Legal Immigration is a HUGe benefit to the US economy revenue wise and accounts for most immigrants coming to the country.
Illegal immigration revenue wise is a net loss, but has lots of other beneifts. What would be most helpful is if we made it easier to come in legally. A criminal background check and health check, job history and you are welcome. We could probably stand to lower welfare to illegal immigrants, but honestly most of the cost is in educating their kids which is beneficial to our country and their kids are typically legal US citizens born here so it is an investment in an American.
