Let me first state that I have nothing personal against illegal aliens. This is a matter of dollars and cents and dollars and common sense.
And I want to remind you that probably all of the politicians that defend the illegals are interested in them only for their votes, who offer them promises of services in exchange for a return vote back to their Senate seat.
Illegal aliens use our healthcare, educate their children for free in our schools, collect welfare and pay nothing in taxes. They are a drain on our society, not to mention the increased crime and possible terroristic threat they pose. The only way to stop this leak is to plug all the holes, with the biggest one being the Mexican border.
We need to gather up all of the illegal aliens and send them back to Mexico, or wherever they came from. Then, we need to expedite the ones that want to come back to work legally, and make sure they have Social Security and health insurance cards and are on the income tax roles so they are contributing to our economy instead of sucking it dry. Then they can do all of those jobs Americans snub their noses at.
If we can put a man on the moon and invent Velcro, we can stop the flow of aliens across our southern borders. How about we bring home the military and get them to help?

Thank you for the link, Brittanicus! While we need to have respect for those who have immigrated legally, we need to be aware of how much illegal immigrants weaken our country, particularly in this day of deep deficits: www.immigrationcounters.com is an awesome website that compiles immigration data and has live counters on the homepage which gives you an up-to-the minute picture of the economic impact the illegal aliens are having on our nation:
22M+ illegal aliens in the US
$38B+ wired to Mixico since Jan '06
$311B+ wired to Latin America since '01
$397B+ cost of social services since '96
$14B+ cost of educating illegal kids since '96
402,828 illegals incarcerated
$1.4B+ cost of incarceration since '01
2M+ anchor babies since '02
11M skilled jobs taken by illegal aliens
