[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You won't like my answer, but here goes:

They do pay taxes.

They only use the ER for "free." To the extent they are stabilized and released.   Many try to pay for their care.  They aren't eligible for other health programs.

Children should be held harmless for the "sins" of their parents, so I'm fine with their going to school.

I personally think they are very brave for coming here to find a better life.   I'm sure I'd try the same if my family were suffering so badly.    I am very lucky to have been born here, to a family that made it up to middle class.    My grandparents were immigrants from Scotland who worked as groundskeepers and maids.   Very poor.   They had been desperate to leave Scotland, too.   But it was simple for them to get here.  Buy the boat ticket and done.

Of the half of my ancestors who weren't brought here as slaves, the rest came here in search of a better life. And they were welcomed because of their white skin, even if they were uneducated, criminals, poor, or the "wrong" religion.[/quote]
