More than 37 million immigrants in the United States, both legal and illegal, cost the federal government more than $346 billion last year, twice as much as the nation's fiscal deficit, according to a report released yesterday.

Look at some liar spinning the report of what you just posted on the web.
This is exactly all the lies, myths and propaganda come from.

Staggering Cost Of Illegal Aliens In America
Taxpayers Taken To The Cleaners
By Frosty Wooldridge 4-10-8
Illegal alien migration into the United States costs American taxpayers $346 billion annually reported by the National Research Council. While employers of illegal aliens rake-in billions of dollars, the US citizens subsidize what may be called organized "Slavery in 21st Century America."
Did you notice that the report encompasses both legal and illegal immigrants milking the system? Who cares about the percentage? I care about my tax dollars subsidizing people who are fully capable of taking care of themselves.

So now legal immigrants are milking the system? So much for "we are only against illegals".
That report seeks to portray all immigrants in a negative light, no wonder you are all excited about it.
*waits for those who are ONLY anti-illegal to come defend legal immigrants against this hitjob*
Every report I've seen says that illegals take more than they give.
If you add up the taxes not paid, the depression of our citizens' wages, education and health costs, welfare, food stamps, etc., you get a negative "benefit" from illegals. How could you not? With us giving them all this stuff which they are not paying for with taxes (unless they're committing fraud and should be deported immediately for stealing someone's SS# or using a fake one), it has to be a negative.
PLUS, they're ILLEGAL - they immediately broke our laws just by coming over the border. So, it doesn't really matter if they give more than they take, which is very doubtful in any case.
Not to forget the trashing of neighborhoods, bringing down home values where they live 20 people to a house. That is also a loss. Not to mention the ones we're keeping in jail, paying for their incarceration and lives that have been lost because of their crime (we have enough of our own, thank you).
The list is endless.
