the high cost of illegal immigration

5. Undocumented workers do not get food stamps

or free housing. They get some health care, but probably a whole lot less than other poor people.

The far bigger problem is companies like WalMart not paying their workers a living wage, not scheduling them full time, not giving them health care through the job. I understand that part of the new employee orientation usually involves how to apply for SNAP. Meanwhile, the Walton family aren't ever going hungry.

Keep in mind that since illegal immigrants also can't collect Social Security, they pay into it, often for years, and will never be able to collect.
