Then, quantify it. What is the contribution versus the cost of illegal immigrants. How much do they contribute to production and revenues versus these alleged "forfeits" and "subsidies." The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. -- Winston Churchill

All this stuff about "balancing" negative effects and "cost-benefit analysis". I've applied it to both the global warming and the immigration "problems" (at least in my own mind) and I find the alarmism about both to be pretty much equal amounts of socialist nonsense.
