"Just make them legal and and we reap the tax benefits."
I was thinking about this tonight. I believe most of our future, instant citizens won't be earning enough to pay. As a matter of fact they'll probably get money back. Not to mention still getting welfare, healthcare and housing assistance.
You do know that in less than 4 years we are going to see the largest exodus from the workforce in our history? When the boomers retire the producer/non-producer pyramid will invert for the first time. If you think the AARP is militant now you ain't seen nothing yet. We had damn well be thinking about some type of tax base since our "legal population" has not reproduced enough to absorb this massive influx of new retirees.
