The single largest cost to the government of illegal immigration, according to the report, is an estimated $52 billion spent on schooling the children of illegals. “Nearly all those costs are absorbed by state and local governments,’ the report states.
Moreover, the study’s breakdown of costs on a state-by-state basis shows that in states with the largest number of illegals, the costs of illegal immigration are often greater than current, crippling budget deficits. In Texas, for example, the additional cost of immigration, $16.4 billion, is equal to the state’s current budget deficit; in California the additional cost of illegal immigration, $21.8 billion, is $8 billion more than the state’s current budget deficit of $13.8 billion; and in New York, the $6.8 billion deficit is roughly two-thirds the $9.5 billion yearly cost of its illegal population, according to Jack Martin, the economist who completed the study.
It's pathetic that when the US taxpayer is being bled by illegal immigrants, Obama's justice department is preparing a lawsuit on one of the few states that is taking action to address the issue. Mr. Obama, please do your job, secure the border. We've had enough grandstanding with your demonizing of BP. This issue, and a tanking economy, have a far larger impact than an oil spill.

it is indeed pathetic. he files a lawsuit against AZ for trying to enforce the laws that the feds are refusing to enforce, then turns around and throws hundreds of thousands in 'stimulus' dollars at places like deming, NM, to bus students in from mexico (http://www.judicialwatch.org/foiablog?page=6 - broken link) to be educated at taxpayer expense.

We will never be able to de-pervert this nation of the ills of liberalism.
The liberal mantra - "Free Love For All, No Matter The Cost, No Matter The Consequence" - has destroyed this nation. We'll recover from a market-based financial collapse; we'll never recover from an entitlement-induced mentality that implies that everyone deserves everything in the United States of America.
Call me a doom and gloomer all you want, but the writing is on the wall. Sit back and enjoy the show. And feel good that Democrats in Congress are hard at work ensuring that this happens sooner rather than later, all in the name of political expediency.
Why do Democrats insist on bankrupting the country for votes? Because lets be honest, that's all this is about - Placating Hispanics so that they'll vote Democrat. Do liberals really support this brand of ideology to the detriment of our country?
