Illegal Immigration Costs U.S. $113 Billion a Year

[Pudfark]

"The cost of harboring illegal immigrants in the United States is a staggering $113 billion a year -- an average of $1,117 for every “native-headed” household in America -- according to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)."

Add to that cost.....the Fed's suing Arizona....No worries, it's only "change".
One of the noted "mental midgets" here says we can't afford to enforce the old immigration laws....We need new laws that we can afford. The absurdity of that message is multi-fold.

Old Pudfark sez: " Count yer shit-tickets...it's a two fold problem "

how much are you spending on active war, as compared to "typical" peacetime expenditures for military?

I have no clue Daii....what does that have to do with illegal immigration?

[Daiichidoku]

"priorities"

[Pudfark]

Ok, now i get it....Most folks who live in the southern border states....would agree, that we are being invaded...and that our military should be here and not over there....I would be one of them. As far as the cost difference....it would be huge...Right now, some say we can't afford a bus ticket home for those little rascals....I say, recall our troops...and send the little miscreants home "First Class on Taca Airlines"....(one way ticket, of course)

The down side to all of this? Slick might have to clean his own pool and mow the yard...

I think that people like Slick who are "illegal alien sympathizers" should foot the $113 billion.

All you complaining cunts are descendant from immigrants and should therefore shut the fuck up!
Only native "Americans" should be allowed to whine like you.

(tired & drunk, can you tell?)

No, really.

Never fear, Pud. I've put the nephew on yard duty up here in PA, and some native Virginian is cutting the grass down there. As much as I've wanted to get a green card for Fatman and provide him employment, I have the pool boy job to myself. Everyone else around here just swims in the thing. At least they don't pee in it(or worse).

and, for what it's worth, I think folks who are so stupid as to read my words and find me sympathetic to the problems of illegal immigration ought to shut the fuck up and learn to read. But, that's just me.....

OK, let's all be straight, so NO ONE can claim, "that's not what they said".....the link:

What does that 113 Billion represent? Total expenditures by State, Local and Federal governmental agencies to the education, healthcare, criminal justice and other requirements incurred by Illegal Aliens. They admit that some of the numbers that add up to that are estimated, to their credit. It's a very good report, and illustrative of how issues with complexity get so easily turned into sound bites. "Illegals cost US 113 Billion$"
say the headlines. Of course, no one bothered to subtract from the expenditure column, the income from taxes and fees paid(remember, with an illegal SS card, your employer is still paying the Feds) for public services(from transportation and parking fees, gasoline taxes, on and on), the secondary income from money spent in American businesses. Let's face it, in some counties nationwide, that Walmart wouldn't be in business for long, with all those employees, if the illegals disappeared. In other words, this number isn't the net cost, it's just the money spent out. As long as everyone gets that, it's a very informative report, detailing a multitude of cost centers most people don't consider. Read the PDF, if you have time.
