Any suggestions on how to weed out the undesirables, the criminals,
the drug smugglers, the murderers and rapists, those carrying TB and
other third world diseases (note the dramatic increase in TB in the
border states) and so forth?

Btw...most migrants DO pay SS. Even if they have a forged SS card.
They just cant collect. Well..until Presidente Fox's plan to allow
migrants to collect SS when they go back to Mexico, is carried out.

Then all that money is lost and not put back into the US economy.

"Don't worry, even if you are in the United States illegally it is
still possible to "live the good life". Yes, you can receive welfare
benefits, thanks to something called PRUCOL (Permanently Residing Under
Color of Law).

PRUCOL

PRUCOL was created not by the voter and legislation, but by the courts.
When an alien is designated as PRUCOL, it means that they are illegal
but can still stay. Because the illegal alien can stay they have the
same rights as if they were legal. The real difference is that a PRUCOL
cannot apply for U.S. citizenship.

The good news is that a PRUCOL can't sponsor any family members.

WHO IS GIVEN PRUCOL STATUS?

Plainly put, illegal aliens are PRUCOLs if they are illegals and the
INS allows them to stay in the U.S..

HOW IS PRUCOL DETERMINED?

If somehow you have been able to escape capture as an illegal alien and
have been able to give birth to a US citizen, or be so debilitated that
you can collect SSI or for other health reasons, or had somehow
illegally obtained a job and got laid off or fired and have benefits
coming to you or you are in the process of filing complaints to obtain
such benefits:

(1) Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC)

(2) Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

(3) Medicaid

(4) Unemployment Insurance

Each PRUCOL criterion is handled by a different federal and / or state
agency.

So if you are an alien who has been here for more than twenty years, or
have been granted a stay of deportation by the courts, or are not being
deported because you have U.S. citizen children, or you are just not
going to be deported ( a Salvadoran or a Cuban for example) you can go
on with this sometimes for the rest of your natural life. "
