What is the cost of illegal immigration? According to the Center for Immigration Studies it is $338.3 billion. The center breaks it down as follows: $22 billion on social services; $2.2 billion on food assistance; $2.5 billion on Medicaid, $29 billion on education ($12 billion on primary and secondary education for children here illegally who cannot speak English; $17 billion for children born here by illegal parents); $3 million per day to incarcerate illegal immigrants (30 percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal immigrants); $90 billion on illegal aliens for welfare. Lastly $200 billion in suppressed American wages.
Add to this the cost of deportation at $46 billion annually.
Can anyone defending illegal aliens explain to me why the USA needs these people here?

The country sure doesn't need them. But certain persons in the legislature of a certain ideology want them. Until enforcement of oaths or affirmations, and the undue influence of corporate peddlers, this condition will continue. Enforcement by any means is acceptable.
