You beat me to it but it needs repeating - IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY! AT THE EXPENSE OF THEIR TAX DOLLARS. NOT MINE!

They pay taxes. They pay a larger percentage of their incomes in taxes than you do.

Explain to me exactly how an illegal immigrant who is paid in cash and has no social security number can pay taxes. They buy everything at yard sales, so they don't even pay their fair share of sales tax.

That's a load of crap. Part of the reason that a lot of illegals can undercut everyone else in lawn service and construction is that they take cash and then don't report it.

No, they don't. Most, who are on real payrolls, only pay social security, and many of those apply for the EIC and actually get money back (zero taxes paid and a check in the mail for a couple thousand of OUR dollars), and the rest are working under the table. They still send their kids to our schools, go to our emergency rooms for medical care, and collect as many social services are there are out there.

My neighbor is a teacher and she said that almost 30% of her classes are comprised of children who are here illegally. 30% just think of the drain on our education dollar!

They consume services in far greater dollar amounts than the taxes they contribute. Don't play the damn percentage game either. If they make under $40,000 per year, they aren't paying any net income taxes. It is income taxes and property taxes that provide the general fund revenues from which education is funded.

BTW, while I was a California resident, I paid the max rate for state income tax AND 28% federal AND max rate for all social security and related taxes. My overall tax rate was far higher than any illegal alien and the total taxes confiscated are orders of magnitude more than they even earned in gross income.

This has to be one of the most jaw-dropping, stupid statements EVER posted on this forum.
