You're comparing legal citizens to ILLEGAL. How can you even begin to compare the two?
1. I don't live in Hawaii any more.
2. I saw homeless all the time on Maui. They kick them out of one area, so they have to move to another, which infuriates the police so they kick them out of there, and they have to move to another place, etc.... because the police can't seem to figure out what homeless means. They have nowhere else to go.
3. I currently live in the Bay Area again, and there are Hispanics all around me. I am the minority here.
4. The only differences between a white homeless guy and an illegal Mexican guy....
The Mexican guy wants to work and be a part of the citizenry.
The white homeless citizen dude is a 100% drain on society and doesn't want to work.
The white homeless citizen guy is cool because he has (somewhere) a record of being born here somewhere. The Mexican guy does not.

Which one is the bigger "drain on society" again?

If you hand that Mexican guy from the OP a fresh Green Card, he instantly becomes a working, productive, tax-paying citizen. Hand the homeless white citizen guy a Green Card, he will sell it on the street within 10 minutes to buy another bottle of Thunderbird.
