I missed the part in the quote where you refer to the cost being over 1 trillion per year. Perhaps you would care to point me to the post that correctly quotes someone making that assertion, or would that be to incovenient for your self defense.
Since that is 83,000 per Illegal it can be dismissed out of hand.
It appears you are the one saying you dismissed it out of hand, not I.
It's curious that you would say that illegals are not associated with traffic fatalities in Chicago. NHTSA data shows Hispanics as 5 times more likely than causasians to be involved in a fatal traffic accident. Chicago makes a practice of not recording or releasing the residency information of those involved in fatal accidents. Since 5 times as many Hispanics are involved in fatal accidents and the residency status is not released, what would be the basis for...
"Occasionally you will see an accident with Illegals but they are not that common."
Looks to me like information without basis and pretty much valueless. No I am wrong there. It did prompt me to spend time digging through Federal and state goverment data, insurance records and a few studies. I handn't intended to, but your posts prompted me to invest the time. Quite revealing information. You won't like what you find, but perhaps you should do the same before dismissing anything else.
Post 20 refers to costs of 400 billion and another half trillion which I summarized as "almost a trillion" dollars NOT "over" a trillion as you claim.
I CALCULATED the per capita figure to show it was unlikely you missed it entirely but are willing to swallow it because you WANT it to be true.
"It's curious that you would say that illegals are not associated with traffic fatalities in Chicago." I did not say that Illegals were not "associated" with traffic fatalities. Obviously they are involved in SOME.
