The lifetime costs of Social Security and Medicare benefits of illegal immigrant beneficiaries of President Obama’s executive amnesty would be well over a trillion dollars, according to Heritage Foundation expert Robert Rector’s prepared testimony for a House panel obtained in advance by Breitbart News.
Rector, a senior research fellow at Heritage, is slated to speak on the costs of Obama’s executive amnesty Tuesday before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He will testify to the high entitlement costs of granting legal status to millions of illegal immigrants.
Based on Rector’s calculations, which assume that at least 3.97 illegal immigrants would apply for and receive legal status under Deferred Action for Parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents (DAPA), and that the average DAPA beneficiary would have a 10th grade education, the costs would be immense.
Specifically, in 2010 dollars, the lifetime costs of Social Security benefits to DAPA beneficiaries would be about $1.3 trillion.
He further estimates that DAPA recipients would $7.8 billion each year once they have access to the refundable Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the refundable Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). Further, the retroactive costs of the EITC and ACTC— current IRS policy will allow amnesty recipients to claim up to three years of tax benefits for illegal work — Rector expects to be as high as $23.5 billion.
The Heritage expert notes that DAPA eligible families are already able to claim certain welfare benefits — such as food stamps, Medicaid, and Women, Infants and Children program (WIC) — on behalf of their U.S.-born children...

Oh yes! Absolutely.

If the electorate is unwilling to put you in power, just replace it with another.
The same trick will get used against them, with even more destructive results.

I certainly know Wisconsin can't afford a $26 billion price tag.

Knowing these coming costs, why then are some ‘conservative’ governors refusing to take a principled stand against the Chamber of Amnesty and demanding action NOW against the Cheap Labor Express that is running freely in their states?

Thanks for the link :)
It truly is perplexing that Conservatives would shill for governors like this. For these faux-conservative governors, it’s all about money and power. You know it, I know it, but what can be done? Educate, Debate, Grassroot activism, Vote. And I cannot wait to vote for Cruz!
Join the NFIB, and let your local Chamber know that the National Chamber is about to cost them your membership. Like the Boy Scouts, the Chamber needs an enema at the national level.
I agree. I think at the local level conservatives can make the biggest impact on politics nationwide. Boycotts and buycotts are a very valuable tool in our political arsenal.
Thank God we can still enslave future generations in perpetual debt to pay for our stupidity.
