Who is "coming here" and refusing to contribute? The undocumented workers that I am aware of come here and work much much harder than most US citizens. So, what people are you talking about that are "coming here" and refusing to contribute?
And, by the way, what do you contribute? Somebody who lives in Highland Park (supposedly) and who (supposedly) has the wherewithal to simply pack up and move to Tel Aviv on a whim. I'm betting any contributions you might make, assuming you are not completely full of shit, come in the form of a capital gains and/or inheritance tax.
You're an internet persona and full of shit. And, we all know it.

I've also made my friends plenty of money when they invested with me. Yes, I have also inherited money - don't you want your children to have the couple of thousand dollars you will leave for them when you die?
It has been estimated that legalizing illegal aliens will mean 1 trillion (in total, not per year) more in tax receipts over the next ten years. That must mean they aren't paying them now, nor are their employers. They also bring their families, get free medical care, free schooling (paying rent on a cheap apartment doesn't cover 10 grand per year per child educational expenses)
Let's face it - illegal immigration benefits corporations that want cheap labor, and us fighting over it is a great way for them to hide the ball.
You liberals want a raise in the minimum wage - let's do it. If people have to mow their own lawn and cook their own food and raise their own kids, your country would probably be better off. Fewer fat people, and fewer illegals.
