The issue of illegal aliens is essentially an enormous financial siphon
and legal black hole that is fenced off from public criticism by the (false)

from economic refugees to mafia drug lords to corrupt bureaucrats. It
certainly does not benefit Americans at all. When you calculate cost to tax
base, they don't even offer cheap labor.
