Immigrants, legal and illegal, pay millions of dollars in taxes without any benefit of the services for which they're paid.
Sure, let's remove the assistance they receive, which would include housing vouchers, Medicaid, welfare and food stamps. Now we have millions of people who can't adequately feed their children, still require medical attention, may find themselves homeless and will continue to make this their new land. How is it we won't end up not only paying for their needs one way or the other but creating new problems along the way, like increased crime, possible spread of disease, higher healthcare and homelessness?
We've become a nation that once utilized the qualities of mercy and foresight to strengthen the general community but now seeks only to penalize others at every opportunity.
