Yeah - but many of them do alright. I know illegals that own have
taken out mortgages and purchased their own homes. There is just
about zero enforcement of our immigration laws once you get into this
country.

Why should there be???
If someone wants to come here, work hard, pay taxes and generally become
productive citizens I say "come on up".
I agree we don't need immigrant welfare cases and criminals but if they want
the American dream of a job, a house and a family, what/who are they hurting?
We certainly are going to need a huge increase in full grown workers if the
Ponzi scheme we call Social Security is going to survive the 2010s
