How many illegals send money home?
Low wages and high real unemployment cause a huge burden on a country. People have less to spend, pay less in taxes and raise demands for welfare payments.
I have close family living in California, my parents lived there and dealt first hand with illegals.
Also mass migration is a problem for the West not confined to the US.

if they had no undocumented workers to employ their economy would collapse.
if they generate more tax revenue than the services they consume, lower prices across industries, and are a fundamental component of the economy, it doesn't matter how much money they send home - furthermore sending USD makes the world that much more reliant on the USD as a reserve currency, something under serious attack.
to blame immigrants for low wages is frankly insane with relation to this conversation.. you discuss taxes and freeloaders while a series of corporations with positive tax rates and a series of tax havens across the planet buy and sell politicians at whim while we demonize children and their parents trying to escape realities created by our very own 'western governments'
want these people to stay home? stop killing their leaders
