I'm a Mexican immigrant. People come because they know they can find work and send the money back home. The percentage that actually try to use a fake SSN and eventually qualify for SS payments is small and even in those cases that's not why they immigrated in the first place.
And regarding taxation and use of federal and community resources, the issue is considerably more complex than you imagine. See below
Increasing Tax Revenue by Granting Amnesty. As discussed above, our research shows that granting illegal aliens amnesty would dramatically increase tax revenue. Unfortunately, we find that costs would increase even more. Costs would rise dramatically because illegals would be able to access many programs that are currently off limits to them.

As for the haves supporting the lazy havenots, I am definitely not a supporter. I'm politically conservative. If someone comes across the border to add value to the nation by working, fantastic. If eventually they become complacent and decide they want to stay home and watch television, go back to Chihuahua City and watch television.
