Also, anybody have any talking points on how many actually want to stay here. I thought the point of them working here was that they make low wages (by our standards), but the money is worth more to them in mexico. Same rationale that several people retire to other countries where their money goes farther.

WOW.. if you think even a small minority of these people pay any kind of tax you are sorely mistaken... almost all are on a cash basis... you see day laborers hanging around all over... and in fact, Houston has built a couple (I heard they want to build another) day laborer 'parks'... where they can hang out and get picked up without standing in front of the local 7-11 or school or whatever...
