I think, IMHO, that they need illegal immigration to help pay for all those liberally inspired entitlements. Its no secret European governments need the massive influx of immigration they have to pay for socialist inspired government benefits.

If thats the case, they are hiding a budget problem.

Illegal immigrants vote Democratic because the Democrats promise more free money. If the Republicans get into a bidding war with the Dems over illegal immigrants, they will lose. Both the illegals and their own base.

Illegal immigrants pay for nothing.

Illegal immigrants are a net loss to the U.S. Taxpayers of $27 to $72 billion dollars annually depending who you ask and the various factors they use to make their calculations.

According to the C.I.S. an illegal immigrant will be a net average loss of $55,000 dollars over their lifetime and the Libertarian, CATO institute pegs it at around $89,000, I believe.

The government's not able to hide anything, really. The federal government's portion of the 'National Debt' is over $6 trillion dollars and add another $28 trillion for the rest of the total debt we're in as a Nation.
