What a load. The pro illegal-alien crowd always confuses illegal immigration with legal immigration.
Look, businesses love to hire illegal aliens. They work hard and are cheap to hire. But there is a cost. Who do you think will bear the burden of making up the difference between what they get paid and their cost of living? The taxpayers, that's who. Not the damn greedy businessmen that pocket the extra profits and could care less about their country.
Another problem is the so called "anchor babies". Hell, even in socialist Canada they no longer allow automatic citizenship just because they are born in Canada.
Why don't you tell everyone on this forum why their children should have to compete with illegal aliens and their children for scholarships and jobs.
Another thing – they are bringing in hideous diseases that were virtually wiped out in this country. Did you know there is now TB in this country that cannot be treated at all with drugs? Doctors are having to go back to pre-drug medical procedures like removing lungs with these drug resistant diseases.

From the WSJ
“The number of people in the U.S. with MDR-TB rose 13.3% in 2004. The vast majority of those in the U.S. with forms of TB that are resistant to drug treatment are foreign-born. Of the 128 people who were diagnosed with MDR-TB in 2004, 97 were from countries such as Mexico, the Philippines and Vietnam.”
“In a survey of 25 tuberculosis laboratories on six continents, the Atlanta agency and the World Health Organization found that 2% of patient samples tested between 2000 and 2004 were resistant not only to the two most commonly used TB drugs, but also to most of the medications that are considered the second line of defense against the disease. This new form of the disease, known as extensively drug-resistant TB, or XDR-TB, is of great concern to public-health officials because it is virtually untreatable with available drugs, leaving patients to "preantibiotic" era methods, such as removal of part of the lung, said Kenneth Castro, assistant surgeon general and director of the CDC's division of tuberculosis elimination.”

You pro illegal-alien folks need to keep in mind that no matter how much money you have, it won’t help much when you are in an iron lung!
