Excerpt:
"Illegal immigration to the U.S. costs federal, state and local taxpayers a staggering net cost of $116 billion a year – an increase of some $16 billion compared to previous estimates – according to a new study released by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The study is the most comprehensive to date on the cost to federal, state and local taxpayers of the nation’s 12.5 million illegal immigrants and their 4.2 million citizen children.

Costs Soar

The report, “The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers,” examines the cost of illegal immigration through a detailed analysis of federal, state and local programs that are available to the nation’s illegal immigrant population, their U.S.-born children, or accessed via fraud. The study tallies the impact on education, medical, justice/enforcement, welfare and other government programs. The report notes that the $116 billion cost of illegal immigration falls on state and local taxpayers disproportionately – by a ratio of roughly 2 to 1 – with state and local expenditures totaling $88.9 billion and Federal expenditures totaling $45.8 billion, with only approximately $19 billion recouped in taxes."

    I have a pregnant idea! Why don't we give a stipend to those illegals who are here, if they will take it and get on an airplane with the ticket we give them and we'll just drop them off where they came from?

    FFA: My memory isn't functioning like it should. Was it the 19th Amendment that gave citizenship to children born of slaves? How have the powers that be loosened that to recognize Border babies as citizens. My grandmother wasn't given citizenship in the U.S. until 1914 because she was an American Indian. My father was born that year but the three siblings before him had to be given citizenship. N
