First, assuming an illegal alien will begin to pay taxes once citizenship is granted won't happen.

Most illegal aliens will not fall into an income category to pay income taxes. Citizenship will remove any doubt or any barriers about a person's being able to receive government assistance.

One of the big issues on the Texas border is the amount of illegals that live in Mexico, yet bus their kids across the border to the Texas schools for free education. It is a Texas law that students are required to live in the school district that they attend.

The laws are in place, but there is little federal interest in enforcement. The feds allow bus loads of school age children to cross the border in the morning and return in the afternoon. They know what is going on.

The fence is just a show piece. I live near I35 in central Texas and I see bunches of new, big, diesel buses delivering thousands of illegals into the US every day. I'm sure they have the needed paperwork to enter the US...they just don't plan to return...they know the INS can't find them.

The buses make a beeline to Dallas, and from there they travel east, west, or continue north. With duel drivers and an onboard john, they can be most anywhere in the US in one day.

Again, the feds at the border see this everyday and they know how many enter and how few return.

Nevada has an unemployment of 13.2%. It is estimated that their work force is make up of 12.2% illegal aliens. There's the recession...the carrying of illegal aliens.

In central Texas, our local paper states that our unemployment has a high of 7.3% in the month of August. Over the last year 2800 jobs were lost. Education and health workers had a gain of 600 while government workers had a gain of 500 jobs.

I'll quote the front page:

As a result, local personnel companies say they’re seeing a lot of desperate people.

“They’ll take anything,” said Danny Lincavage, operations manager at All Staff Personnel Services. “People with degrees in finance are doing general labor, landscaping and catering. Some temps were making $10 to $15 an hour, but now they’re making the minimum wage.”

They make those wages if they can find work at all.

“We’ve had people in here multiple times that we haven’t been able to place, and they tell us the story is the same at other agencies,” Lincavage said. “Jobs are scarce.”

Amnesty for illegals at 1.2 million people has helped to bring 12 million for this go around. The amnesty that Obama WILL grant will cause (has already started) a total "bum rush" over the border.
