Illegals are a Major Strain

As the country struggles with a future of record-breaking deficits, 67% of U.S. voters say that illegal immigrants are a substantial strain on the U.S. budget.

A Rasmussen Reports survey finds that just 23% disagree and do not believe illegal immigration is a strain on the US budget. (Are they out-of-it? Who do you think pays for Illegals? Ask the hospitals in California.)

Sixty-six (66%) percent of voters say the accessibility of government money and services attracts illegal immigrants to the US. Nineteen percent (19%) do not believe that government money and services draw illegal immigrants. Fifteen (15%) percent are not sure.

These findings show why 68% of voters allege that gaining control of the border is more important than legalizing the status of ILLEGAL workers. Twenty-six (26%)percent think legalizing illegal immigrants is more important.
