If you pay taxes, then your government benefits are *not* entirely subsidized. You have bought into a conservative trope that immigrants are not members of our community and do not deserve to get anything, which is why it seems obvious to you that they would be almost entirely subsidized. Live where I do for a little while and you might see it differently. I see lots of immigrants, with different legal statuses, who are working and contributing and part of the community, and who are not "almost entirely subsidized." There's no sophistry here -- you and I apparently have different views about immigrants.
