The cost they put on our services for outstrip any benefits from their consumerism.

The burden they place on our services may exceed the taxes they pay, but they provide an enormous financial benefit that is very difficult to quantify.

For example . . . I would make the case that real estate values in this country would collapse if all of our illegal aliens were to disappear tomorrow.

There is always going to be parts of the economy that benefit from anything illegal i.e. if we solved the illegal drug trade tomorrow the drug therapy business would be devastated.There’s a reason employers want cheap labor but at what price. They get cheap labor and we get to pay for medical benefits and a host of other welfare services. The same argument can be made for real estate.

Real estate values in this country would NOT collapse if every illegal left tomorrow. They DO NOT give this country any financial benefit. Anyone who can read that report and still make excuses and try to say we gain more than we lose with these illegal scum bags, and that is what they are: Law breaking scum bags , is beyond hope. Your brain,sir, is completely gone.
