Actually, that is totally incorrect.
But what about the immense strain on social services and money spent on welfare for these law breakers? The Congressional Budget Office in 2007 answered this question in the following manner: “Over the past two decades, most efforts to estimate the fiscal impact of immigration in the United States have concluded that, in aggregate and over the long term, tax revenues of all types generated by immigrants—both legal and unauthorized—exceed the cost of the services they use.” According to the New York Times, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration claims that undocumented workers have contributed close to 10% ($300 billion) of the Social Security Trust Fund.
There are few subjects that evoke as much emotion as immigration reform, especially since future laws could result in a path to citizenship for over 11 million illegal immigrants.When analyzed from…

I mean the reality goes so much deeper than those stats quoted. The birth rate would be negative if it weren't for immigrants, and mostly illegals. A country with a negative birth rate is one that is getting older by the minute and DYING. Look at Europe or Japan. I mean talk about inflation, get rid of the illegal immigrant work force and watch milk prices close to double. And I don't give a damn what you say, illegals do jobs Americans refuse to do.
I mean I have said it before. My son, at six foot four, worked the tomato fields with his buddy, even taller, while he was in High School. They were the only "citizens" on the workforce. And he made damn good money, cash, under the table. Of course, there was no overtime. I remember one day, it was raining, and my wife picked him up and bought him home. She called me balling her eyes out. He was covered in mud, absolutely exhausted, and she felt so bad for him. I just laughed and told her, "Hard work never hurt anybody".
Today that son is one of the most successful people I have ever known. Completing the course work for his Phd, he only needs to write and defend his dissertation. A world renowned expert in his field, delivering presentations on three continents, he is all of 27. The youngest project manager in the history of his top notch company and with a retirement account already three times the average retirees, he contributes his success to two things. Those tomato fields, and shop classes in High School. His brothers give him hell, claim he is the luckiest person in the world and his response is always the same, "I made my luck". I think he is right.
Now, contrast him with the youngest. He spent his summers as a lifeguard at the Country Club. Probably the highest IQ of all my six kids, but dumber than a box of rocks when it comes to decision making. Unfortunately, I see so much of myself in him, and remember Dad telling me that was smart as a whip, but had no damn common sense. Drove him to work this morning because his car is in the shop, mostly from his bad decision making. An hour of listening to how wonderful he is but eventually coming to the conclusion that his best option is to join the military, mostly so he can finally get some discipline. Damn but the tomato fields would have been so much more appropriate and timely.
