Read it and weep.
It takes a huge toll:
1. in our welfare system
2. in our education system
3. in our health care system
4. in the criminal system
5. in national security system
ILLEGAL immigration is illegal for a reason, it hurts our nation and ALL the people in it.
Our education system is suffering. Schools are eliminating many traditional programs to fund ESU classes and programs for the children of illegal aliens.
Our health-care system is suffering due to losses to hospitals that are forced to give free health care to them. Over 80 hospitals in CA have had to close.
Our prison system is over-crowded and the incarceration of criminal illegal aliens increase this burden. Our court systems are over-crowded as well, and the addition of the illegal aliens does not help.
Tax bases are lowered when illegal aliens work and do not pay taxes. Taxes which could be used to improve roads, education, etc.
Wages are depressed since illegal aliens frequently work below minimum. Every dollar sent out of the country by an illegal alien is a dollar removed from our economy.
There is much more damage done. You can research more at the link below.

I have seen where people say the resources of this country are limitless. But they are not. And yes, I feel for people who have hardships. But in reality, this country cannot take in all the poor of every nation, although I don't see people on here saying we should open the borders to all of Ethopia. It does seem that Mexicans say that we can take care of them all, and that we can support them all.
As evidenced by the above video, we do not have enough to go around for entire other countries. And that illegal immigration takes from this system far more than it puts in.
I think it also takes a toll on our sense of well-being and security. Has anyone but me thought of the best way for terrorists to get into our country? From the southern border. Why bother trying to get into here on some fake excuse with a legal ID when you can just walk across and be totally under the radar? That takes from my sense of security. And no matter the problems in this country, I should feel safe to live here. All citizens should.
Thats why it would be logical to Annex all of Mexico turn it into a state and make them all US citizens. I'm serious on this.
I've lately become skeptical of the claimed beneficial economic benefits of low skilled labor that doesn't speak English in the US. Primarily because I saw a placard at my local grocery store for W.I.C. vouchers in Spanish only.
It's destroying our education,medical,assistance programs and the few who do pay taxes under an assumed name are a huge problem for taxpayer's too. Morals, values, respect, and being law abiding are all disintegrating due to their lack of these qualities. They're using our resources to the point of ridiculousness. Deport all illegals now.
Our Public Education,Higher Education, ESL and Bilingual Education, Food Stamps,Housing, Social Security,
Medicaid., Medicare A and B,Criminal Justice and Corrections System, Local Government and personal property values, local government, Other Programs suffer from these these law breakers taking advantage of our social programs and infrastructure.
