Getting $$$$$$ in welfare & paying "0" taxes, would you be an illegal?

I sure would. I would be getting more as an illegal than a legal citizen and I wouldn't be getting ripped off!

At present, these are the costs we already pay for illegal alien migrants:

1. Up to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year.

i'm not sure how to answer the question, but those are all amazing reasons to get the illegals out of here and to force them to apply for legal immigration.

We need to find out where the sign up sheet for becoming an illegal is... haha. This is ridiculous isn't it? I think you've answered the question for us all. The answer is YES being an illegal sure does have its benifits. The tyrants in DC are so braindead they are just bending over and letting the illegals give it to us up the... you know where.

No, of course not.

This is a racist "question", BTW.

we spend it because Congress approves it! dont you understand that this whole thing is a double edged sword. when they get here, we tell them "oh, you can have this and you can qualify for this and that." if you are so mad about them getting benefits-the ones who you should be fighting is CONGRESS! they pass the laws into existence. if the government is complaining about them(by expressing statistics as you have) then the GOVERNMENT is the one who can ultimately do something about it. STOP GIVING THEM WHAT THEY WANT AND A MAJORITY WILL NOT COME. now you may be surprised to know that i am Hispanic. I am from puerto rico. yes, I am an american. Puerto rico is a U.S. territory and all puerto rican are citizens and are just as american as BOBY LEE from georgia and TITO from chicago. thats not my point. I work hard everyday and pay my tax bill. I believe they should immigrant the legal way. but why should they when we have made it so easy for them? answer that? it's not just an illegal immigration problem, its a problem that we, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA have aided and abbeded. and immigrants are not just coming from mexico(some of you are shocked about that) because everytime you hear a discussion about illegals all you see is mexicans jumping a fence. that's part of the media's racial profiling. just like when they talk about food stamps and welfare who do you see on tv? blacks and hispanics? you dont see "SARA" or "TOMMY". you understand what i'm saying. changes need to be made,yes, but it must start with our own governement first.

17) except income tax collected by hard working illegals out paces your 2.6 trillion eighty fold.. what you want to do is first create jobs and then open the borders to fill those jobs with relatives of illegals so the money is spent in the united states instead of shipped across borders. LOOK IT UP the cost to American taxpayers is to lazy American welfare cheats!!!!!!!!!!
