Question:

Undocumented immigrants are a drain on our communities because they get welfare and free health care, so why shouldn’t they be deported?

Background:

Undocumented immigrants support government financially because they pay taxes. Yet they do not qualify for the most costly government assistance programs, such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, although they may qualify for some smaller government assistance programs. Studies show that undocumented immigrants pay about as much in taxes as they receive in government programs.

Answer:

Undocumented immigrants are not a drain on our communities.
