I don't know if I want terminator touching my produce, I also don't know "how much further" along we actually are as a species. We are on the brink of self-inflicted extinction, the Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines never had to worry about that.
Let's assume your numbers are correct: 10 billion dollars cost by the illegals. They're consuming resources and not paying into the system. That's the argument, right?
Solution: legalize the illegals, then let them pay taxes. The 10 billion that they are consuming in services will now be recovered in the form of taxes.
You've just cut the deficit by half.
Outstanding! Reward illegality and lawlessness and give even more of them an incentive to overcrowd the country, suck up its resources and spawn still more to drown the schools and the rest of the infrastructure.

That's wise!
"Illegality" is a human concoction. Nothing that enlightened legislators can't change. Don't get too hung up on labels. Laws change all the time.
Let the "illegals" pay their way by making them legal, and start collecting taxes. You'll see the deficit cut substantially.

I'll legalize them on the condition that they register with the government, take no social services for 15 years, and get deported in a heartbeat (no lengthy appeals) upon conviction of a felony or their second misdemeanor. Anyone found in this country illegally gets 20 years in a prison camp in the desert before being deported. Deal?
