The LV Sun contains an interestiong piece on the loss of revenue to the government caused by the departure of illegal immigrants.

Pretty interesting in a couple of dimensions.

Note that Vegas appears to be losing Hispnanics at a great rate do to the economy..particularly residental construction. It is particular interesting in that the same loss of immigrants in Phoenix is ascribed to the anti-immigration laws. Hmm

I like the observatons of Senator Beer. He points out it does no good to actually try to find out what is going on because every knows the answer and will not entertain any view other than there own.

Yep - lost revenues.

Yep - Less expenses that the state has to pay for illegals too

But of course if the expenses were greater than the revenues the State of Nevada would have an overall gain.

In Arizona - the expenses are / were more than revenues -

You should tell your tax people. They are reporting substantial downs year over year...And a very substantial increase in the budget shortfall for both the 08 and 09 fischal year.


"The January decrease represents the largest percentage year over year decline since April 2002. "

No mention of offseting budget reductions...

It must be the loss of all the sales tax they pay.

Great point, Greaday.

These distorted reports conveniently omit the huge costs (both immediate and long term) directly related to the illegals.

Actually, because like other states, the economy has taken a hit - sales tax revenues have gone done - building permits (home building is down) yet expenses for infrastructure (roads, libraries, public safety etc) continue to go up. There is also the continuing population increases as well -

Revenues are down - and only a fraction are being caused by illegals leaving
