You can't give money to illegals without it coming from some other pot. Government spending does not help the economy. It does not produce one more car or one more pound of hamburger.The welfare collectors would now have less to spend. They do spend that money at businesses. Those businesses would now have lower sales. That is bad for an economy.
the taxpayers would have more to spend. The amount would more than compensate for the reduction in wefare. Furthermore, productive members of society would be spending the money rather than useless ticks.
So you are claiming there would be a tax break too? So much for balancing the budget. The bush tax cuts didn't do much for the economy.
Even without any tax cut, government spending would decline, that means less government borrowing and therefore more money available to loan to privates businesses and consumers.
I don't think there is a lack of loans slowing the economy. Lowering consumer spending however would slow the economy.
Private spending is better.
