(Certainly not the government.)
A report by an immigration reform group shows that illegal immigration costs the state of Florida at least $4.3 billion a year in health care, education and incarceration costs.
"In fact, CIS, FAIR, NumbersUSA, Project-USA and more than a half-dozen similar groups that Republicans have become disturbingly comfy with, were founded or funded (or both) by John Tanton, a retired doctor in Michigan. In addition to trying to stop immigration to the U.S., appropriate population-control measures for Dr. Tanton and his network include promoting China's one-child policy, sterilizing Third World women and wider use of RU-486.
FAIR, where Mr. Krikorian once worked, is run by Dan Stein and shares advisers and personnel with CIS and other members of the Tanton nexus. As our Jason Riley noted in a March op-ed, "By Dr. Tanton's own reckoning, FAIR has received more than $1.5 million from the Pioneer Fund, a white-supremacist outfit devoted to racial purity through eugenics."
Representative Cannon says, "Tanton set up groups like CIS and FAIR to take an analytical approach to immigration from a Republican point of view so that they can give cover to Republicans who oppose immigration for other reasons." "
Damn! that's alot of money that the politicians could be wasting on something else....
"But whose counting? (Certainly not the government.)"
Hillary might be counting in 2008. And she may be doing it with ads every night on the 11pm news.
so there goes my damm tax dollars eh?
"Illegal Immigration Costs Florida $4.3 Billion a Year, Report Says"
Expect that figure to double or triple in the coming years. The same goes for California, New York, Texas and other states with high presence of illegal immigrants.
California pays $9 BILLION - that's for medical care; welfare; food stamps; and educating the illegals' children.

Illegal Immigration Costs Florida $4.3 Billion a Year, Report SaysIsn't that more than the value of that entire blockbuster CAFTA deal?...If not just multiply times another couple of state's costs.
Why would anyone support this invasion of this country? Just think about it. No, it is never for humanitarian reasons - only someone mentally ill or a liar would claim that. It's greed, corruption, insanity, or just plain hatred of this country.
Just got this report via GOPUSA email alert...
At least someone claiming membership in the GOP GETS IT!!!
It's time to jail anyone using illegal alien labor
imo
Taking the public benefits citizens refuse to take.
On Lou Dobbs's show this evening, they reported how many millions of dollars the government spends on mortgages for illegals. They use fradulent documents that are never checked and don't put anything down when they get their free money. What a racket for the Mexican-American realtors who make fat commissions off this scam. Illegals cost this country tens of billions when you tote up all the ways they rip us off.
