Letters such as the one written by Mark Jaworowski highlight the selective reading of facts ["Stafford must get tough on illegal immigration," Feb. 19].
This month, the Institute for Fiscal Analysis released a study indicating that millions ($378 million-$453 million) in revenue is provided to Virginia by undocumented immigrants.
Of course, it would be interesting to read what they allegedly cost, but it does shed light on one thing: Everyone makes a contribution, good or bad. Rarely is the argument "They took my job," "They don't pay taxes," or "They won't learn English" relevant.
Some won't learn English, not all. Just as some won't read the facts, not all.
