Record $135 billion a year for illegal immigration, average $8,075 each, $25,000 in NY
The Washington Examiner ^ | Sept 27, 2017 | Paul Bedard

The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet.

And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion.

State and local governments are getting ravaged by the costs, at over $88 billion. The federal government, by comparison, is getting off easy at $45 billion in costs for illegals.

Ignored are the diseases they brought in.

But, of course, the Congress cannot be bothered
with that, or anything else, because THEY ARE EXEMPT.

The Yakima valley is full of migrant workers. Every payday the banks, check cashing stores, and other plsces that cash pay checks, are packed with these folks getting money orders to send home. So their impact on the local community is very little with the exception of grocery stores, mini marts, liquor stores and weed shops.

We’re paying for the invasion of our own country.

Tillis, Flake, McCain, Grahamnesty, Hatch, and many others are responsible for this.

True. They’re costing us way more than what’s being admitted.

One of the HUGE #RustyIronies of history is the morphing of the Democrats from the (alleged) “party of the little guy” to the party of the (self-anointed “elite”) mega-rich. Democrats now have only contempt for those they once (claimed) to represent. Seeing they have lost the blue collar working class (who voted Trump NOT GOP), they now must import new voters... the less educated, lower skilled and dependent on welfare the better, to keep them in power. These “new” mega-rich Democrats see the country (and world) as a giant Old-South plantation, in which they live in the mansions and we (serfs at best slaves at worst) shall subsist on “trickle down” rations in the mud huts... near every aspect of our lives controlled (lest we harm THEIR Earth). It’s pure POISON!

Illegal immigration is a cheap labor pool subsidized by the US tax payer for the benefit of small business and the elites.

The Chamber of Cronys approves of this message.

Not just cheap labor. With taxpayers fleeing the state, NYS needs warm bodies. We keep losing House seats to depopulation. Rumor has it were gonna lose 1 to 2 more after the next census. Which is why the ‘Rats and RINOs running this Charlie foxtrot want the illegals.

Don’t leave that vulgar W Bush out of the list.

W Bush is the one that opened “training centers” south of the Rio to instruct would-be “immigrants” on how to apply for welfare.

BTW - Goldman Sachs approved.

Yup. Same with a lot of African migrants. One Indian family is working for the Navy. Built his future home in India dirt cheap. Don’t know when they’ll be heading back.

I bet they are all abortionists, too. Biblical consequence for nationally legalized child sacrifice (king ordained at the time) is, is, invasion and eventually conquest (Babylonians).

Using the numbers this article uses, that amounts to only 16,718,266 illegals in the USA.

I say BS. There are far more.

Well 17 million is closer than the propaganda number of 11-12 million.

Lets do some math:

using the following:
60 seconds in a minute
60 minutes in an hour
24 hours in a day
365 days average in a year

60 X 60 == 3600 seconds
3600 X 24=== 86,400 seconds
86,400 X 365 == 31,536,000 seconds

Divine $135,000,000,000 (135 Billion) by 31,536,000 & you get:

$4,280.82 being spent on illegals in the USA EVERY SECOND!!

That is beyond disgusting...that is obscene & grounds for a major change.

Rough math says that $135 billion is about $1000 PER taxpayer.

What kind of economic difference could that make to every American taxpayer???

There are other costs:

When I lived in So Calif, I bought the ONLY brand new car I have ever owned: a 1965 Pontiac Catalina station wagon. The cost of Uninsured motorist insurance was $1 a month.

That amount rose somewhat thru the years. By 1993, when I moved to N Calif- my vehicle insurance for uninsured motorist was about 15% of the premium.

I moved to N Nevada in 2005. My uninsured vehicle insurance was 33 ++% of my premium. I asked the agent why-—”24 Hour state & illegals driving”.

I just got the 6 month renewal on my 2 vehicles. The uninsured motorist coverage amounts to 47.58 % of my premium on my 1976 Chevy dually 1 ton truck & over 46% on the 1979 Buick station wagon.

The idiots in the Nevada legislature decided to give ‘driver’s licenses’ to the illegals a couple of years ago,,,and the premiums keep going up & up. Supposedly, their reasoning was : IF we give them licenses—they will buy & keep vehicle insurance in place”. BULL CRAP!

They buy the insurance just ong enough to get their registration & then they cancel & MOVE...and MOVE...& Move.

Meanwhile, I had my last accident in OCT 1966—and it was minor. I got my last ticket for seat belt—in the late 90’s. I have put over 250,000 miles on the truck, mostly hauling my horses & I put over 158,000 on the Buick.

BUT—almost half of my current premiums are for UNINSURED ILLEGAL DRIVERS......gag me with a spoon....They are costing me & millions of others plenty of money.

I think Trump put a 2% fee on transfers out of the country...The fee should be closer to 50% & the wall could be built very quickly & then that money could be used for other items his country needs.

There it is.

I had to go in for a medical procedure our insurance didn’t cover. The price suddenly jumped. The young lady in the billing office admitted it was because a couple of patients had skipped the country without paying their bills so the charges were being passed on to the rest of us.

Our property tax has gone from what equaled 2 weeks income to 3.5 months income. It’s mainly school taxes due to all the illegals.
