Report: Illegal Immigration Costs Taxpayers $135 Billion Annually, $8,075 Per Alien
National Economics Editorial ^ | September 27, 2017 | Editorial Staff

Posted on 09/27/2017 11:19:16 AM PDT by Thalean

According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s (FAIR) 2017 report, illegal immigrants, and their children, cost American taxpayers $135 billion annually—the most in this nation’s history.

These costs are only partially offset by taxes, which total a mere $19 billion. Therefore, the next cost of illegal immigrants to taxpayers is $116 billion annually. This estimate is similar to those found by the National Economics Editorial.

Don't forget to factor in the $20+ BILLION that LEAVES the country forever via REMITTANCE PAYMENTS TO MEXICO!!!

This is Mexico's #1 SOURCE OF REVENUE and also the reason the Mexican gov't fights so hard to ENCOURAGE THEIR CITIZENS TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY AND GO TO THE UNITED STATES, LEGAL OR OTHERWISE!!!

Roughly speaking, about $1000/year taken from each household in the US. I think it’s clearer to think in those terms.

Yup, and the dumb, crooked bastards in Congress bitch that Trump's $20 billion wall is too expensive. It's pathetic that they don't even care about national security, much less enforcing existing immigration laws.

Trump wall - $20 billion once

Illegals - $135 billion ANNUALLY

Small business owners and the rich get a taxpayer subsidized cheap labor force out if the deal. Democrats get more voters.

All for a bunch of illiterate, uneducated, disease-bearing, social-services-sucking, ungrateful criminal SCUM. I could think of a LOT better uses for this money.

The illegal advocates never mention the costs to state and local taxpayers. The educate the illegals is much more expensive when they don’t speak English. And between the illegals and refugees coming in here that speak many different languages and dialects, and the every one of them has a “right” to translators, counseling and English-language classes, the local school districts have to raise taxes, and the taxpayer’s own children do not get the education they should.

$2,000 per year from each household that actually PAYS TAXES.

Looks bad, but I don't believe the number is that LOW. Thanks Thalean.

It is. I’ve looked into these reports before and there’s a lot they don’t count. They usually only list the easily quantifiable numbers on obvious costs.

I did some math:

60 seconds in a minute

60 minutes in an hour, therefore: 3600 seconds in a hour.

24 hours in a day, therefore 86,400 seconds in a day

365 days in an average year, therefore: 31,536,000 seconds in a year.

Take $135,000,000,000 (Billions) & divide it by 31,536,000 seconds == $4280.82 PER SECOND being spent on illegals in the USA every year.....

Using the math in the headline:

$135,000,000,000 divided by $8075 ==only 16,718,266 illegals sucking money out of the taxpayers pockets.

I don’t think there are only 16 + million illegals here.....

There’s a great table on page 33 that shows how much each illegal alien costs per state.
