The Costs Of Illegal Immigration

I didn’t have time to verify every statistic at the sites listed, but I suspect they all have much basis in truth:

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year. http://tinyurl.com/zob77
2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html
3. $2..5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html
4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English! http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.0.html
5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare &social services by the American taxpayers. http://premium.cnn.com/TRANSCIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01.html9. $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that’s two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt..01.html
11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border. Homeland Security Report: http://tinyurl.com/t9sht
12. The National Policy Institute, “estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.” http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf
13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm
14. “The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States “. http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml

The total cost is a whopping $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR

And we will never have the guts to do anything about it!

AMNESTY CONSIDERATIONS

It is very economically advantageous to use cheap Mexican seasonal agricultural guest workers; it is very socially and economically disadvantageous to let them stay after the crop is harvested. When seasonal guest workers do return to Mexico at end of the growing season, they return with money and experience, to contribute to the development of Mexico; and each year, when a new group of seasonal guest workers comes, they are eager to work for the same low non-citizen wages.  And, when they return to Mexico at end of the growing season, they do not drive down the wages of American workers, by competing for jobs in landscaping, construction, sanitation, and housekeeping; and they do not use American governmental social services.

When seasonal guest workers come from all of the countries of Latin America, on a strict quota system, then every country benefits, not Mexico exclusively; and when they are well treated, the experience is mutually positive.

Mexico is land rich in natural resources; what makes it so socially and economically retarded are its Mexican People; and wherever they immigrate they bring their deplorable civilization with them. It is so inferior than none of them want to return to it.

The Mexican dream of regaining political control over Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California is America’s worst nightmare. Starting at all of the border towns, and spreading northward throughout America, like cancers, are thousands of deplorable Mexican neighborhoods. With each deportation America looks, smells, and sounds less like socially and economically deplorable Mexico. America is presently occupied by 12 -15 million Mexicans.

With the deportation of all the illegal immigrants, students will again be able to get good paying summer jobs, to learn responsibility and earn their way through college; blue-collar wages will rise; border towns will not be slums; Spanish will not be a second language; crime will go down; hospitals and prisons will not be overcrowded.

When all of the illegal aliens are deported, the Leftist Democrats and Neo-Conservative Republicans will lose millions of political supporters, and the vast amounts of money that they receive from the Mexican Lobby; and, those American businesses that exploit cheap Mexican labor will lose their illegal competitive advantages.

No advanced civilization in the World can coexist side by side with a retarded civilization, without a great wall or fence, strict guest labor laws, and armed border guards.

Jeugenen:  If I didn’t read your rant the first time I’m sure not going to read it the 20th time you’ve cut and pasted the same thing.

Come up with some new stuff and in the comment world shorter is better than longer.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Neiman, good job in drawing a picture of the real costs of the moral hazard of failing to enforce our borders, in particular the secondary costs of depressed wages and such for those who compete with illegals for jobs.  I would estimate the actual cost of illegal immigration would be closer to a trillion dollars annually.

About the same as the actual cost of subsidizes for maize, really.  No kidding; if half of medical expenses are due to diet & exercise, as Ken Cooper claims, then a significant portion of that has something to do with subsidizing maize and fattening us up like cattle, no?

Moral hazard of maize, moral hazard of failing to secure our borders.  Yikes.

Make their employers pay us back all the billions we are spending on the “cheap labor” provided by illegals.

The responsibility is the federal government’s for letting them in in the first place.  Selective enforcement of the law means there is no law, and a nation without defined and defensible borders is a nation without sovereignty.

The illegal immigration problem is 100% the fault of politicians and bureaucrats.  It’s up to them to enforce the law and protect the borders, not Fred who’s got an illegal busboy.

Using numbers which are extremely rounded, if there are 33M illegals, and the cost is $330B (seems a bit high to me, but not by much), that is $10,000 each. 

In addition to building the fence, and tracking those who come here on visa (to insure they leave when they are supposed to), we do need to make it less economically attractive to bring them here.  “Fred, who’s got an illegal busboy” is 1/33M’th of the problem, and should see a fine of less than $10,000.  Wal-Mart, who has had multiple infractions should be seeing over $10,000 per illegal they hire or contract (including those on the ghoste contracts they use to try to insulate themselves from the law).  If we can get the feds to enforce the fines and deportations, we won’t need nearly as big a fence project.

Bat One: you are absolutely right about defending our borders.  That is one of the biggest reasons I am not a libertarian.  They don’t seem to see that.

As for “Jeugenen,” I don’t know about shorter being better, but I do think new material is appropriate.
