While sucking up 12 billion in benefits and prison costs, well, I guess those are benefits, too.

$500 each per year? That's a droplet in the bucket. It probably costs far more in medical, education, police, etc., etc. for each. In other words a net negative... except for the votes for the Democrats which trump everything.

And they will suck up 15 Billion in:

accommodation in public schools with no expectation of assimilation,
healthcare,
criminal justice,
welfare benefits,
....and did I mention contributing to vote fraud?

Who cares about breaking the law, there’s money to be made.

These people, the illegals and the politicians, are scum.

While they were doing the study I don’t suppose it dawned on them to see how many billions they received in benefits.

They specify state and local taxes. They already pay sales and property taxes, so I guess that leaves state income tax.
No boost to federal income tax, though, because they will decrease federal tax revenues by taking the earned income and child tax credits.

“The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization about tax policy issues, found that if all 11.4 million undocumented immigrants received lawful permanent residency in the U.S., then state and local tax contributions would increase by approximately $2.2 billion per year. Based on 2012 data, ITEP stated undocumented immigrants have already contributed “significantly” to local and state taxes by providing an estimated $11.4 billion.”

That works out to about 53 cents per person per day.

And they’ll get more than double that back in income tax refunds, with the child tax credits.

Figures don’t lie but liars figure.

So what happens when they get access to tax credits, Section 8, and SS disability because they can’t speak English.. That so called economic positive turns a big negative? Not to mention the costs for medicaid, education, access go our retirement SS trust when they paid virtually nothing. The costs go up astronomically when they can better play our system..

We already know how it was done after Reagan’s amnesty.

Who crosses the Southern border illegally? The wealthy Mexican? No.
The well connected Mexican? No.
The scum of Mexico? BINGO!!!

We have enough scum in the U.S. already. We don’t need more murderers, vagrants, thieves or welfare cheats - we have way too many of those already! I say close both borders and keep the unwanted out, then let the people of the U.S. prosper to the best of their ability.

I think 2.2B is the daily deficit.

"11.4 million undocumented immigrants received lawful permanent residency in the U.S., then state and local tax contributions would increase by approximately $2.2 billion per year. "

"During the budget period 2014-2019, in which Medicaid expansion takes effect, covering 3.1 million amnestied immigrants would conservatively cost taxpayers $48.6 billion."<----cis.org
