This will be tens of billions of dollars that will not fix the problem.
It's a problem that does exist, 11% of the American population is illegal. Now add children born in the US. Now factor in the money the Government has to shell out to meet the cost, unemployment, housing, education, healthcare, inner-city problems where Americans are unemployed in the millions.

Will you pay the extra taxes to meet the costs?
