"Using data from the Census Bureau's current population survey, Steven Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, an advocacy group in Washington that favors more limits on immigration, estimated that 3.8 million households headed by illegal immigrants generated $6.4 billion in Social Security taxes in 2002."
Camarota is no illegal alien apologist, he's quite the opposite. Until the day that we come to grips with the fact that the Federal government benefits financially from illegal aliens, we will not begin to solve this problem.
$6.4 billion dollars pumped yearly into the Federal coffers by illegal aliens who will not file to get their money back buys a whole lot of bilingual education, as well as a lot of looking-the-other-way from politicians.
It's like anything else...just follow the money.
Another strawman. Illegal aliens pull far more back out of Fed Coffers BWO welfare programs than they put in.

We're smarter than that Luis, I'm sure you are too. Social Security taxes won't buy any bilingual education. SS taxes can only be used to pay SS benefits or administer the SS program.
