I just checked the factcheck site but they offer no figures themselves which seems strange.
Negative criticism is easy and everybody can do it all day but digging for facts actually requires a lot of work.
None of the links in the article in question are dead either.
Let’s say that the amount that illegal aliens are costing the US is not half a trillion but just 3/4 or even 1/2 of that, would you then think that illegal immigration should be contained and that millions of illegals should be first deprived of all the economic rights that they didn’t pay for and then deported?
The huge majority of Americans support the Arizona law.
Do you?

Hollywood sound editor eh? I guess since his industry likely doesn’t have as much of a need for immigrants as other Cali industries then he’d obvious be anti-illegal. The sad thing is even a very basic google search will reveal his numbers to be highly questionable http://www.factcheck.org/2009/04/cost-of-illegal-immigrants/
Even CATO routinely cites studies or opines that illegal immigration is good for the US. Consider me mildly surprised you endorse such a shoddy post.
