Illegal immigration costs American taxpayers $116 billion annually, according to a new report published by the Washington, D.C.-based Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). Illegal aliens presence in the United States has long been debated. Advocates claim that many do jobs Americans won’t and that the services they perform grow the economy.

Indeed, a sizable body of evidence indicates that all immigration, legal and illegal, grows the overall GDP. But more important, high, sustained immigration levels have a dramatically negative effect on per capita GDP, one reason why income inequality has increased nationwide. Immigration adds more poor to the population.

Titled The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers, the FAIR study™s introduction states that the federal governments failed efforts to secure the nation€™s borders have created a severely negative impact on the American taxpayers at the local, state and national levels: €œIllegal aliens are net consumers of taxpayer-funded services and the limited taxes paid by some segments of the illegal alien population are, in no way, significant enough to offset the growing financial burdens imposed on U.S. taxpayers by massive numbers of uninvited guests.

FAIR€™s report concluded that, to cover the aggregate $134.9 billion in costs that 12.5 million illegal aliens and their 4.2 million citizen children generate, taxpayers get stuck with a net $116 billion tab, a tax burden of about $8,075 per illegal alien family member. Illegal immigrants pay about $19 billion in taxes.

The study includes a state-by-state breakdown, and shows that California is the hardest hit with a $23 billion expense. States€™ outlays for education, $44 billion, is the major fiscal drain.

Coincidentally, the FAIR report came out at a time when Congress is, believe it or not, debating four major amnesty bills. One amnesty is for the 800,000 deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACAs); the second is the DREAM Act that would legalize millions; the third, the Succeed Act, also hopes to legalize millions, and finally, Republican House Judiciary Committee Chair Bob Goodlatte, of all people, introduced his Industrial Hemp Farming Act, an agricultural amnesty. The four bills would provide, among other benefits, Social Security numbers and employment authorization documents, valid for life.

The bills come at a time when the nation has a $20 trillion deficit, crumbling infrastructure, widespread urban poverty and crime, and myriad other pressing social problems. Yet Congress is presenting the amnesty bills as urgent, must-pass legislation even though they€™re hurtful to Americans, deeply unpopular in local districts, and over the years, have been repeatedly rejected by voters.

Amnesty bills are unpopular for the simplest reason. History has conclusively proven that amnesty begets more illegal immigration. Legislators promised that the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act would mark illegal immigrations end that was 12.5 million illegal immigrants ago.

Cynically, none of the four amnesty bills working their way through Congress have E-Verify provisions that would protect American workers, and discourage costly illegal immigration. While Congress pontificates endlessly about wanting to help struggling Americans, behind closed doors they’re plotting to displace citizens from their jobs, and as the FAIR report demonstrates, add significantly to their tax liability.

The four amnesties represent the nadir in swamp politics.

Sicilianthing, I think that your estimate is wrong. Does it take into account the value of the work these immigrants do?

NO Deal

I do not care about any value of any work they do... they are here Illegally Flat OUT.
There are 106million Unemployed American Born Natural Citizens of the Land looking for jobs... and we have Loser Traitor RAT Companies, officials and groups trying to employ and shelter illegal Scum over Americans?

Are you outta your mind ?

What part do you not understand ?
Where did you take the left turn ?

Most of them contribute nothing which outweighs the few...

I no longer care, they can Get the PHUCK OUT !

Bevos

And what work is that?? Are you talking about the jobs they STEAL from AMERICANS???

Sicilianthing

>>>>>>

Bullseye !

And the work creating bastard children here (with their ignorant 3rd world illegal baby makers, anchor scumbag babies) who mostly turn into gang bangers, criminals and leeches...?

Bshaw

Illegal means not legal so why do they keep trying to find ways to make it okay for them to be here ?

Salty doesn’t understand the idea of enforcing our laws and having a Nation by borders in any form.

It’s just a JollyJackOff CircleJerker FreeForAll at the Border for anyone according to Salty

Let's look at this as a family rather than the government. I had been earning $100,000 per year for the last 3 years and had spent $180,000 a year living the good life. Now, I am 2,000,000 in debt, lost my job, and bank account is empty. I feel sorry for the "poor" people and want to make a $1,000,000 donation although I can't afford to buy dinner for the family tonight. Change the numbers to reflect the governments debt, does it make sense to take on more debt to help the "poor" people?? Do you want to know what is wrong with the American public today?? Learn to live within your means!!! If you provide ANY type of amnesty you are rewarding bad behavior!! Would you give a murderer $100,000 because he killed someone, rather than a prison sentence?? Same thing as giving amnesty to someone who is here illegally! EVEN DEMOCRATS AREN'T THAT DUMB!!!

Because libs & team donkey need their votes.

Bevos

VOTES!!! It's ONLY for the VOTES!!! They care NOTHING about ILLEGALS, after they get the VOTE, they are forgotten, just like the Blacks are, and a LOT of them are finally figuring that out!!!

Exactly! Sovereign Nation is NOT in windy's lexicon.

=====================
Not only cost taxpayers $ 116 billion per year. Their ultimate price is taking the US for their Islam god. That is the main goal.
Europe is now 2/3 Islam. Muslims are running their government now, E.g. London.

Muslims elect their own kind. Just like Mexicans.

Once the Muslims in the US multiply, they become the majority, and they'll take over the governance of this country. Gone is the Constitution, replaced by Sharia Law.

Stupid democrats love this? For awhile they'll vote for them. But once they are in the majority, they'll drive all of them out, chop off their heads, unless they convert. But even conversion won't help. They'll enslave those who don't have a the Mohammadan blood.
