other services from us legal taxpayers. I pay over $6000 per year for health care alone…and the service is crap because the system is over-stressed from all the illegal freeloaders. Ever have a medical emergency lately? Prepare to sit and wait a few hours in the emergency room and pay through the nose when your done. Just feel proud knowing that a good portion of your $4300 dollar emergency room bill is helping to pay for all the baby deliveries of illegals – who get it free of charge, of course.
