and if these illegals were NOT here stealing American jobs.. Americans who could be working those stolen jobs, would be paying those same taxes.. buying those homes, buying those products,, FEEDING THIER AMERICAN FAMILIES.

You forgot to include the millions in costs associated in healthcare for those
anchor babies, criminal courts and prison costs, the decline in Americans job wages and job loss, the huge costs in education, food stamps, free lunches, the death toll of Americans due these illegals, the millions spent each year
to print and distribute all the spanish bs, the theft of American identities, costs associated with forged documents.. the little American girl who will be molested by an illegal, the American who will die because of an illegal drunk driver, the mexican gangbangers who will keep growing in numbers and the millions and millions in costs associated in combating these criminals... shall I go on...

As someone who reads studies almost daily, I can tell you that the people paying for the study often get the results they want. This part of the article says it all:
Quote:
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A study by a group hoping to counter some anti-illegal immigrant sentiment at the legislature estimates that undocumented immigrants contribute around...
So even if it is $400 mil (in reality, probably not even half of that), it STILL pales in comparison to how much they cost the state.

simply put, illegal immigrants would not be here if they were not getting out of the system more than they are putting in.

If they really contributed very much then their own government would want them back -- which is obviously does not.

If they had the same job opportunities they had back home, they wouldn't leave would they?

If you say the illegals are stealing those jobs your wrong. Your beef is with the employer who hires them.

Available job opportunities for citizens of foreign countries are NOT the responsibility of the American taxpayer.
