There's another issue here that everyone seems to forget.

I don't care if illegal aliens spend 500 BILLION in tax dollars and funded every last drop of this country; Which they don't by the way, last year in California they cost just our educational system over 4 BILLION, but lets ignore that.

An issue that no one ever brings up, is the principle of the issue. They are here illegally. They break the law on a day in and day out basis by living here, in fact, the habitual illegals, the one's who never become legal citizens, are fine with doing that because they don't have to pay taxes in a lot of cases, they get paid cash, they still send their now legal-American children to American-funded schools, and all the while they're completely untracable by the U.S. law enforcement agencies.

That is wrong.

What's most wrong about it is hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children, citizens and immigrants alike, died to protect this country from people being able to just come in here and do whatever they want with no recourse or penalty for breaking the laws and freedoms that we have come accostomed to, and worked so very hard for over the past 200 years.

When you reward illegal aliens, you basically throw all that hard work out the window merely because it seems like a problem that is too hard to tackle, or will cost too much money, and as a result you're basically saying that all the hundreds of thousands of those who died to let us have what we have today, wasn't worth it because when it comes our time to do something difficult to keep this country safe, prosperous and proper, we decide its not worth it.

That's just wrong. Plain and simple. Wrong.
