According to some estimates, there are as many as 30 million illegal aliens in the United States today. The vast majority of them pay absolutely no federal or state income taxes. And yet they seem more than happy to take advantage of the free social services and benefits offered to them. In fact, stories of how "good" life in America is just encourages more and more immigrants to come to the United States illegally.
But those who would break the law by entering the U.S. illegally also are the same kind of people who are serial criminals, join gangs, deal drugs, bring diseases and are economic parasites. So can the U.S. economy ever fully recover if we continue to carry tens of millions of illegal aliens on our backs? If Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress open the door for illegal aliens even further, will it create a social and economic nightmare that none of us would even dare to imagine?
With the U.S. economy already on the verge of complete and total collapse, can we afford to continue to allow the problem citizens of other nations to pour into ours? Already, drug violence has turned many areas of northern Mexico into absolute war zones. Juarez, Mexico (which is just across the U.S. border) has become the murder capital of the western hemisphere. Much of that violence has begun to spill over into areas of the southwestern United States.
Is this how we want to live?
To illustrate how draining illegal immigration is on the U.S. economy, an anonymous piece that has been floating around the Internet entitled "Joe versus Jose" is reproduced below. Try not to get too angry as you read this....

Here is an example of why hiring illegal aliens is not economically
productive for the State of California...or any other state for that matter.

You have 2 families..."Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have
2 parents, 2 children and live in California . "Joe Legal" works in
construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25.00 per hour
with payroll taxes deducted.... "Jose Illegal" also works in construction,
has "NO" Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash per hour
"under the table".

Jose Illegal can send most of his money back home to Mexico to build a
new home for retirement, and have money to buy a new truck
(and still have Medi-Cal benefits while living in a foreign country;
until someone turns him in to authorities....if they ever find out)

Joe Legal is still in the hole.
Any questions?
But an even bigger problem may be the rampant lawlessness that many of these illegal aliens bring. Crime, gangs and drug dealing are dramatically exploding all the way from Texas to southern California.
And once the damage is done, is there any chance that it can ever be reversed?

I just hope these libtards live next to the a-holes pic'd above.
