As one citizen said to me, why should we care when the problem does not touch us directly?
Oh but it does. 65% of all illegals are on public assistance. We directly pay taxes to subsidize that cheap labor. Less than 6% pay any taxes into the coffers. Our hospitals are closing, ditto clinics because they can't afford to treat all the illegals for free. They cost us dearly...each and every one of us. And only 2% actually pick those strawberries. They're displacing American workers at the rate of 730,000 per year...that's citizens unemployed because business is hiring illegal, under the table laborers.

I've been paying $1200 a month health care premiums in Colorado so they can provide free health care to illegal immigrants. And, in Colorado, most immigrants do not pay any taxes -- no federal, no state, no nothing.
