Using studies showing that illegals cost tax payer money as evidence of why we should deport them IS drivel. Using that same logic we should also work on deporting:
-Every health care recipient- I pay a ridiculous amount for health care it would be cheaper to pay as you go. But I pay it so why deport me?
-Every Medicare and Medicade recipient- Most paid taxes when they worked, my Grandmother worked from age 12 to age 64 just to receive that crap.
-Everyone who uses automobiles on public road ways- we pay road taxes when we register every year. Truck drivers pay more though and still we drive on crappy potholed rough uneven roads.
-Children who are in school- Who will pay taxes when they grow up, and will pay for our medicare and SS because our great GOVT cant budget money.
-Drunk drivers- They need harsher punishments I agree, but they pay a kings ransom for getting caught. It needs to end.
-All incarcerated people- They pay restitution commonly and if sent to a half way house have to pay to be there. As well as working while locked up. I wish we could deport some of them
-The Federal government- Can we deport them?
-NASA- Yes we pay for it, but it is necesary?
-High Fructose Corn Syrup- Where would we deport it to?
-Nicotine- Should be illegal, but the govt makes to much $ off the taxes, that again we pay to kill our selves.

Anything else?- Again CAN we deport the GOVT?

Its not just the tax paying issues, and I agree not all crime is caused by "illegal immigrants" but it is a high number. Problem is most of the time they get deported instead of locked up to save TAX DOLLARS.
