A fight has erupted over the costs of granting amnesty to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in America, with the White House claiming the cash benefits to the Treasury are huge and will slash the deficit, and critics showing it will cost Americans more and increase the deficit.
The White House late Thursday dispatched an email to President Obama's campaign supporters that provided a video claiming that immigration reform will result in a 5.4 percent growth in GDP as "highly skilled" workers and "entrepreneurs" add to the country's economic base. No mention was made of low-skilled workers, the bulk of illegal immigrants in the country.
"Here's one of the best things about immigration reform: It's going to make our economy a lot stronger," said the White House. "Not enough people are talking about the economic benefits of immigration reform, but it's exactly the conversation that will help us win the national debate on this issue."
Critics are pushing back hard, led by the Heritage Foundation. Among the key points: reform supporters suggest that immigrants will suddenly be paying taxes when they become legal, but that's already happening.
Heritage is highlighting a chart that details the taxes paid and government services received by all Americans, including illegal immigrants. It shows that after amnesty, immigrants will cost governments $12,433 in benefits over the taxes they pay per year. Over a lifetime of an adult illegal granted amnesty, the difference between benefits received and taxes paid would be a cost to taxpayers of $592,000.
Buried in a report from Robert Rector, the conservative foundation's authority on poverty, welfare programs and immigration, the chart details taxes paid and benefits received by households headed by an illegal immigrant and how that will change after amnesty is granted.

Ping.
stop Amnesty. no bill at all from the House. any bill can be merged with the Senate Amnesty bill.

Only chance to stop the Amnesty bill is for the House not to consider any immigration related bill at all.
Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.
Tell them to stop all Amnesty or immigration bills.they are all trojan horse bills. some will promise border security that will never be enforced anyway.
Bachmann explained it . The House will write a border security bill only . then in conference the senate will add the virus and then bring it back to the house. then the conservatives won’t vote for it but democrats will all vote for it so then they only need 10% of republicans to pass Amnesty and the virus that will destroy America. so any bill at all will be added the virus . so best thing is for Boner to not let any immigration bill at all come out of the House. that is the only hope . call boner and the members of the House.
Tom Tancredo echos what Michelle Bachmann said.

Multiply this by a factor of 25 million.
If the benefits of US citizenship are SO attractive for illegals, why does the process have to be LEGISLATED to legalize them!??
Why don’t they just come here under the existing laws and get themselves on the books legally?
“O” is full of it!
Amendment forcing that to be paid for by import tariffs on Mexico.
A simple way to get some actual sampling data is to grant a limited number of green cards to the illegals on the top of the scale in exchange for deportation of an equal number on the bottom of the scale.
Green cards go to top candidates actually paying taxes and showing demonstrated evidence of assimilation, such as learning English.
Deportations go to those on the bottom showing demonstrated evidence of criminal activity, gang membership and chronic wards of the state.
We keep the best as we get rid of the worst and work for some equilibrium in between.
But La Raza won't permit it. Neither will the Democrats. And the cheap labor lobby is less than enthusiastic about such a solution.
This is why they insist on a "comprehensive" solution which means nobody gets deported. And that type of solution is exactly why you will attract more illegal immigration which will make even the most pessimistic cost estimates balloon.
The WH goon says "....one of the best things about immigration reform: It's going to make our economy a lot stronger." "Not enough people are talking about the economic benefits, but it's the conversation that will help us win the national debate on this issue."
IMPRESSIVE ISN'T IT?---THIS KNOW-NOTHING IS NEVER RETICENT ABOUT SHOWING HIS STUPIDITY --all of this sounds like the stupid argument he made for Obamacare----now those "wonderful benefits" are about to collapse from sheer incompetence WRT their unworkability.
NOW LET'S GO MEET OBAMA'S LEGALIZED CITIZENS --- educated, housed, clothed, fed, transported, medicated, drugged-up, armed, and ready--al w/ your tax dollars)
Vote-crazed Dems will be handing out tax dollars in exchange for latino votes like there's no tomorrow.
LYING IN WAIT FOR OUR TAX DOLLARS---THESE IMPOVERISHED COUNTRIES CURRENTLY HAVE ORGANIZED PRESSURE GROUPS INSIDE THE US (here illegally): Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico (stateside)l Salvador, Spain, Uruguay, Venezuela.
EXAMPLE: The corrupt Dominican Republic provides no safety nets for its impoverished citizens but encourages immigration to the US----Dominican illegals here send back home a billion dollars per year which the corrupt Dominican federales consider a prime source of govt income. (Info Source: Dominican travel brochure.)
We’re ALREADY paying those kinds of numbers to the BULK of the inner-city tribal parasites NOW.....Dependency is the only income they’ve known for 4 generations, and they still get their Obamaphones, on top of all the cash and benefits!
Fewer people are buying liberal lies than before... guess it's better late than never.
