Yes, exactly.  For some reason, you can easily find people who believe
that illegal aliens dig all the ditches in the US, and they pick all the
crops.  They, like the fella above are extremely uninformed. Many crops
are picked by machines, but not all.  How long has it been since you've
seen anyone digging a "ditch"?  Machines do most of the earth moving on
this side of the border.  
However, many schools districts are experiencing exponential growth
because of the children of illegals.  Who is paying the bill for all of
this grouth?  Who will pay for the new schools that are needed? 
California is paying hundreds of millions of dollars per year for the
medical needs of illegals.  I have read that the cost is over 1 billion
dollars, but that is so shocking, I just do not want to quote that
figure just yet.  In some counties in southwestern states, the greatest
number of births is to illegal aliens at free county hospitals which are
supported by tax dollars.
I am looking around for welfare information on illegal aliens.  If you
know where some of the stats are located, please drop me a note.
Something has to be done to stop the influx of illegal aliens.  And, for
those who think that only illegals will do hard work, I must remind you
that there are lots of legal aliens doing hard work in America.  
We do not need the illegals on this side of the border!
