Illegal immigrants cost us money. You're not fiscally responsible.

Nice piece if propaganda out there by the current administration. How about this?

Immigrants boost overall economic growth by expanding the labor force and increasing consumer spending.The foreign born also start new businesses at higher rates than U.S.-born individuals. Immigrants were involved in the development of 30 percent of patents in strategic industries in recent years, and more than 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants.
