Seriously — are your children getting an inferior education? And did you know that your personal safety is far more in peril from American citizens than undocumented residents? And what jobs are you hankering for that you’ve lost to cheap labor? Do you truly have a burning desire to pick strawberries in the hot sun for 14 hours a day?

Undocumented residents do indeed pay taxes. Many pay into the Social Security system money they will never be able to get out of it. Furthermore, our economy has become dependent upon this source of cheap labor.

But I assume that your xenophobia makes you OK with paying more for food, housing, and various other things.
