...But there have also been costs, and parts of America have borne more than have others. The border states in particular have experienced more crime and social disruption, as well as the cost to local taxpayers of "free" health care and education for illegal immigrants. To the extent they work and pay rent, illegals do pay for those government services. But we don't dismiss lightly the anxiety that many Americans feel at this rapid pace of demographic change. Well meaning politicians, such as Arizona Senator Jon Kyl, who feel obliged to respond to that anxiety in this election year are not part of the nativist brigades...

Ten mexicans paying rent for one house will never pay for the huge costs to our country for medical and welfare benefits to these INVADERS. I just don't understand how they can say all this without putting: /Sarcasm...

The WSJ speaks for people who can reap the profits of cheap labor but wall themselves off from the consequences that the rest of us have to bear.

A cheap labor world is great for people who live off of returns from capital. Lousy for people who live on paychecks.

Exactly. The reason they are living ten to a room is because they are sending back approximately $17 billion a year to Mexico, eclipsing the revenues of oil sales to the US and making illegal immigrants in the US the biggest source of foreign revenue. The more illegal immigrants in the US, the greater the benefit to Mexico. Fox has no incentive to stop the flow, but rather, a reason to increase the flood of illegal immigrants.
