Illegals have sent 4 billion back to Mexico to their families this past year, so things can't be too bad for the workers

Well let's do the math. 4 billion divided by 8 million is $500 per person. That isn't a lot.

BTW, if you lived a 100 years ago would you be going nuts if a person sent some dollars to Dublin or Warsaw.

What kind of America are we building here, where the borders are wide open and anyone can come in and immediately go on welfare, health care and free schooling? I will never give up my fight to get these things done: Stop welfare and health care for illegals, deport those who aren't working and have criminal backgrounds, and most importantly, close the borders.

Enough is enough. It is obvious that this has to be done state by state by people who believe as I do. It is also obvious our President will never agree to encouraging any State to do this.

What percentage are workers that are sending their American made, often tax-free dollars, back to Mexico, and what percentage of them are sucking off the American teat via welfare "programs" and other government benefits and subsidies? Either way, we lose.
