This immigration matter is complex. Immigrants fleeing Mexico, are like ants soaking up our resources but Mexicans are hard workers and will do minimum wage and/or menial labor that some Americans frown upon. Our borders are not as secure as they should be and besides that, human smugglers take advantage of immigrants wanting to come here by herding them into vehicles like cattle, with no thought of safety or dignity. \nAt least 50% of all illegal drugs are smuggled from Mexico.\n   On the other hand Mexicans make up our largest percentage of legal aliens. They contribute significantly to our economy and our culture.\n    Our country needs to make laws applying to those already here and apply new statutes for future immigrants because our country is founded by immigrants from all parts of the world.

No, I don't think there's any correlation.  The type of work that illegal immigrants do, precludes having a lifestyle that includes drugs.  Once an affront to your civil liberties is taken away, and we continue like sheep to comply, it's never given back.

Deport them - 500 Billion\nKeep them here - 500 Trillion\nFreedom - priceless\n\nArnold said 500 billion till i listened to the Border Patrol how we're being lied to.  I wrote Arnold and told him he was wrong.

Another division or so and we might actually become effective at stopping both the human traffic and drugs. I think people or underestimating the positive effect this could have against the drug insurgency. Mexico has always been a major player and the drugs have contributed to the immigration problem.

Most illegal drugs are cultivated by various communist or terrorist groups using slave labor.  Anyone who refuses is murdered.  Actually, murder, torture, rape etc. are routinely used to keep the slaves intimidated so they don't even think of causing trouble.  In places like North Korea and Cuba, its the government doing this to its people.  In places like Mexico and Columbia, various criminals do this while the local governments and police are powerless to stop them.  The drug money supplied by rich jackasses who do drugs, in the US and europe simply makes them too powerful to stop.

11 Percent Of Mexicos Entire Population Of Citizens \nLive In The USA ILLEGALLY\n\nA close, personal friendship with President George W. Bush has given Mexicos President Vicente Fox the opportunity to purposely allow (or even send) Millions of Criminals, Thugs, Anarchists, and Potential Terrorists to swarm over our southern border in breathtaking numbers. (Nearly half of all illegal aliens currently living in the U.S. came here since Bush became president in 2000.)  \n\nFolks, There Are More Than 20 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS In Our Country\n\nMore Than 80 Percent Of Them Came Over Our Southern Border\n\nAND...They Are Still Arriving  - At A Rate Of 8 Thousand Per Day\n\nEl Presidente Fox has been unrelenting in his brazen DEMANDS  on The United States, Starting with OPEN BORDERS even before he was elected. He has called for OUR Border to be a " Joining Line.” His visits to the U.S. have been filled with endless requirements for Mexican Citizens Illegally in OUR Country — \n-Taxpayer-Subsidized In-State Tuition for Illegals at state colleges and universities, \n-Free Healthcare, \n-Guestworker Programs \n-And AMNESTY for all. -                                                              http://www.americanpatrol.com/REFERENCE/VicenteFox.html                                                              http://www.americanpatrol.com/REFERENCE/MeddlingMexicans.html  http://www.americanpatrol.com/REFERENCE/MatriculaConsularShamIDs.html

It's getting out of hand. We should stop this nonsense and send the illegals home.\n\n\nFrom the L.A Times\n\n1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card. \n\n2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.\nhttp://www.washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20040119-082933-4484r.htm\n\n3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.\n\n4. Over 2/3's of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers. \n\n5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.\n\n6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.\n\n7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. \n\n8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.\n\n9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.\n\n10. In L.A.County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L.A.County).\n\n(All 10 from the Los Angeles Times)\n\n\nLess than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on welfare.\nhttp://www.cis.org\n\n\nOver 70% of the United States annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration.\n\n\nThe cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was a NET (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) $70 BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University]. \n\n29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

A lot of the answerers here are demonstrating that are both ignorant and racists, I don't know if it's worth explaining them again that 66% of the undocumented workers pay social security taxes they don't use and that illegal immigrants are a small fraction of the underground economy in the US that includes all the drugs, prostitution and illegal activities that are normal in this country.

It varies year to year depending on how many illegal immigrants they have to support each year.  Right now it's 8%.
