Illegals Cost North Carolina 2 Billion a Year

Earlier this month, I reported that illegals cost Ohio taxpayers nearly $900 million a year, and those figures were based on numbers from a couple years ago meaning the figure is higher now. In 2010, it was estimated that there were at least 110,000 illegals living in Ohio. Five years later that figure has surely increased as the Obama administration continues to welcome future Democratic illegal voters.

I also reported that illegals cost Maryland taxpayers $1.9 billion a year. Like Ohio, that figure is based upon information a couple years old which means they are quickly approaching the $2 billion mark. In 2010, it was estimated that there were 295,000 illegals living in Maryland. Five years later the number of illegals in Maryland should easily exceed 300,000.

Now it’s time to share with you the impact illegals have on North Carolina. In 2010, it was estimated that there were 410,000 illegals living in the Tar Hell state. That figure is most likely approaching 450,000 illegals by now. The cost burden for North Carolina taxpayers is $2 billion a year.

Over half of the $2 billion goes to providing a FREE education for the illegals. That encompasses grades K-12 along with the supplemental English language instructions they require. The rest of costs are for healthcare, public assistance (welfare, food stamps, etc.), general government services and law enforcement/judicial matters.

It is estimated that North Carolina collects around $288 million in taxes (city, county and state) a year. That still leaves the state with a deficit of over $1.7 billion a year. Consider the fact that the budget for the 2014 fiscal year was only $20.6 billion and according to the North Carolina Justice Center:

“Although the 2014 budget exceeds last year’s in overall dollars, it still falls short of what was needed to maintain current service levels in 4 of the 6 major budget areas, including the K-12 system.”

The cost of illegals totals nearly 10% of the total state budget. Imagine what North Carolina could do with the nearly $2 billion illegals are costing them. I suspect they could meet the educational needs of the state’s legal citizens.

So far I’ve looked at just three states that face a combined cost of over $4.8 billion a year to take care of Obama’s illegals. Liberals claim that illegals don’t have a negative impact on our nation and strongly disagree with them. In addition to the financial cost, illegals rob, beat, molest, rape and murder thousands of Americans every year. They take jobs away from America citizens who desperately want to provide for their families. They bring contagious diseases with them and provide a pathway by which potential terrorists are entering our nation.

Illegal immigration is a threat to America in many different ways and needs to be stopped and reversed YESTERDAY. Build a wall like the one in Yuma or Israel and station US troops along the border. Have our military protect America instead of other nations. We are under attack and we’re losing the war.

No,no,no! We keep being told repeatedly by the liberals that illegals contribute far more(to the deomonrat voting base) than they take from the legal taxpayer.

[jsanders2001]

They’re banrupting the whole nation. Wait till they run the numbers on population explosion in America due to illegal immigration and see we are heading towards a billion and that only 10 % are paying any taxes and getting wealthier in the process. Their heads are going to explode...

Another social engineering project funded by the Federal Reserve with printed money, debt and manipulated interest rates in the support of progressive political goals.

The cost of illegals is a crippling financial burden, but the impact of their presence on our society is inestimable.

Disease; criminality; unnecessary health, criminal, educational and societal burdens; and dire political consequences abound. By choking our schools, tearing through our societies entitlement system, affecting our legal process, and affecting our politicians and elections for want of an illegal vote, they have immeasurably harmed us. They are, in fact, invaders armed with the most grievous weapon of all - our compassion.

In return we get protest, anger, bile and hatred. They grab their crotches and give us the finger. They will never assimilate; they will never be traditional Americans. They want to turn our country into the same third world shithole they are comfortable with in their mother country.

Privatize the profits, socialize the costs.

The illegal labor lobby, CofC, cheap labor express, and free trader crowd will be along shortly to set you stupid nationalists straight.

What's sad is that the bastards don't even try to hide their contempt and disdain of the American people. To these globalist clowns, the US is just another country to conquer and bleed dry.

[Blue Turtle]

Very well said/written. That nails it.

[Chode]

and to think it wasn't that long ago Carolina's biggest problems were white liquor and pot...

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well the total is estimated at $130 Billion per year. God only knows what its costing us in GA. Even with our strict immigration law we have a gazillion illegals walking around. Although a lot of them did flee to NC. :-)

In return we get protest, anger, bile and hatred. They grab their crotches and give us the finger.

Yet our evil media keep telling us they are wonderful, hardworking people with family values, just cowering in the shadows. Every time I see an article about "poor, poor so-and-so, who just came here for a better life and is suffering so because of this evil, racist country," I could just spit. Where are the stories about Americans raped, killed, whose jobs were lost, schools ruined, got diseases, etc.? It's like nobody cares.
