I know someone who predicted this four years ago during the housing boom. He said amnesty was all about getting them on the tax rolls in order to keep the S.S. Ponzi scheme going. Don’t know what the employment situation is for the illegals right now, but as usual, the gov’t is probably behind the times. More likely that they’d be a net cost. Some estimates are that they ALWAYS have been a net cost, but I’ll withhold that judgement.
