Destroying our culture, filling our prisons, dividing us, not wanting to be part of the melting pot, claiming we stole this land, cutting in line ahead of those who are following the law, undercutting wages, overcrowding and wrecking our schools, causing more pollution, getting in our faces by marching in the streets with their Mexican flags, and making it impossible to drive on our freeways. Yep, I’d say they are a net negative.

"First, Rector found that people without high school degrees, like most everybody else, pay a lot in taxes — an annual average of $9,689 per household. That number includes $2,509 in Social Security tax, as well as $1,486 in state and local sales taxes, $1,474 in federal income tax, $1,371 in property tax, and smaller amounts in all sorts of other levies."

And when half or more of their income is off the books...?

The government has made a lot of promises to a lot of people, and it should keep its word.

Pardon me, but I thought the role of governmnet was to uphold the constitution, collect legal taxes, maintain a standing Army and Navy, make laws and regulate interstate commerce. Where does the idea of making promises, much less keeping these promises, come into the above equation?

From 1990 to 2004, Hispanics accounted for 92 percent of the increase in poor people. Only 53 percent of Hispanics earn high school diplomas, the lowest among American ethnic groups. Half of all children born to Hispanic-Americans in 2005 were born out of wedlock — a reliable predictor of social pathologies.

Even with the free education, hispanics do not do well in school and they are out doing everyone else in teenage pregnancy. Now we will have generation upon generation of welfare recipients.

It seems to me that how much tax revenue are generated by an individual is not really included in this. Let's say Pedro the carpenter gets 1000 dollars for a job and pays 200.00 taxes. He then gives 800 dollars to Jose the plumber who pays 160 taxes who gives 640 dollars to..etc..etc.

Everyone who has an open mind on the issue of illegals comprehends that allowing them to stay here is costing American taxpayers BILLIONS annually...everyone except GWB, RINO’s, ‘Rats & companies who are profiting from employing illegals at taxpayers’ expense!

[traviskicks]

why don’t we attack the government benefits, instead of immigration?
