Interesting read here...You may not like the source, but they do provide a PDF download of the report citing sources....So if You wish to challenge the findings, feel free to do so, however would You please provide Your sources as well as links. I suppose that this will ultimately lead to a discussion of which "source" is valid, and that is good, because ( on another forum)it would be interesting to discuss how we judge the validity/ accuracy of a source.
Anyway,,,,,Here we go..........
"Analysis of the latest Census data indicates that Arizona’s illegal immigrant population is costing the state’s taxpayers about $1.3 billion per year for education, medical care and incarceration. Even if the estimated tax contributions of illegal immigrant workers are subtracted, net outlays still amount to about $1.3 billion per year. The annual fiscal burden borne by Arizonans amounts to more than $700 per household headed by a native-born resident."
