here's a good place to start your research:

the fact is that Mexico would rather have us support their poor. Many
groups have generated reports that Illegal Aliens are beneficial. Despite
this, the key word remains: ILLEGAL. The situation has progressed so much
that we are actually harboring multi-generational culture that feels
entitled to American tax money. The ideology that they use to support this
belief is particularly noxious and even some participants on this list
appear to be in support of them.
