Like it or not they help the economy. These people after a day of cleaning toilets, working out in the fields, and working in searing heat putting roofs on buildings, go out and buy food, clothes, and other consumer goods.
Also major efforts should be made to help economies south of the border.
This argument won't be solved here. Perhaps it will at election time.
So they need all these hard working people more than we do, right. If they're such a valuable asset, why is Fox trying so hard to get rid of them?
Why are you determined to ignore the government's own data, which indicates illegals are a net drain on the economy?
You are correct but you completely miss the point.
While immigrants do contribute to the GDP they are absolutely overwhelming our domestic infrastructure, particularly in boarder states. The problem is sheer numbers.
Because of these number their prescence is absolutely drowning social safety nets and the public services sector of state and local governments.
Aggravating the situation is the fact that immigrants in these boarder states pay little of no property or income taxes which is the backbone of essential services financing.
Because of these numbers our society no longer has the ability to assimilate (indoctrinate) these masses and we are left with a mulicultral enviornment and all the baggage that accompanies this circumstance.
