Send all the Homeless to Mexico.

They can then be a drain on the Mexican economy, much like their illegal immigrants are a drain on the US economy.

*Ahem.*

Illegal immigrants are not a drain on the economy. *bangs head on table*

They provide millions in unclaimed social security, sales taxes, and very often local and state taxes that they do not recieve back in services. (For a local example, please see the Georgia budget and policy institute's report on the issue, found here: http://www.gbpi.org/pubs/garevenue/20060119.pdf)

Oh yeah, there's also the reduced prices in housing, food, and services that comes from non-union people working in underpaid positions.

The only drain that illegal immigrants produce is on the energy of activists constantly trying to debunk the same bullshit myths propogated by bourgeois media types over and over again. (Maybe I should be sent to Mexico for a vacay.)
