That's just welfare benefits. Also add in the cost of education, feeding them in school and the free healthcare they get from ER's and county health depts.

They can't get high paying jobs because they are illegal, unskilled and under educated.

What else do you propose..they live in the streets, they construct cardboard houses in your city parks ?

You don't give them welfare and you'll have pockets of third world country like the colonias along the Texas/Mexican border.

I recommend illegal aliens be sent back to their home country.

Well the government disagrees with you.
We'll give amnesty to those already here and double up the H1-B and create a new W-Visa for the min wage immigrants that want to come here with their families and work.

That's what passed in the Senate.

Other countries have changed their laws; one parent must be a citizen for the child to also be a citizen.
A bill has been introduced to restrict birthright citizenship.

It has zero chances of flying in Congress.
