Illegals would not probably not pay for these things, even if they were filing taxes - they usually don't make enough. Instead they would likely get the "Earned Income Tax Credit" - extract yet MORE welfare from the rest of us.

I don't want them here, but I must object to people acting like the money that illegals earn belongs to anybody but them. That's Democrat / Liberal / Commie type thinking, where the money they let us keep is an "expenditure." Speak, if you will, of illegal aliens pricing indigenous labor out of the market, of the crime and cultural issues, of emergency rooms closing, etc., but don't lay claim to the money they work very hard to earn.

No, just the share, at least, that the rest of us have our picked for every day of every week.

The issue of immigration has nothing to do with the traditional political split between Liberal versus Conservative. Its more a split between those Americans who still have a lick of common sense versus those who are completely nuts. You have support for endless immigration coming from the exteme ends of both the Liberal AND Conservative elites -- with the rest of us Americans stuck in the middle paying for it. On the Left, you have the Bleeding Heart Liberals who's hearts bleed for all "minorities" (so long as they don't have to actually live amongst them). ANd on the right, you have the Rightwing Coporate Conservatives who see millions of new immigrants as nothing more than cattle for them to feed on: a source of endless cheap labor and millions of new people to buy their crappy products. But the overwhelming majority of Americans of ALL political persuasions want to severely reduce our insane level of Mass Immigration, and to put a complete stop to illegal immigration. And we are going to do that. ANd any politician who gets in our way is going to pay dearly for that. Are you listening, Senator McCain and Senator Chappequiddik?
