New research from FAIR estimates the cost of illegal immigration to Arizonans is over $2.7 BILLION annually. FAIR's research shows that K-12 education of the children of illegals costs the state's taxpayers nearly HALF of the total fiscal burden. Other factors included in FAIR's estimate are Medicaid, SCHIP, incarceration, welfare, and general government expenditures. The estimate INCLUDES what illegal aliens contribute in the way of property, sales and income taxes. This tax revenue amounts to $143 MILLION annually, leaving a deficit of MORE than $2.7 BILLION!

That Mexican Pres can kiss my lily white Irish ass.
It won’t be long until some pro illegal either on a network newsshow or evne in here spouts the “ well but they spend money so it offsets their costs.”
Even when you show them they could spend enough to offset the costs they refuse to believe
then they go on to, “ well illegals wouldn’t come if businesses didn’t hire them”
A pregnant wet back in labor isn’t coming to get a job, she is coming to drop an anchor baby and live off it and the gov’t.
Amnesty = Impeachment.
Maybe each time we deport another illegal, we should find out how long they were in this country and bill Mexico for their expenses. Maybe they’ll decide to put up a wall to keep them from crossing!
If only Mexico cared as much about the legal residents as they do about arresting and deporting anyone stupid enough to sneak into Mexico
I think there is something to your idea but I would pay mexico to build the wall, a really high electrified wall. It would be cheaper than taking care of all the illegals and their anchor babies
UNFUNDED MANDATE to my fellow citizens of Arizona, by the Federal Govt., politicians and Judges.
Kindergarten? Puleez, we start taking care of them in utero. We pay for pre-natal care. We pay for child care from the time they pop out to pre-school. That's 5-6 years before Kindergarten. The we deny American citizens' desks in college because libs feel the need to steal those dreams of our kids and give illegals the American dream. By my count, that's at least 22 years of care and education. Double from what the article says.
For simplification of the math, let’s just multiply Arizona’s $2.7 annual illegals expenditures by 50 states. That comes to $135 billion annually.
Hussein thinks Americans shouldn’t worry about them learning English, but that we should teach our kids Spanish.
Ping!
Good observation!
Right - but I’ll say it’s EVERYTHING YOU MENTIONED in the aggregate that has given us the illegal invasion. It has to be fought on EVERY front, from EVERY angle!
Article IV, Section 4., U.S. Constitution:
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall PROTECT EACH OF THEM AGAINST INVASION.”
Dear Mr Calderon;
Instead of coming here and slandering this nation, go home and figure out why million of your citizens are fleeing yours.
This bunch doesn’t care about the Constitution.
Exactly right! Not only are conditions horrible in Mexico for laborers but Calderon loves the present deal: he gets rid of surplus population but gets the benefit of the billions they send back to Mexico every year. And we get — the shaft!
