The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers (2013) (Clinton, Democrats)

[claymoore]

$113 BILLION and this in 2013!

Past time to build the wall that Sens. Obama, Biden and Clinton, 64 House Democrats and 23 Senate Democrats voted for in 2006.

Executive Summary

This report estimates the annual costs of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local level to be about $113 billion; nearly $29 billion at the federal level and $84 billion at the state and local level.

The study also estimates tax collections from illegal alien workers, both those in the above-ground economy and those in the underground economy.

Those receipts do not come close to the level of expenditures and, in any case, are misleading as an offset because over time unemployed and underemployed U.S. workers would replace illegal alien workers.

That's about $850 per tax payer, per year!

Imagine the wall that could be built with that $113 BILLION dollars!

I can sure find better things to do with that $850.

Don't liberals keep telling us that people living on the border don't want a wall? Seems like it. But then, the liberals spout a continuous string of horse poopy.
