My mother likes to say “Every problem comes with two handles — one handle is fear and the other handle is hope.â€

Yea hoping they get the message and return home.

The undocumented added $7 billion into Social Security and another $1.5 billion into Medicare. Since they cannot benefit from these entitlement programs, this money represents a net contribution to the federal revenues



But wait now, there is no way, short of a new bill, to determine if a worker is illegal - so where do they get these 'facts'?

It amazes me, they can't ascertain their legal standing, they don't know where they are, they don't know who they are, they don't know where they work - etc., but they definitely know how much they pay in taxes.

In one such list of 'benefits' of illegals here in Texas, they listed how much they spend on the state lottery.
