All of the above expenses, and more, have resulted in estimates ranging from $10 billion to $40 billion a year pilfered from the American taxpayers' pockets as a result of our government's unwillingness to address the immigration issue.

Inconsequential compared to the $800 Billion that illegal immigrants contribute to the GDP according to last month's Business Week, or for example $16 Billion to Southern Nevada alone. That's funny...last week you posted an article with this quote:
Nationally, Hispanics boast an estimated $700 billion each year in consumer purchasing power, according to the Hispanic Chamber. The figure excludes revenue from undocumented workers.
So that's $800 billion from the illegals, and another $700 billion from the "other Hispanics," so that's $1.5 trillion? Jeezus H, we're rolling in dough! Hey everybody, it's Morning In America!
