A lot of the assurtions in this thread are wrong.
My old college roommate works for homeland security. Meaning he's arresting, and deporting them all day long. So let's start with a few of the misconceptions shall we..
They do pay social security, and taxes.
Wrong. Most do not. However there are a number of them that use stolen SSN's and deceased people's. The IRS knows this, but since the money's coming into the coffers, they do not complain. Also there is no agency cooperation to catch these. However, they are the except to the argement "they pay" not the rule.
They do not collect unemployment, or other state/fed benefits..
Wrong. They have their children over here. Making them a citizen. They collect social security on their children. El Paso for example has thousands of P.O. boxes for a town that could not possibly use them all. Why? Because the illegals checks come to the P.O. box, and they walk across the border to collect their checks, then walk back.
Also once they have kids here. When the kid turns 18, they fill out a paper, and TADA, parents are now legal as well.
