"Our assumption is that about three-quarters of other-than-legal immigrants pay payroll taxes," said Stephen C. Goss, Social Security's chief actuary, using the agency's term for illegal immigration."
This is complete BS! Goss must think there's only a couple of million illegals, not 11-20 million in the USA.

"...estimated that 3.8 million households headed by illegal immigrants generated $6.4 billion in Social Security taxes in 2002."
And how much tax funded benefits do these 3.8 million households get? I'll guess $76 billion, assuming 4 per household receiving $5,000 each. Plus what about the other 7.2 million illegals, according to government estimates? If you think illegals are paying their fair share for all the benefits they get, you're out of your mind! We pay over $5,000 per year for public school students in Calif. I think it's getting closer to $10,000.
That's pure BS... 80% of illegals don't pay ANY payroll taxes and the bulk of their money gets sent back to where they came from.

Exactly! You got it!
The detriments of illegals eclipse whatever positives they provide to our society.

Now for PETE'S SAKE! How do you THINK I feel on this???
:)
after seeing all the mexican flags at the protests this weekend, I support it more than ever before!!!
You go ahead and assume things, I don't.
You know what I support Jim?
I support the enforcement of existing laws, and not the idea of passing more laws as a substitute for actually doing something.
We don't need more laws, we need more law enforcement.
Support 100 percent
Does it have Pres. Bush's "not-an-amnesty" amnesty in it?
Luis....I agree...
Support.
But I think we should have a high voltage fence or, build a fence a mile from the border and add a moat on the southern side, complete with gators or crocs. (sarcasm)
I honestly feel that politicians become politicians to make money in the form of perks. They don't care about representing their constituents and, unless we threaten them, they'll never do anything for us.
I am in full support of this bill. Unqualifed support in fact.
