#1 Most illegals have extremely low income at or near minimum wage.
I could find some sources but I don’t need to. I can’t imagine the income of people picking fruits, wash dishes, clean hotel rooms, stand around home depots are high.

Usually, the first generation of immigrants from ANY part of the world do the lower end jobs. Italians, Irish, Chinese, you name it…they took lower end jobs just to make ends meet in this land of opportunity.

“Half of illegal children fail to graduate from HS.”
41 percent of all Mexicans between ages 16 and 19 in the city [of NY] have dropped out of school, according to census data.

This is for all Mexicans, legal and illegal. I am sure the dropout percentage of illegal only is higher.

So you exhaggerated. Your original post did not specify it was NYC only – and it stated a figure of 41%, not half.

Second I know a few illegal immigrants. And I can tell you they are the hardest working people I know. They are good, decent, people who work twice as hard as most American citizens that I know. Whether they have a degree or not.

The link to the study sited in the article is broken. You still need to provide a reference…

“How often you see illegals with one or two children walking beside them, one in a stroller, one in their arms, and one in the belly”
The children of illegal immigrants accounted for 8 percent of all babies, even though those immigrants are about 4 percent of the adult population.

You fail to mention why babies are a bad thing. And once you do come up with a reason, you need to tell the Catholic Church.

I see your point. We should ban all overweight people from the country. Let’s start by looking through YOUR family tree.

Seriously, posts like this make me want to puke.

As a coincidence, I’ve been tracing back my family tree this year. Several branches of that tree came across the Atlantic in the early 1600s. They came to a place that did not give them permission to come – they had no visas and the Indian natives fought them tremendously – several of my relatives were killed or injured by Indians. Yet we now sit here full of pomp and prejudice spewing half truths or shaded truths to justify keeping others out.
