A new study has been released that shows immigrants pay under $10,000 in taxes. Yet, they receive more than $32,000 in social services benefits.

REP. BRIAN BILBRAY, (R) CA: Well, this study really shows why we spend billions and billions. We try to reduce the number of people who are undereducated, under-trained. Because they dont have the ability to produce the resources to be able to pay for the overhead that you have.
And then when you have people that stand up and try to justify illegal immigration that we need more poor, uneducated people in the country, the Heritage Foundation sort of re-enforces that this is an issue that goes beyond legal and illegal immigration. Its a concept that we should try to get those paying a major portion of the expense of what they produce.
Were really talking for every illegal immigrant family in this country, were giving them the equivalent of a brand-new mustang convertible every year. Thats something that I think weve got to recognize is the real expense of illegal immigration.
DOBBS: Robert Rector, lets put up this chart of showing the cost of low-scale workers. And this is an interesting way to look at it. They pay under $10,000 in taxes. Yet, they receive more than $32,000 in benefits.
The tax burden, obviously, is the difference between the two. And that is an impressive number. But it rises to over $1 million over the lifetime of such workers.
Theres another way to look at this. It seems to me, Robert Rector. And that is if low-skill workers are being brought in by corporate America, what theyre really doing is pushing the burden of providing for those low-skill workers, particularly, illegal immigrant, off on the American taxpayer, so that the company, the employer of those illegal aliens wont be paying that 32 or $22,000, and the difference, if we can assume that, each year.
RECTOR: Thats exactly right. When the Chamber of Commerce will come to me and lobby and say, oh, we have to have these workers. Wed have to pay a dollar an hour more if we didnt have them.
I say, look, each one of these workers that you bring in like this, if they come in with family, its costing the taxpayers $22,000. Do you as an employ want to pay that cost? They say, oh no, no. We dont want to pay that.
They just want to shift those costs onto the taxpayer so they can make a tiny bit more profit. Its a terrible, terrible idea. And we have a very generous system for people born in the United States, we support them through welfare. We subsidize their Social Security. We give basically free education for their kids.
But what we really have now is a kind of trans-national welfare outreach where were pulling more welfare recipients into the country.
Who in their right mind would live in Los Angeles, the cesspool of California.
Come look at this place.
It is full of criminals, gangs, graffiti, underpolicied neighborhoods, the worst schools in the modern world.
