@MMM: about 20% of my paycheck is eaten by the federal and state government. On top of that, I pay sales tax. Illegal immigrants, who get paid under the table, don't get owned by that 20% figure.
What I mean by public services is that police, courts, jails, firefighters, etc art free. They're paid for via taxes. Their workload is also directly tied to population size, and their funding is tied to tax payers.
The more illegals who don't contribute, the greater the tax burden is on lawful tax payers.
The cost of enforcing immigration laws is also directly tied to the ease of getting here.
