Every new illegal immigrant that enters the United States will cost more than $82,000 each over their lifetime, a conservative think tank that advocates for lower immigration levels has claimed.

The Center for Immigration Studies updated their 2012 analysis which put the average lifetime net fiscal cost of a border crosser at $74,722. In the six years since, the price has jumped to $82,191.

Oh please - I would multiply their figure by at least 5. Why is the estimated cost to raise a child many times more than this?
Look at the hoards of invaders - these are not elderly people we’d support for “only” 10 years; they’re people who will be on the dole for decades AND have numerous kids.

My ancestors didn’t get jack sh*t when they came here LEGALLY. Didn’t ask for anything either. They were just glad to be here and given the opportunity to BUILD, not be handed a better life. They were REAL immigrants. Not FAKE “immigrants” and FAKE “refugees” like the crap floating across our borders these days.

The article makes it sound like Fox News really did not want to report that, the neocon open borders crowd they are.
