Democrats are so crazy they believe America must pander to ILLEGAL immigrants to get votes from LEGAL Hispanic immigrants.

They are wrong.

Illegal immigrants are an enormous drain on schools, hospitals, jails, cops, etc.

Even setting that aside, the rule of law no longer pertains if 12 million illegals wander around.

Only a moron would think that illegals are a drain on the economy.


Myth #3: They drain the system

Undocumented immigrants do not qualify for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and most other public benefits. Most of these programs require proof of legal immigration status and under the 1996 welfare law, even legal immigrants cannot receive these benefits until they have been in the United States for more than five years
Non-citizen immigrant adults and children are about 25% less likely to be signed up for Medicaid than their poor native-born equivalents and are also 37% less likely to receive food stamps, according to a 2013 study by the Cato Institute

Citizen children of illegal immigrants -- often derogatorily referred to as "anchor babies" -- do qualify for social benefits. Also, undocumented immigrants are eligible for schooling and emergency medical care. Currently, the average unlawful immigrant household costs taxpayers $14,387 per household, according to a recent report by The Heritage Foundation. But in its 2013 "Immigration Myths and Facts" report, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce says most economists see providing these benefits as an investment for the future, when these children become workers and taxpayers

A CBO report on the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 concluded that a path to legalization for immigrants would increase federal revenues by $48 billion. Such a plan would see $23 billion in increased costs from the use of public services, but ultimately, it would produce a surplus of $25 billion for government coffers, CBO said.

Over 70 percent of these folks are on some form of welfare.

Elkindope doesn't understand the admixture of legal and illegal immigrants.

It is undeniably true that illegal immigrants are a tremendous drain on hospitals, schools, prisons, and so on.

But setting all that aside, America needs to return to being subject to the rule of law.

With 12 million illegals in 110 sanctuary towns, we have anarchy.

Every day, Americans are far more at risk from illegal immigrant crime than they ever will be, statistically, from terrorists.

Only a moron would think that illegals are a drain on the economy.

An illegal family of 5 in California cost tax payers over 100K a year, 70K is that in just public school costs.
