The burden they place on our services may exceed the taxes they pay, but they provide an enormous financial benefit that is very difficult to quantify. For example . . . I would make the case that real estate values in this country would collapse if all of our illegal aliens were to disappear tomorrow.

Real estate values in this country would NOT collapse if every illegal left tomorrow. They DO NOT give this country any financial benefit. Anyone who can read that report and still make excuses and try to say we gain more than we lose with these illegal scum bags, and that is what they are: Law breaking scum bags , is beyond hope. Your brain,sir, is completely gone.

You've got inner-city areas of this country that would be nearly 100% de-populated without a massive flow of immigrants -- legal and illegal -- into them. This is the real reason why most big cities have some form of "sanctuary city" policy in place these days.

I'm making no excuses for anyone at all -- I'm simply pointing out the underlying economic reality that's driving this whole issue. I'm totally in favor of putting an end to all illegal immigration, no matter what it takes.

With that in mind, I'll overlook your last comment.
