Interesting stats to look at can be found on this website:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/taxes.asp
This is a very helpful website in depicting which areas citizens taxes payers' dollars are going. It doesn't include educational needs of their children that are being paid for by citizens. These immigrants aren't required to pay taxes and it just doesn't seem fair when they are seen in the most expensive cars, nicest houses and newest technology. Immigrants don't have to pay because for the certain time given here are to help them get on their feet. But shouldn't the times of residency here be better monitored because it is obvious that that aren't leaving on time? Should they be required to pay taxes because of the threat of them not leaving when time's up?

I think the website you list has some great facts. It is worth a look at before reading the passage. I also feel you make some great points in this passage, and ask some good questions that really get you thinking.
The passage made some good points, but i don't think illegal immigrants in our country are driving the nicest cars and have the biggest houses. The link was very interesting, although it switched between legal and illegal immigrant stats. Overall it really made me think about the issue.
I agree with the last commentor because these were my views and not very realistic about immigrants drivng the nicest cars and living in luxury. More than half of illegal immigrants here live below the poverty line.
