AMERICANS dislike
ILLEGAL immigrants.....regular people who move to the US and become citizens are celebrated here.
Illegals break the law coming to this country, they use services they do not pay for, I am 100% certain Mr. Martinez is in the minority of illegals when you state that he pays all the taxes and how convieniant to cite someone who is illegal and yet he's still here in the US BITCHING about paying taxes....why doesn't he learn english and go through the naturalization process like a REAL US CITIZEN.
Seven million is pocket change considering this

Keep it coming, ILLEGALS are no good for the American citizen
More nonsensical ranting. The US is a great place for business because it's the world's biggest marketplace and there's a huge unregulated labour market to employ from. Unions are almost nonexistent in America now, and the jobs illegals do in America are almost all in nonunionised sectors.
Studies by anti-immigration groups in your links mean as much as me posting studies by pro-immigration groups -- they're just a bunch of cherry-picked factlets stiched together to make a case.
Illegals contribute seven billion a year in ss taxes -- that's billion with a "b".
The US economy relies on mass immigration to keep going.
The only reason illegals are illegal is the GOP has been able to use immigration as a political football for decades to get ignorant dummies to vote for them. Now that they need the Hispanic vote to remain competetive in national elections, they're going to have to do what the Democrats have wanted to for decades, which means bring in a legal immigration programme to allow US businesses the quantity of labour it needs. Then they'll all be legal taxpayers and you won't have any excuse for bashing them, although facts and evidence clearly don't matter to you so I'm sure you'll keep on keeping on.
My advice to you is to go back to school or work harder, then you'll be part of the America that most feels the benefit from mass immigration. It may ease the hatred a little bit. You need to understand that if immigration was a net loss to the US there'd have been an impenetrable barrier along the southern border for a century now. But it's a net gain so mass immigration is only going to continue -- the US population will soar over 450 million by 2050. To avoid getting even more bitter and twisted and to share in America's future economic success, get yourself back to school and increase your earning power.
