Well, does it not piss you the hell off that you are paying for freeloaders in our system, who leech and do not pay back? I mean, fair work begets fair wages! Sure! I am all for that! But sucking away money from the masses on the backs of the masses = theft in my head.
I guess I disagree with the premise that immigrants leech from the system without contributing. There's a lot of groups out there putting out misinformation (CIS, FAIR, and a few other offshoots with eugenics roots that try to pass off as legitimate).

Description
The Economic and Fiscal Consequences of Immigration finds that the long-term impact of immigration on the wages and employment of native-born workers overall is very small, and that any negative impacts are most likely to be found for prior immigrants or native-born high school dropouts. First-generation immigrants are more costly to governments than are the native-born, but the second generation are among the strongest fiscal and economic contributors in the U.S. This report concludes that immigration has an overall positive impact on long-run economic growth in the U.S.
