But, but the Census department says they know just how many, it is 12 million. The government couldn't be wrong, could it?
Now, there is some evidence already that many of them are already returning to their home countries - and many others are not making the dangerous trip north to work, because the work has vanished.
But we were told by the open-borders bunch that it was unrealistic to even think about them ever going home. And that they love America and wanted to become Americans, and really were just "undocumented Americans."
Critics complain that illegal immigrants are a drain on government expenditures and create a downward spiral in low-skilled wages.
Most credible evidence suggests that isn't so. Millions of them work, pay their payroll taxes, pay local taxes through rents or property taxes, and contribute massively to the economy by spending their money on taxed consumer goods and services.
"Massively?" LOL. They don't make much in the first place, a huge percentage are "off the books," and they send a large percentage of what they do make back to their home countries. Pure propaganda.
The Mexican illegals send back over $20 billion a year to Mexico, which exceeds their revenue from oil sales.
Well you thought wrong. Mexico wants to turn Texas and California into Aztlan, then conquer what was the Louisiana Purchase in a period of 2 years. Pelosi, Murtha, Kerry and Reid already signed off on this. Where have you been?
