making sense of HR 4437

I'm really tired of the racism embedded in a lot of the right-wing reactionary spew, but I'm also tired of the left ignoring the real and actual negative impact illegal immigration can have on taxpayers. In an effort to help myself understand what's up with all this, I found a few resources which I hope will help illuminate the matter fairly.
