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.

Okay, now I understand. You just can't read or do math.

Welfare benefit programs used strictly by the illegal immigration population were costing "$400 billion a year -...

Based on the figure of 30 million illegals they use that would be $13,333 of expense per year per capita.

...He said that figure did not include another half-trillion dollars lost each year "due to payroll and income tax fraud from the underground economy created by having 30 million illegal aliens in the United States."

Here the figure would be $16,666 per capita in lost revenue.

Estimates of the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. vary considerably, but the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) said the numbers cited by Gilchrist "sound about right."

The figures for expense, missed opportunity cost and the population base are clearly in the text. You present a figure of $83,000 per year expense and your number is what I was supposed to swallow? I did not swallow their number, I pointed out that context mattered, which it clearly did because you tried to feed me a BS number without providing any alternative context. Exactly what I was pointing out

"Occasionally you will see an accident with Illegals but they are not that common."

I did not say that Illegals were not "associated" with traffic fatalities. Obviously they are involved in SOME.

If Hispanic males are involved in fatal accidents at 5 times the rate of caucasion males (NHTSA data indicates male Hispanics is the single highest demographic group). Fatal accidents involving Hispanic males must be the most common. Chicago does not release the residency status of those involved in the accidents, how do you know illegals are not involved?
