This article has some truth but not all accurate...yes illegal immigrants cost tremendous amount of money to keep and to also deport however, not everything is free as what is being told.   Trust me i know becuase although I'm not an immigrant and successful now, as a kid my family was very poor and lived on welfare for a time. The problem is how people take advantage of the system that's easy to manipulate. Some comments calling people leeches are just ignorant folks unaware that they are also here in America because there families one day came here as immigrants themselves and went through the same process so please do not judge. We are all human beings trying to have a better life especially for the children. If you want to make an article, how about one that would express the fact that we give billions and billions of dollars to other countries to support them. I work for the government so i know this to be true, this article just causes more issues in our society in the US.
