You wouldn't know accurate if it hit you in the face.

The numbers you all spew actually do harm to the very cause you wish to bring front and center, because of their absolute transparency, and their total lack of balance.

Is there a cost to illegal aliens?

Absolutely.

Are your numbers balanced?

Absolutely not.

There are offsetting numbers that are never brought out because all you want to do is reel in the dupes that can't (or won't) see through your faulty thinking.

Like it or not, illegal aliens do add to the economy, this does not make their being here right, but it does not take away from the glaring fact that we save billions of dollars yearly in the cost of the goods delivered to consumers via the lower wages paid to them, or that Federal coffers have billions of dollars in surplus income tax and social security dollars paid in by these illegal aliens, that they will never recover.

You want to bring attention to your cause?

Stop assuming that the majority of the readers are mindless morons who can't figure out what's wrong with your "studies".

Proof is in the numbers, Luis.

Do you have any substantiating your claim? Because without them your side of the debate is based purely upon emotion and no substance.

There are reasons EVERY state which is inundated with Illegaliens are having serious budget problems. There are reasons hospitals that are forced to "serve" Illegaliens are having to declare bankruptcy.

Argue your point with facts and figures, then we'll have a serious exchange. Okay?

And, BTW, $40 billion annually divided by the low estimate of 8 million equals a whopping $5000 EACH. So your $8/hr Illegalien worker "saving the economy" actually costs abt $10.50/hr. if EVERY ONE of the 8 million work. IF THEY WORK.

Isn't it interesting that when it's your ox being gored, (in this case your cheerleading for illegals) all of a sudden the hue and cry is for a "balanced" viewpoint on this issue when other posts you've made that wax so eloquently about their plight HAVE NEVER ONCE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE OF WHAT THESE ILLEGALS ARE COSTING THIS COUNTRY!.....not just in the billions of dollars expended but the human toll due to robberies, murders, etc. being committed by these people. Since the new code words for this ongoing debate are now "transparency and balance", I suggest you practice what you preach.

Sorry, some of your other observations don't have much credibility either.....namely the nonsense about all the "savings" we consumers get from the low wages paid to these people. I'm in area inumdated with illegal workers and I know for fact that home prices have not decreased, food prices in restaurants have not decreased as well as other services that utilize illegal labor. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that all the savings created by deleting American workers and hiring illegals is going RIGHT INTO THE POCKETS OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS and most assuredly not being passed on to the consumers....how much more elemental to I have be to get this point made?

Also, as far as the question of "bringing attention to my cause" is concerned, I feel more and more confident all the time when I see vain attempts such as yours to put a positive spin on this absurd notion that this unrestrained invasion is somehow beneficial for our country. I'm totally convinced that if my side prevails we'll have at least some chance of retaining our constitutional republic.....should you and your ilk triumph then no doubt we'll be living in a banana republic and I'll be seeing you in the bread lines.
