How, exactly, are they cashing in? Even illegals get their income taxed. You act like these people are driving Bentleys and taking milk baths. They aren't 'cashing in' as you say. You or I wouldn't live like they do.

how many illegals actually own a home? probably not many, they typically can't afford one. so how are they going to pay property taxes living in rentals or apartments? they don't. next you'll claim your usual argument they pay sales taxes, which is true of course, on their beer and white bread and baloney. so what? Japanese tourists pay sales tax on their souvenirs.
so as usual your argument is false. an illegal by definition, CANNOT have a valid social security number to file a federal return. they do not file state taxes either which in Texas is a moot point but most states have state income tax. and finally many illegals get paid cash to avoid the need to have such documents as a social security card to begin with.
so smartass, besides sales tax on consumption items like beer and food and clothes, what do illegals contribute in taxes? federal income tax? nope. state income tax? nope. property tax? nope. and even the few illegals who actually could buy a home avoid it for the obvious reasons they are illegal. and not to mention they typically don't want to own property because it reduces their mobility, to move where the work is. or to leave in the middle of the night and get out of the country.
why do you continue to defend the "rights" and "contributions" of criminals? they have no rights, nor can they truly contribute to society. idiot.
