No the best medicine for a country with no enough jobs for it's own workers.

"The comprehensive immigration overhaul being taken up in the Senate this week could cost taxpayers $6.3 trillion if 11 million illegal immigrants are granted legal status, according to a long-awaited estimate by the conservative Heritage Foundation.

The cost would arise from illegal immigrants tapping into the government's vast network of benefits and services, many of which are currently unavailable to them.

This includes everything from standard benefits like Social Security and Medicare to dozens of welfare programs ranging from housing assistance to food stamps.

"No matter how you slice it, amnesty will add a tremendous amount of pressure on America's already strained public purse," Robert Rector, the Heritage scholar who prepared the report, said in a statement.

Now that 11 million has been static for over a decade.

The last amnesty ended up with double the number applying.
Estimates are anywhere from 11-33 million illegals.

So that $6 trillion+ could balloon even more.
Between this and Obamacare costs we better get Bernanke cranking out more than $85 billion per month.
