And we spent over $100 billion on illegals in return.

I'm not a math major but that still equals a net loss.

The initial comparison is like giving a cashier a 100 dollar bill for a 10 dollar item and getting back 40 bucks back as change.

Well, you did get 40 back as change. 40 bucks is 40 bucks right? Plus, you got the 10 dollar item as a bonus!

Basically, illegal immigrants and their supporters are quick-change artist? LOL You know, the people that go in a store and try to confuse the cashier and get more money back?

They also used 200 Billion!

So they're not paying their fair share!

Get them the hell outta here!

zacatecana, you know full very well that illegals pay taxes, but whatever they pay in Texas, they get more than double back in the form of benefits, so it's a net loss.
