Colorado Could Turn Budget Deficit Into Surplus If Illegal Aliens Deported

A new poll shows that 61% of Coloradans want a copy of Arizona’s law allowing law enforcement to investigate those they encounter who exhibit reasonable suspicion of being an illegal alien.

A recent study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform discovered that illegal aliens cost Colorado taxpayers more than $1.1 billion per year, or about $612 per household. Additionally, between $730 million and $1 billion per year of wages paid to illegal aliens is sent out of the country instead of being reinvested in local communities.

More than 10% of the students in Colorado public schools are the children of illegal aliens, costing the taxpayers $11,000 each per year, for an annual total of $925 million. Another $68 million per year is spent on programs for ‘limited English students’, who are mostly the children of illegal aliens. These costs do not include the costs to the federal government incurred by illegal aliens in the Colorado public education system.

Illegal aliens cost Colorado taxpayers $82 million per year. This does not include the health care costs which are charged to the federal government or the higher premiums paid by Coloradans to help cover costs incurred by illegal aliens in Colorado.

Colorado taxpayers pay $38 million per year to incarcerate illegal aliens in Colorado. This estimate only covers a small portion of the cost of criminal aliens to Colorado.

The minimum cost of $1.1 billion per year to the Colorado budget due to illegal aliens is double the current Colorado budget deficit of $560.7 million. If illegal aliens left the state of Colorado, this $560.7 budget deficit would turn into a surplus of about the same amount. One suspects that the percentage of Coloradans in favor of enacting an Arizona-style law would be even higher, if these figures were widely known.

Now run those numbers in California.

[jerry557]

Probably would be the case in every state.

But politicians dont want balanced budgets...they want votes.

[wiggen]

Its not like we here have been saying this for just about forever.Libs hate numbers because it ruins their fantasy.

[Humal]

“Libs hate numbers because it ruins their fantasy.”

You are right here, and that’s probably why there won’t be a federal budget this year.

Libs hate numbers because it ruins their fantasy.

The accounting equation is an absolute B!+ch for Dem/Socialist.

They violate it while exposing us to ":Moral Hazard" i.e. CRDA and Fannie and Freddie and by looking the other way essentially to the unfunded liabilities of illegals living here.

Numbers destroy their arguments of their great society visions and what they think they are entitled too.

A great example is when the UAW leaders had a major sit down with former GM CEO Rick Waggoner about 18 months before GM went belly up. They were given the full masacree and they come out of the meeting saying nothing and looking very grim by press accounts and the pictures I got to see.

[monocle]

States should sue the federal government for the costs attributable to illegal immigrants. The federal government’s failure to enforce its own immigration laws is is the primary factor in most states’ budget deficits.

[calcowgirl]

Now run those numbers in California.

Operating deficit, $5 billion. Cost of illegal immigration, $10 billion+

Indicated surplus, $5 billion+

[bigredkitty1]

As I was driving home last night, I saw two trucks with Illinois license plates, loaded down with what looked to be all their worldly possessions. The drivers and passengers all appeared to be of Mexican descent and appeared to be driving south...hopefully BACK to Mexico. Just the threat of immigration enforcement causes illegals to self-deport. If more states follow Arizona’s lead, we will have far fewer illegal aliens to deport.

Texas State Rep. Burnham out of Tyler has said he will introduce an Arizona-style immigration law for the Texas Legislature’s next session. Gov. Goodhair may not like it, but ask any tax paying Texan and they do.

[kabar]

Now run those numbers in California.

Below is an estimate of the fiscal cost per state of local expenditures for education of the children of illegal aliens, emergency medical care and incarceration. It should be kept in mind that these three program areas represent only a fraction of the total program costs associated with illegal residents, and they represent only local costs, not national costs.6 The total costs to the local communities could be as much as double the amount shown depending upon the extent to which this population is allowed to access other social services. In addition these estimates do not attempt to include the costs associated with services provided to Americans who are unemployed, underemployed, or working for depressed wages associated with illegal workers.

2010--$17.8 billion

[Liz]

A minimum of $1.1 billion per year is added to the Colorado budget due
to illegal aliens.......which is double the current Colorado budget deficit........

[kabar]

See post #14.

[Gene Eric]

>> But politicians dont want balanced budgets...they want votes.

That would make a great tag line.

[Liz]

This sign--more than anything---has turned the tide against illegals.
Especially among people suckered-in by the "here for a better life" scam.

Why didn't Calderon whine about that when he addressed Congress?
Guess he knew he would not get a standing ovation (/snix).

Do you have a different link?

I want to send this to some of my friends in Colorado, but this link isn’t working.

Thanks,

Many demands on our govt services would go with them.

So, get rid of the illegals and Colorado gets a $2 billion dollar raise. Not to mention lower crime and unemployment. What are you waiting for Colorado?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Dayem!!!!

[stephenjohnbanker]

They were in Phoenix with their CPUSA/LaRaza signs for about 2 hours of photo ops. Very quiet, no trouble(didn’t dare, this ain’t L.A.) then left.

I hope the Repubs run this and similar statements in the campagnes for all canidates. It will be fun to watch the Dems spew pretzil logic while arguing against this.

[VRW Conspirator]

They [protesters] were in Phoenix with their CPUSA/LaRaza signs for about 2 hours.

CPUSA? I knew it! This organized crap had commie agitation written all over it. The Commies (and Fascists) MO is to divide the people by any means and turn the divided against each other. Adds a whole new meaning to community organizer.

[Liz]

Looks like they’re beginning to realize Americans are not gonna take their crap anymore.

As FReeper dennisw posted: they think we Americans are dumb and not paying attention to the national business b/c we are laid-back and conduct ourselves discreetly.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yeah, Marxist-thug “organizer”

Obama left that part out.

Look at the sign in post 18. Two CPUSA gals were there early making these signs.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” As FReeper dennisw posted: they think we Americans are dumb and not paying attention to the national business b/c we are laid-back and conduct ourselves discreetly. “

The laid back part was up until now. For those of you that don’t know Arizona, the discussions overheard in Starbucks, centers around going to war, not baseball.

[dennisw]

The worse the economy gets the less laid back Americans are going to be. The more anti-illegals they are going to be. Arizona would not have, could not have passed these anti-illegal immigrant laws a few years ago during the real estate boom that gave jobs to many illegals. But now that their services are no longer needed but Arizona is left with the crime and welfare burdens.... This all became overwhelming so the anti-illegal alien laws passed. A side benefit is less money will be spent on schools when the illegal aliens leave with their broods

[stephenjohnbanker]

” A side benefit is less money will be spent on schools when the illegal aliens leave with their broods “

We have had school closings too.

[dennisw]

I’ll bet a few bi-lingual teachers are out of jobs too. (sob sob...I’m tearing up)

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Even better ;-)

[stephenjohnbanker]

Did you two know that we closed all courses that “favors one race over another” in the public schools?

Yeah baby!

No more black liberation studies

No more LaRaza/hispanic studies.

Teachers who taught these courses must show competence in another area of study,and placed there, or they are fired.

[Liz]

We closed all public schools courses that “favor one race over another” in the.....no more black liberation studies....no more LaRaza/hispanic studies.

Oh good----I'm getting tired of this "Pay-Me-I'm-a-Victim" mentality.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I’m certain that we are the only state to do this. It took real balls! ;-)

[Tennessee Nana]

Way ta go, CO

:)

[calcowgirl]

Thanks. Interesting overall report.
(Source: http://www.cis.org/california-education)

They need to do a report that includes stats/charts on deficits.

[ridesthemiles]

There is another hidden cost of the illegal intruders:

Your insurance costs.

My premiums for my vehicles are 38%++ just for ‘uninsured motorists’.
Despite laws here in Nevada that state you cannot have your registration unless you can prove insurance, those costs keep rising.

I have lived in 3 other states. NEVER have I paid so much for ‘uninsured motorists’.

I suspect that home owners insurance is also impacted,
between break ins & ‘accidents’ on your property.

Look at your vehicle insurance where you live & do the calculations for yourself. How much of YOUR insurance is for ‘uninsured motorists”????

[dragnet2]

Deport them all.

You kidding? Our government at all levels has more allegiance to illegal aliens than legitimate law abiding Americans.

No joke.

[apocalypto]

I have been saying this all along: deport the illegal aliens.

[HiJinx]

Ping!
