get real, as part of the administrative and medical staffof a hospital near a big enclave of migrant workers I can tell you otherwise, as I already commented in another post; of the 8 million dollarsof uncollected money,
only 0.003% was suspected to come from migrant workers(approx $25,000)
which is next to nothing.

We should be grateful to our migrant workforce and support them
You have yet to provide one iota of hard evidence to support the claim that illegal aliens contribute more than they take. As things stand now, this is nothing more than your opinion.
The fact that your hospital was only on the hook for $25,000 in unpaid bills run up by illegal aliens in no way implies that other US hospitals are owed only a similar minuscule amount.

Some people are so blinded with their hate, that nothing makes them reason.

And some people like to eat diced bananas with horseradish sauce, while others prefer not to. But neither THIS post, nor yours, addresses the "evidence" that Andreabeth asked you to provide, showing that illegal immigrants provide more benefits to American society than they "take away".

I have an uncomfortable feeling that this isn't about "benefitting" America, anyway. I think we're really talking about illegal immigration benefitting the illegals.....and if that comes at the expense of others, that's OK....right?

Some people regard Osama Bin Laden as a terrorist, others as a hero, it all depend which point of view you're using, some people claim that being vegetarian is the ultimate state, however populations in the balcans and the caucassus that heavily depend on pork have the highest life expectancy in the world.
Now, what if some of these people that claim that migrant workers threat
their assets, made their assets from migrant workers work?

Remember:

Legal immigrants are OK

Illegal immigrants are not OK.......they are lawbreakers and need to be dealt with accordingly. If it means jail time in Tent Cities, so be it.

What if they didn't make their assets from migrant workers work? 'Migrant workers' = illegal aliens

(and it's Balkans and Caucasus)

Consider the source.

The poster in question is grasping at straws due to public sentiment tilting against illegals......I sense desperation, shall we say

As long as there are millions of people like me, who sponsor migrant workers,
they will be a part of our society,
