Around here, hospitals must provide treatment to anyone who enters the doors. They worry about payment later. It's kind of a rule they have to abide by to be licensed. I imagine it's the same around where you are.
As for other services, last time I called 911 they didn't do a background check to make sure I wasn't an illegal imigrant before responding.

As for teaching children two languages, well I think it's a good thing. You live on the border of a country with a different native language, you had better expect to be bilingual. Look at schools in Europe. They handle multiple languages.

The original phrase said nothing about teaching children two languages, it was referring to teaching children
in two different languages. I have no problems teaching multiple languages. My nephew was learning Spanish in 4th grade when he lived in Texas. The problem comes when you have to hire additional teachers and pay them to educate students whos parents don't pay taxes. Last time I checked on enrollment, you only had to show proof of residence, not proff on not being an illegal imigrant.

The jobs would still get done. Someone would have to do these jobs.
Usually illegeals will do crap work cheaper than a resident. Production will not come to a screaching halt if illegeals are not around to do the job. Just means companies will have to pay at least minimum wage. The problem is that people who don't pay taxes contribute noting to the communities pocket book, but in many cases use the services they are not paying for.

Let's abandon those values that we were founded on. You've only been to Philly once. Have you been to Ellis Island? Seen the inscription? Now have you been to Mexico? I would rather live in northeast Philly(one of the worst parts) than any place in that poverty-stricken country. Is it any surprise they want in? We've got a spectacular deal, living here. I understand why you want to keep it to yourself.

Give us your downtrodden, your week........hey, I got no problem with that, but do it within the confines of our laws. If people want to move to the US and live here, fine. But, they have to abide by our rules when they do that, including paying taxes, obtaining a SSN, etc, etc.
It seems that your philosophy is to allow anyone to come to the US and live however they want but not give anything back. How can we as a country survive when this happens? What do you propose in this situation, tax our own people more and more? Cut back on services the government provides?
If I'm wrong, please correct me.
