illegals cost us 1/2 trillion a year, 1000's of lives

so why not force them to leave? agribiz has had things all their way for WAY too long. So produce goes up $10 a week (until machinery, made by US citizens and run by US citizens) take over the fruit picking. so what?

Way to show your ignorance. A half trillion dollars my damn ass. Care to source that number so I can rip it to shreds. Here is the deal,

There are many ways to debate immigration, but when it comes to economics, there isn’t much of a debate at all. Nearly all economists, of all political persuasions, agree that immigrants — those here legally or not — benefit the overall economy. “That is not controversial,” Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, told me. Shierholz also said that “there is a consensus that, on average, the incomes of families in this country are increased by a small, but clearly positive amount, because of immigration.”

Do Illegal Immigrants Actually Hurt the U.S. Economy?

Notice the illegal immigrant in the linked article pays the IRS around $1400 a year to have a taxpayer ID. I am willing to bet half the damn morons that bitch about illegal immigrants don't pay that much in federal taxes, like you.
