美政府每年花在非法移民身上至少110亿美元

INVESTIGATES—THE COST OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS:

The cost of providing social, medical, law enforcement and educational services to illegal aliens from every level of government is estimated at an astounding $113 BILLION per year! That’s right, without considering other national security and quality-of-life issues, local, state and federal government services to illegal immigrants are personally costing you thousands of dollars every year in taxes.

1: Some states have reported spending as much as $6.1 BILLION a year on higher education costs, higher law enforcement costs, and higher health care costs to provide direct services for illegal immigrants.

2: There are an estimated 1.5 million school-aged illegal immigrants residing in the United States. Taxpayer-paid education costs for this population have skyrocketed in recent years. Nationally, the figure for the last year this was compiled was $52 BILLION.

3: Several “sanctuary” states allow illegal aliens to pay discounted in-state tuition at public universities. As universities across the country increasingly limit enrollment, giving special in-state benefits to illegal aliens will mean fewer opportunities and less financial aid for U.S. citizens. It will also mean higher costs for state taxpayers.

4: When illegal immigration increases the supply of workers in a skill category, the earnings of native-born workers in the same category fall. The effect is increased by the presence of illegal workers.

5: The cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in state prisons has also risen. In the last year this data was compiled, the U.S. Department of Justice distributed $550 million to states to help defray expenses, but this was estimated to cover only about one-fifth of their outlays, totaling $8.7 BILLION.

6: Many cities and states are reporting increasing welfare costs for unemployed, indigent illegal aliens.

7: Overall, illegal immigration is costing you and every American taxpayer at least an estimated $110 BILLION a year in additional federal, state and local taxes.
