$1.8 trillion would be more than 10% of GDP. What a joke.

They can’t even decide how many illegal alien invaders are in our country. How in the world can they say how much they spend?

Just another attempt to convince ignorant racists like me of the wonderful benefits of allowing for the destruction of our culture and country.

Well, for Texas that comes to $183,000 per illegal according to the figures given, and that doesn’t count whatever money is sent to Mexico (or wherever). Apparently illegals make a lot more than I thought. ;-)

Or is this also counting public money spent ON illegals? lol

UPI Reporter Fails 4th Grade Math

1.8 trillion divided by 12 million illegals = $150,000/year

Lawn maintenance and service industry jobs don't pay that much.

The Perryman Group said Texas alone would lose 1.2 million illegal workers and $220.7 billion in annual spending if undocumented workers left the country, the Houston Chronicle reported Tuesday.

$220,700,000,000 spent divided by 1,200,000 illegal workers = $183,916.67 per illegal worker. Wonder what they would spend if they were legal?

Wonder what the economic impact would be if citizens stopped spending with businesses that hire illegals?

A lot less since they would then have to actually pay for taxes, insurance, etc.

“...Texas alone would lose 1.2 million illegal workers and $220.7 billion in annual spending...”
And that’s just in spray paint for their gang graffiti, tatoos, and chrome hubcaps.
I suppose Perryman hires a lot of illegals in his various enterprises and lets the tax drones in Texas pay for the education, medication and incarceration of hundreds of thousands of Mexicans every year.
Employers should be arrested and thrown in jail for employing illegals. That would be the solution to the invasion of our country by people who do not belong here.

Are they trying to tell us that there are 12,000,000 jobs out there paying $150,000K+ a year that Americans will not do?

I’m willing to relocate for one of them.....

Mr. Perryman’s organization also did a study on the Trans Texas Corridor: The Net Economic Benefits of the

So, the Perryman group believes that the work these Illegal Immigrants are doing will not be done if the illegals are deported?

Judging from how many Americans they kill every year in drunk driving accidents, I wouldn't be surprised if they spent that much on liquor.

Did they add in all the $$ that are being sent “home” via Western Union (- the fees of course) as “spending”?

$150,000 a year? Holy crap I am in the wrong line of work. How does one get a job as an illegal immigrant?

While there are plenty of reports of gang violence south of the border. You don't hear so much about it north of the border. And yet....

More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says

When you start digging into the numbers the only ones that can be sourced with the feds are the number of American murdered in 2005: 16692
I have seen federal numbers for illegals held in jail ranging from 19.3% to 27% of the federal prison population.

Here's a sampling of USA cities wanted for murder. What you'll see is that in big USA cities like LA or NYC most of the murderers are Hispanic. Unknown are the % of illegals. In smaller cities the FBI will post the nationalities of the murderers. About 25% of the most wanted are illegals wanted for murder. This number agrees with the percentage of illegals incarcerated in federal prisons. +-25%

Pictures of top 10 most wanted in LA. Up until recent stories about crime in LA posted by the LA Times--the pictures included the nationality of the murderers. They were all foreign nationals and mostly Mexican.

Wanted for Murder in New York City.

Chicago wanted for Murder


Philadelphia wanted for murder

San Francisco wanted for Murder


New Orleans wanted for Murder

Pictures of suspects wanted for murder in Washington DC

FBI USA 10 most wanted. (two of 10 are Mexican nationals) Around 40% of the FBI's wanted for murder are Mexican Nationals

There are currently no exact numbers on the number of Americans killed by illegals. Part of the reason is that the government deliberately obscures the number. I talked on the phone with the head of statistics for the US Bureau of Prisons. He said his office wasn't allowed to publish the number of illegal alien murderers. Rather they were forced to put legal and non legal residents in the same category. He said further that most of illegals in the federal prisons were in for drug related charges. Most of the illegals in jail for murder were in the state prisons. I talked to ICE. They put out detailed numbers on illegal child molestors. However, they put out nothing on illegal murderers.

Part of the reason for the silence on the matter is that there is evidence to suggest that most Americans being killed by illegals are black--as is the suggestion in this LA Times Article. Also this article from the LA Times. And here. This makes intuitive sense. We see stories regularly of drug gang killings in Mexico but we don't see those same stories in the USA. The reason we don't see those stories is not because its not happening. Rather we don't see the stories about illegals killing blacks because that kind of story is terribly politically incorrect. The populations being displaced in downtown sanctuary cities especially are American blacks. That means that their criminal elements would be pushed aside by Mexican gangs as well. That's also the story that the wanted for murder posters in all the major cities seems to suggest.

Nevertheless, the pattern of non reporting is starting to break. Discovery Channel has a series called Gangland that mentions ethnic cleasing of blacks by Mexican gangs

Reported Foreign Nationals on Death Row in the U.S.

To look at other USA cities go here http://stlouis.fbi.gov/ and replace stlouis with the city you want.

All that said the true number of criminal aliens is far higher than is revealed by criminal aliens in prisons. Most are simply waived through the courts.DHS Secretary Chertoff, has been quoted as warning that two million people in this country illegally have committed serious crimes. If you check the links you'll notice that its McCain who cites Chertoff. See also here and here Here is more info from Judicial Watch.

However the number of illegals on death row is far lower. Sadly, so many small towns and villages across America have sent their warriors off to war half way across the world only to see communities fill up with illegal aliens.
