Here is a artical I found that makes some good points about illegl aliens and how they affect us (i.e.-tax dollars, jobs)
The Bush Administration is now trying to allow illegal
aliens the privilege of obtaining

This would allow illegal aliens to take the jobs of US
drivers of tractor-trailers, taxis, etc.
Agents in the U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson Sector have
seized 543,740 pounds of drugs through July 5, 2006
which is up 11 percent from the 489,898 total seized
in the 2005 fiscal year. Stolen vehicles that are used
to transport illegal aliens and narcotics continue to
be a major crime problem in Arizona. The vehicles
stolen in Phoenix, Tucson and outlying areas are
supplied to organized smugglers in Mexico. The
vehicles have an unending source of drivers who then
re-entry the United States with Contraband or human
cargos.
US Border Patrol Agents, Ramos & Compean, are serving
10+ years in prison because they shot the buttocks of
a repeat drug smuggler from Mexico. For some reason,
the Bush Administration found the smuggler in Mexico
and agreed to pay for his US

suite in exchange for testimony against our own US
Border Patrol agents who had clean records for
decades!
For people living next to or near the Mexican border,
living there has become a living nightmare with
illegal aliens trashing land, homes, and outbuildings;
killing landowners, Border Patrol agents, and tourists
unfortunate enough to get in their way; killing or
stealing livestock; stealing vehicles, guns, and
anything else they can get their hands on. Within the
continental United States not a day goes by but what
we hear of another instance in which an American is
brutally murdered, sodomized, raped or assaulted by a
Mexican citizen in the United States illegally. The
violent street gang Mara Salvatrucha 13 (M-13) arrived
in the United States from El Salvador by way of
Mexico. By now most have heard of La Raza, one of the
organizations supporting Mexican illegal aliens in
America. La Raza in English means “The Race.”
We have all heard President Bush’s take on the 12 to
20 million illegal aliens in this country:“They are
here to do jobs that American’s won’t do.” Really? A
recent Pew Hispanic Center study shows that of the 12
to 20 million illegal aliens in this country, 3%
provide stoop farm labor; the other 97% are taking
jobs away from Americans in the fields of
construction, hospitality, manufacturing, restaurant,
administrative and service jobs. In real terms, that
equates to 11.64 to 19.4 million jobs that Americans
want and need!
