The costs of the illegal alien workforce are high --- and paid by ordinary Americans -- whereas the benefits of cheap labor go entirely to employers. As ecologist Garrett Hardin once said, "Privatize the profits and communize the costs."

If the fiscal costs of legal and illegal aliens are taken together, the annual cost to taxpayers is $93 billion net [that is, after subtracting all taxes paid by immigrants]. That Carrying Capacity Network report is based on economist Donald Huddle's analyses of 28 programs used by immigrants and their families, including K-12 education. Most of the burden of immigration is born by taxpayers at State and local government levels.

"Privatize the profits and communize the costs."

We taxpayers are saddled with this cost of illegal immigration. The employers who hire and use them need to be put out of business and jailed. I see these criminals drive to construction sites hauling two or three in the back of their trucks.

I called ICE Sacramento and reported what I saw. Same thing day after day.

Laws are being broken here.Maybe I'll claim the illegals on my 1040 as dependents.

This said it cost the feds 10 billion. And the total cost was 133 billion. Thus, we are talking about 1.3% of the GNP in the latter case and about 0.04% of the fed budget.
