It’s the most important issue for me too. Tancredo has my support 100%.

On Taxes:
“A growing chorus of economists and experts argue, and I agree, that the current income tax system is complex and unfair and should be replaced by a flat tax or national sales tax. Simplifying the process would dramatically reduce the costs of compliance, make American companies more competitive, and put billions back into the economy by encouraging investment.”
-Tom Tancredo … Tancredo also spoke at the FairTax rally Tuesday, May 15, 2007 where he declared his support for the FairTax

Well it's the 20+ million illegals not 12 million. Plus all their children that are clogging up the schools and breaking our Health care system.

Tancredo is right, illegal immigration is affecting all the other issues, taxation, health, schools. All would be fixed if we had a wall and enforcement against employers.

Rudy will give them a biometric ID card when they get here, and that’s about it.

It has become the biggest issue here in our town too. The Mayor and City Council refuse to do anything at all about the illegals and in fact protects them and the employers (developers) who hire them. Three candidates are running against illegal immigration and have a chance to win one or two seats, but we need all three. The pro-illegal opposition is strong and laden with cash. YUK!

The High Cost of Cheap Labor - Illegal Immigration and the Federal Budget (2004 Study)

Yes, The Unpleasant FACTS about Cheap Labor ARE

>>Both studies found that immigrants used government services at a greater rate than native-born residents did. The New Jersey study found, for instance, that the typical immigrant family received about $4,044 annually in government services, about 11 percent higher than the average native-born family. At the same time, immigrant households paid about 8 percent less in taxes. The net result was that “the average native household generated an annual fiscal surplus of $232” to government, while “the typical foreign household was a net burden of $1,484.” The gap was even wider in California, where immigrant households produced a net deficit of $3,463 each, because so much of that state’s recent immigration had been in the form of low-wage, low-skill workers.

Though the study did not distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants, it did break down foreign-born households by the regions of the world from which they had come. In both states, the study found the steepest deficit in Latin American households, which in New Jersey consumed 26 percent more in government expenditures than the average native-born family, but paid 38 percent less in taxes. By contrast, immigrant households in New Jersey that hailed from Europe or Canada actually consumed, on average, less in government services than the typical native-born family, and paid nearly as much in taxes.<<
