In state costs alone, California leads the list at $23 billion per year, followed by Texas at $11 billion, and New York at $7.4 billion. Spent on Illegal Aliens
The NY Budget deficit is 6.1 Billion. Remove the cost of Illegal Aliens and NY is has a surplus of 1.1 Billion
"And it also documents the taxes paid and how they don't come close to offsetting the costs. What's more, FAIR noted that 35 percent of the illegal population operate in an underground economy hidden from tax collectors. And worse, employers hire illegals and either pay them cheaply or under the table."
The reason this argument
never prevails is simple:
There are two sides to the accounting ledger. Once we tally up the wealth created by foreigners, we find out why they have become a better deal for this country. I do have to point out that FAIR (Federation of American Immigration Reform) was founded and funded by a White supremacist with an ulterior motive, so take his stats with a grain of salt.
Also, since you made a false claim, your argument has trouble with credibility. The fact is most undocumented foreigners get an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number and pay the same Socialist Security taxes you pay... and then they can
never draw a single nickle out in retirement. That alone is about $12 BILLION DOLLARS a year put into the economy. The old guard (i.e. constitutional patriots) had this war won a couple of decades by almost getting rid of the income tax, the IRS, and the tax collectors. But, the National Socialists prevailed. So, now we still have an unconstitutional income tax, a plank out of the Communist Manifesto; we have misguided people whining about an "
underground economy." Those complaining about such an economy don't understand economics and end up dependent upon the government rather than working in an
"underground economy" and not financing tyranny and oppression.
Nonpartisan studies always end up with the same conclusion: Undocumented foreigners pay as much into the system as they receive in benefits. But, the real reason they are here is that they create wealth for employers. It is the Americans that are drug addicts that dropped out of school, have no work ethic, refuse to look for a job - and even when they do they don't have a high school diploma, any skill sets, no work ethic, no experience, and no need for a job. Most get money from the government or mommy. What they do have is a drug habit, a criminal record, multiple body piercings, tattoos, purple hair, rotted teeth and the moral compass of an animal. They can't pass a criminal background check and they are usually posting on discussion boards, playing video games, getting high, or other things so they never apply for jobs. Scapegoating the foreigners will not fix your own culture. If you fix your own culture and put an educated and motivated generation into the workforce, your immigration problem goes away all by itself.
