What if I told you Mexico is the only country that our southern border physically touches? Of course all of the other central and south americans who illegally imigrate by land would have to pass through the same border that Mexicans that illegaly imigrate had to pass through!

Very interesting, except illegals can't collect federal benefits like welfare food assistance, or education benefits as per the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA). Bill Clinton didn't SUGGEST a crackdown on welfare for illegals, he passed a law forbidding it. They can collect some state benefits, but trump is not in charge of those.

Ron Paul says:
The various taxpayer-funded programs that benefit illegal immigrants in the United States, such as direct financial transfers, medical benefits, food assistance, and education
Wasn't Ron Paul a congressman? He didn't know illegals are barred from any of these programs? Either he was a totally incompetent politico or is deliberately lying through his teeth. That's not a surprise. He's also confused about the 100 billion number. The 100 billion is how much illegals have paid into the social security fund that they will never collect.

More reality TV bread and circus for the masses. Patrick bought it.

Heritage Foundation ?

You have to admire the heritage foundation. One of hundreds of wealthy foundations set up by the ultra rich/libertarians in the 70's and 80's. No one is better a pushing out very official looking conservative/libertarian bullshit than heritage. Let's look at the article.

The Title, it says we are going to see the costs. It doesn't say the theoretical costs:
"The Fiscal Cost of Unlawful Immigrants and Amnesty to the U.S. Taxpayer"

The first paragraph, note the word can slipped in but not obvious:
Unlawful immigration and amnesty for current unlawful immigrants can pose large fiscal costs for U.S. taxpayers. Government provides four types of benefits and services that are relevant to this issue:

Buried deep in the article, note that they left out food stamps/snap:
unlawful immigrants at present do not have access to means-tested welfare, Social Security, or Medicare.

Nice, great job. Propaganda done up by world class experts. Note they left out the answer to the question, or even brought up the question, of how a group that doesn't have access to federal funds can have a "Fiscal Cost of Unlawful Immigrants and Amnesty to the U.S. Taxpayer".

Oh Bullshit Bobby....

Children in unlawful immigrant households receive heavily subsidized public education. Many unlawful immigrants have U.S.-born children; these children are currently eligible for the full range of government welfare and medical benefits.

Children born in the US are US citizens. They are not illegals. They are entitled to benefits. Don't like it get the law changed. Oh I forgot you don't have a clue what the law is.

Families of illegals? As in including the kids born here who US citizens and are totally entitled to their benefits. Police, fire, highways and parks as benefits to illegals? Really? What a load of crap. Perfect for a non thinker like you.

Back in your court. Where are the federal benefits paid to illegals?

Executing any Republican that has ever paid an illegal or ever used a company that used illegal is a good start.
Surely this would slow down Republican hatred of the american worker.
