I know this is a strange question, but it just popped into my head. We all know there are a lot of people in the US unwilling to work and go out of their way to get free money from the gov't. Shouldn't those people be upset that illegal immigrants are consuming lots of taxpayer money that the gov't/democrats could be giving them?

Rioting is much easier than thinking.

I understand, but the problem is that it isn't helping their cause.

The average individual will only require welfare for a very short period of time, and when they are on TANF they make less than half of the federal poverty line which illegal immigrants are not authorized to receive. It costs the federal government 12,500 dollars per individual that they deport, these individuals do spend money and pay sales tax so by removing them you potentially remove a revenue stream for the individual states. Also if the individual immediately returns to the US then they repeat the cost, if you imprison them then you have to pay for that as well. Some estimates place it at the 412 Billion for the deportation off all people, plus then you would need to police the border to a much larger level, plus prevent re-entry, plus the money that will now be required of all people who decide to leave the American citizens they gave birth to in the United States and make their way into the foster care system. The Republicans are actually presenting the most expensive solution.

MAJ William Gambrell, Sir, Please consider that "these" people are mission focused! Focus=next freebie; not whomever else might be eating from the same pie! I have 'slopped' hogs on a farm; they may shoulder another hog over a bit, but they never eating from the trough. (Public trough) if you wish!)

Agree...but I will continue using your animal analogy. When a wild animal has a kill (let's call the kill the gov't here) and the family is feeding, they fight off the enemy animals trying to get part of that kill.

In an inter-wild-animal environment like Africa, Hogs wouldn't be eating together with different animals.

MAJ William Gambrell, You wish to put me in the position of associating/grouping America's "needy" people's within groups/countries of origin? I live in CA, MAJ, our most needy/receiving group is well known to the minority population of CA!

Maybe the republican candidates can use this line in their debates. Instead of masking opinions, just dehumanize these groups by calling them animals. That way we can ensure a democrat president for another 4 years.
