States: “Help Us, Criminal Illegals Swamp Budgets, Prisons”

The General Accounting Office estimates that as of 2009 there were currently about 350,000 criminal aliens in U.S. prisons, “the majority from Mexico.” At $30,000 per year, per inmate, that’s $11 billion annually, with most of the costs born by the states.

While not all of the criminal aliens are here illegally, criminal illegals are putting a strain on budgets, especially in the states with large illegal immigration populations such as Arizona, Colorado, California, Florida, New York, and Texas.

Not coincidentally, many of those same states are facing the largest budget shortfalls for fiscal year 2011 and 2012, including New York and California. Some estimate state budget shortfalls of over $100 billion in 2012 across state governments in the U.S.

In California, it’s estimated that prisoners who are illegal immigrants cost the state at least $1 billion per year just to keep them in prison.

Just imagine how that impacts on the allocation of Congressional districts, federal funding, etc.

I am sure they are all Sanctuary Cities...what else would you expect?

"Unauthorized immigrants are a part of our communities. They're not just in a few pockets," said demographer Laura Hill,...

Unauthorized now used to depict ILLEGAL ALIENS now, eh?

[ScottinVA]

States that have sanctuary policies should not get one nickle of federal funding for crime prevention, prisons or anything else affected by high numbers of illegals.

They want to welcome these border jumpers.. let them welcome them on their OWN nickel.

Ping!

Illegal immigrants make up 12 percent of the population in wine-growing Napa County

They've infested my sleepy, once-pleasant former neighborhood and turned it into a crime-ridden 'hood. Makes me sick.

[ScottinVA]

Several other studies have found the state's illegal immigrant population, estimated at 2.6 million last year, to be steady or dropping even as it rises in Texas, Florida, North Carolina and other Southern states.

...as they broaden their vision of Aztlan.

Now if they know where they are why can’t they deport them?

Study finds half million illegal immigrants in Bay Area

I hope this is not a shock to anyone!! The last time I was in the LA area, I thought I might need a passport to get back into AZ.

“They’re not just in a few pockets” - truer words were never spoken. They are into everyone’s pockets.

[Graybeard58]

If California would magically lose all it's criminal Mexican population, would the state's budget be balanced?

[wolfcreek]
