The “copious public goods they leech” is an unknown number, but best estimates suggest it’s a negligible value at most. Research shows that legal immigrants tend to improve the wages of high school-educated Americans, and in fact use fewer welfare resources than low-income natives. It’s very likely that legal immigrant production offsets any drain that illegal immigrants might pose—and it’s possible they pose none.
That's because the majority of legal immigrants receive citizenship based on merit. I'm only (but completely) opposed the asylees receiving citizenship. Engineers, scientists, doctors, tax-reducing millionaires/billionaires, etc, open the floodgates. "Future engineers and doctors", no thanks.
