It's a fairly common question to ask whether illegal aliens drain money from the US or if they are contributing to our productivity. Some folks say that they pay their fair share of taxes. Other folks say they use up vast resources at hospital emergency rooms (since they don't have health care).

This is an illegal alien that just cost the taxpayers $300,000. Do you think he paid that much in taxes?

Illegal aliens hurt the country. In many ways. Can we afford to get rid of them? I say we can't afford not to.

From the article: “The settlement is with the town of Newtown and the Heritage Preservation Trust of Newtown as well as Campbell Quality Painting, the company that employed Tenecela.”

Now, I’m not sure about the balance of who pays what, and I’m not a lawyer, but if the illegals were employed by Campbell Quality Painting without the town’s knowledge it should be able to prosecute and fine that company for breaking the law with its hiring practices.
