Quote by: Cephus
We do not have jobs for immigrants, we have jobs for people who come to this country LEGALLY and become US citizens.
I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you asserting that illegal immigrants do not work in this country?

Quote:
The fact is, our entire health care system is on the verge of collapse because of all the illegals whose health care is paid for 100% by the American taxpayer. Our jails are bursting at the seams with illegals who are costing us BILLIONS every year. Our welfare system is paying illegals for NOT working and our schools are giving free education to illegal children.

So where, exactly, is this a win-win situation?
If everything in this quote is true, no it isn't. But I've certaintly read reports of studies saying that illegal immigrants pay more in taxes than they took from social services. Do you have any evidence for your stats here?

Immigration isn't the problem, whether legal or not, it's how we deal with it.
I agree very much with this.
