Your children, grandchildren and probably your great grandchildren will be paying for this.

I'm not sure I understand this. Every analysis I have seen says that most immigrants contribute more in taxes than they cost (especially because they are not eligible for welfare, social security, etc.) and that by the second generation their children become fully 'Americanized'.

I read that to mean they become productive members of society, holding jobs, paying taxes, contributing to their communities.

Do you have a lot of research that says otherwise? (I'd appreciate *actual* research, rather than quotes from radio talk shows and the like. Thanks.)
