From what I've read, the reason for this is that illegal immigrants don't have valid Social Security numbers, so when they apply for a job they make up a Social Security number or steal someone's, causing problems for that person. If they weren't here illegally, they wouldn't have that problem, would they?
The feds could fix that problem by a few more crackdowns on illegal immigrants and the companies that hire them, but I don't see Obama doing a whole lot about that either.

Nope, I went to private school so you didn't pay for my education. This is relevant because you said you are against letting more legal immigrants in the country because they won't get paid enough thus you would subsidize their health care. So you are against giving help to others but you are perfectly fine receiving it for your own family. And that makes you a hypocrite. If you were truly against government subsidies you would put your own kids in private school.
Also illegal immigrants are propping up social security to the tune of $7 billion a year not to mention what they pay into medicare. Many of them also pay taxes but don't file for refunds giving another surplus of tax revenue. Cracking down on illegal immigration would actually hurt this country in the form of less tax revenue, more legal costs, less low paid workers (hence rising costs of goods).
I'll be the first to admit that there are portions of the economy that get hurt by illegal immigrants but I also know there are many parts the benefit. Will you admit the same?
