The San Diego Union Tribune:

Illegal immigrants cost the taxpayers $20 billion every year.

34 percent of legal Mexican immigrants are on welfare right now.

25 percent of illegals are as well.

This number will rise with the amnesty.

Most illegals are willing to work hard, but as the numbers prove, millions are not.

"Most illegals are willing to work hard, but as the numbers prove, millions are not."

But it is the underlying premise of Bush's program that those without jobs will be denied entry. Or, if they are already here, the opportunity to stay.

Illegals on welfare don't qualify.

My first reaction to that is to take every last illegal on welfare and ship them back to Mexico! Why are illegals getting welfare?

The solution to that is simple: eliminate welfare.
