KFI:
A new study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) reveals that illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers a whopping $116 billion a year.
$116 billion! That’s money from federal, state, and local taxpayers. Money out of your wallet. Here’s some info from FAIR’s press release on the study:
“Illegal immigration to the U.S. costs federal, state and local taxpayers a staggering net cost of $116 billion a year – an increase of some $16 billion compared to previous estimates – according to a new study released by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The study is the most comprehensive to date on the cost to federal, state and local taxpayers of the nation’s 12.5 million illegal immigrants and their 4.2 million citizen children.

And your Congresscritters allow it to happen!
What would Cortez do ?
Sheesh. We could wall off California with that kinda cash.
And thats not even calculating the costs of disease spread or theft. These beaners are racking up quite a bar tab.
Illegal immigrants cost “x” amount of taxpayer dollars, and/or illegal immigrants generate “y” amount of benefit. We are missing the point – they broke US laws in coming here and in staying here.
Most illegal immigrants come here to escape a hellish life in their native country. I get that. But we need to either change our immigration laws or enforce the laws we have – there is no middle ground.
The actual number is probably much higher than that, there are in excess of 50 million illegal aliens in the United States. they don’t come here to be parasites, but that is the way it ends up.
Here again they are guessing at the number of illegals. For 30 years it was 11 million. Now if those 11 million had kids, and those kids had kids, and their kids had kids how many illegals is it really? I would guess at least 30 million hillary voters.
Time to abolish birthright citizenship.
if the illegals don’t pay taxes, why should I ?
And that’s just in stolen cars smuggled south of the border.
The $116 (or $135 billion according to another study) is peanuts compared to the property loss, felonies, murders and lost lives due to the drugs smuggled in from Mexico. Build the wall and put up a DMZ a tight as the one on the Korean border.
