Everytime an illegal alien is paid under the table and no taxes are deducted? These same people drive on our highways - yet don't pay highway taxes. They fill up our helathcare facilities - and increase everyone's insurance premiums, their children fill up our schools and are granted citizenship yet their parents aren't paying taxes for these children's schooling, they take up the low paying jobs that displace so many of our blue collar workers. Most of this money is spent to survive and often the rest is sent to Mexico to support a huge family that is destitute.

If 2,200,000 illegals are in CA and are earning an average of $12,000 a year that is:

$26,400,000,000 Dollars not being taxed.

Considering the taxes paid on salary equal about 30% thats:

$7,920,000,000

About 8 BILLION dollars in lost taxes flushed to Mexico every year - just in California! That's probably a very conservative estimate the real figure is probably easily double that.

America's quality of life has gone down primarily due to illegal immigration. Nothing else has so burdened our economy and made the average Californian require two jobs just to pay his mortgage, be unable to afford health insurance and watch as the neighborhoods become filled with crack house blocks where crime is rampant.

It's easy for folks in the NE to ignore the issue and be all supportive of the free ride.

Let's send millions of US citizens down to Mexico and see how they are treated by the locals and the government? Let's demand they let us in let us have automatic citizenship!

One sees how PREPOSTEROUS the whole issue is.

Charity is sometimes misguided. It's time to tighten down the borders and keep track of those illegally in our country.
