...to some degree. But to the extent that a working poor legal citizen does? I don't think so. I also don't agree that they don't collect. You're right they wouldn't be eligible for SS or other official benefits; but when they need assistance we are providing it indirectly, which we should.

I understand their motivation for coming. I empathize with them and don't blame them for coming. I wasn't suggesting that they were coming to force anarchy or one world government upon us. They are, however, the only possible outcomes to open borders. It simply can not be sustained. If economic implosion doesn't come first; it will manifest as a social and political explosion. The kind that result in such things as coup d'etats, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and class based strife.
