Oh, I love this part:

The Immigration Policy Center and the Center for American Progress, two liberal-leaning think tanks, have estimated that legalizing illegal immigrants would generate between $4.5 billion and $5.4 billion in tax revenues over three years.

The cost to educate the children of illegals only in the state of CA is estimated to be $3.2 billion annually. That comes out to nearly $10 billion over three years.

Seems like a no-brainer to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, one would definitely have to have “no brain” to fall for this.

Also many of these illegals are on low paying jobs with many dependants so they would not actually have a tax liability anyway.

Adding 12-20 million into mainstream America, that won't be paying taxes, would be a travesty. We think that they are costing tax payers a lot of money now? Whoa.

They will latch onto any group for attention they are so desperate, freeloaders of typical nature.

Not likely on any count: the odds are growing that restrictive legislation will be in put in place which will effectively keep any ethnic group out of the USA unless they hail from English speaking nations or at least Japan, S Korea or the EU. Note that all of the latter places that I listed are at or below replacement birthrate level.
