From Joe Klein in the latest Time magazine –
A recent study of Arkansas, conducted by the nonpartisan Urban Institute, estimated that immigrants there pay more in Social Security and sales taxes than they cost in social services like health care and education.

Good to see a little bit of actual information being brought to the surface in a debate that mostly deals in prejudice and indifference to human need.
