Part of me says this is the Crux of the immigration debate. The reason why our Politicians are so soft on it...or, a good part of the reason.
With the amount of national debt accumulating, they are going to need a heavy tax base in years to come to pay for it. Not saying this is true, but it has crossed my mind time and again when the "migration" debate sparks up....

The problem I see with immigration is that we are permitting the under and uneducated entry across our borders therefore these people will not be paying much in taxes. Probably not even enough to support the social services that the others are receiving.
Look at what has happened to our insurance for cars and medical care in the past 8 years. You and I insure our cars, most of them don't. The number of hit and runs has risen dramatically in areas that are heavily infected with these people in the past decade. The cost of an ambulance has gone up 30% in 7 years in my area.
Then when you add in the law enforcement and prison costs I know we are going further in debt because of illegal aliens.
You mention tax debr/national debt.
So are the immigrants being encouraged because they will pay into the tax structure?
Hmmm. Have to think on that one........not.
