If this is by you, you lost me right in the beginning with this:
We think of illegals we’ve met or known personally – they’ve seemed like decent people and cost us little in the grand scheme of things. On most days, the sky isn’t falling.
Illegal aliens are costing this country an extremely large amount, in the way of schools, and hospital costs at the ER's around the country. That doesn't even include those with fake SSN's that are filing taxes and getting earned income credit. There are many other ways are costs are being affected as well.
Oh BTW, you have to use HTML commands to bold and/or use italics.
Should say: There are many other ways our costs are being affected as well.
People need to read the entire article. The article describes the costs of illegals and legal immigration. Read it all and you will see that it actually supports the positions most of us FReepers have on the issue.
