"
If the taxpayers found out the Illegal's qualify for Food Stamps and Medical assistance, they would demand reform. And people wonder why the Social Security funds are depleted? It's shocking!"

Ay caramba.
Apologists for illegal immigration (usually leaders of the two dominant political parties) tell you that foreigners are needed to do the work that lazy Americans will not do.
Well, the American worker is not lazy -- and he is not stupid. The reason low-paying jobs go wanting is that the pay is too low. Am I going too fast for the defenseless-borders crowd?
The more illegals that flood in, the more low-paying jobs there will be because employers will be less inclined to offer good wages. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
If there were no illegal immigrants, every job would pay what it would be worth. Prices of some items would increase, but at least then you would know the real cost of a carrot, potato or onion without the de facto subsidization of illegal labor.
Every taxpayer pays for the hidden costs of these illegals so agribusiness and other labor-intensive conglomerates do not have to offer fair wages.
But every once in a while you get a glimpse of the high costs of low-priced produce. Like maybe 21 years' worth of education costs for up to 900,000 foreigners annually. And counting.
