Continuation from a previous post.
3. Taxes. Illegals either by participating in the underground economy or by holding low paying jobs pay less in taxes (on average) than their citizen counterparts. The problem here is actually income tax. Earned income is probably the worst metric for tax obligation we could come up with. It's too simple to avoid. With the progressive tax rates currently implemented, half of the population pays no tax at all.
If you want illegals to pay their fair share, make a fairer tax system.
4. Government services. This is probably the worst part. Children of illegal residents are enrolled in public schools; medical services are being provided without compensation.
The problem is not the illegals, the problem is the socialism. Citizenship shouldn't matter at the hospital if you pay the bill. It doesn't matter at a school if you pay the tuition. There would be a revolution today (well maybe not today, but 20 years ago) if you had to prove your legal standing when buying a hamburger. You should not need to show a green card in order to get a haircut.
Money, trade, just compensation is what entitles you to the products or services of another. Why are certain categories of services exempt from this rule?
We cannot legislate human nature. There will always be those who abuse the system. The only way to prevent the abuse is to eliminate the system. If I donate to a charity that I later find to be corrupt, I can discontinue my donations. When government is the charity, my donation is always under duress.

I'm really sick of getting porn spam in Japanese. Knock it off.
