Illegal immigration has a devastating impact on low-wage workers whose employers give them their jobs.
Of course, living as an illegal immigrant in the United States virtually requires one to commit several crimes, anything from identity theft to fraud, but illegal immigration often brings far more serious offenses.
Illegal immigration affects different states in different ways, including right here in the Bay State, where, according to a Pew Research Center report, the illegal migrant population grew more in Massachusetts than any other state from 2007 to 2017 - a 60,000 spike that costs Massachusetts taxpayers and risks public safety.
"Besides the cost to taxpayers, there are public safety implications when you fail to control illegal immigration," said Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies.
"And the continuing high levels of illegal immigrants undermine the integrity of our legal immigration system."
Illegal immigrants annually cost Massachusetts taxpayers an estimated $2 billion for welfare, education and other costs - a price that will only rise as the illegal immigrant population goes up, she said.
"Tolerance for illegal immigration is not compassionate. It is actually very cruel," he said.
