Illegals contribute about $5B to the US economy, they cost somewhere in excess of $70B in unpaid ER visits and prison costs alone. Not to mention they send back home about $20B that has no velocity of money in the US..ie it contributes to inflation.

And as Sowell pointed out today, these crops are subsidized surpluses with artificially supported prices. Realistically, there would be less inflation with out the illegals.

Totally wrong. If each of the 12 million illegals made just 1000 dollars each per year, that is 12 billion right there. Fact is, most of them avg. 1000 dollars or more per month.

If there are 12 million illegals, this works out to $1.33 per day per illegal. I don't think so. Even illegals will not work for $1.33 per day. If you give them the weekends off, we are talking $1.00 per day. They won't even work for that in Bangledesh or China.
