Illegal aliens cost billions more by:
1. leaching off of our hospitals and social service programs
2. committing additional crimes and taking up jail space
3. alien children, anchor baby education
4. taking jobs from Americans and depressing wages.
Funny how reliably liberal cnn never mentions this
Hi Rosemont -
Have you ever heard this “illegals pay billions” argument? There seems to be only pure speculation in this article. If true it may be the reason ICE and the feds are ignoring illegal immigration. The blind eye approach has always baffled me.
Amen to that statement Rosemont.
Yep, they cost billions. Plus there are many, many costs that are not measured in dollar amounts.
I don’t care how much money illegals pump into the system. It could be 1000 times more than that estimated figure, and my stance would remain the same. They’re here illegally. Therefore they need to get out. Period.
I don’t remember where I originally found this:
- $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
- $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally
- $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens
- $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services
- $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.
The National Policy Institute estimated that, “the total cost of mass deportation would be between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.”
