well yeah..........

In my mind that explains why they are never in that big a hurry to get anything done regarding immigration. That's a pretty good gig they've got going on, why fix something that's not broken.

I think I posted this article in one of the Immigration threads some time back, but it breaks down the various taxes paid by illegal immigrants.

I don't know how much the tax revenue generated by illegal immigrants plays into immigration reform, if at all. Aside from Social Security, illegal immigrants also benefit from the taxes they pay.

But, one thing that I think lawmakers are probably mindful about is how so many agricultural and other industries rely on illegal workers to stay afloat. There are a lot of stories about employers who offered fair/good wages and benefits and still couldn't get Americans to take the jobs.
