The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Californians. How Much do You Pay?
If democrats really cared about the people who couldn't afford health care insurance, about 15 million of them, wouldn't an 'Al Gore' light bulb go on in their heads about putting a stop to entitlement programs for illegals that are bankrupting America? They could put all that money saved towards helping not the 47 million people who are uninsured, because that number is a lie, but the roughly 15 million uninsured. Well don't hold your breathe. Democrats do not give a flying shite about your health care because they're more concerned with buying votes. If they vote to enforce illegal immigration, in other words, 'do their job,' they will lose the Latino vote. With all of the money saved by cutting off entitlement programs for illegals and enforcing the borders, you could buy every American a car and 'non-government' run health care insurance. When will democrats wake up and realize they're being conned? Just look what happened to California! Story below..
The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Californians
Analysis of the latest Census data indicates that California's illegal immigrant population is costing the state's taxpayers more than $10.5 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 nearly $9 billion per year. The annual fiscal burden from those three areas of state expenditures amounts to about $1,183 per household headed by a native-born resident.
This analysis looks specifically at the costs to the state for education, health care and incarceration resulting from illegal immigration. These three are the largest cost areas, and they are the same three areas analyzed in a 1994 study conducted by the Urban Institute, which provides a useful baseline for comparison ten years later. Other studies have been conducted in the interim, showing trends that support the conclusions of this report.
As this report will note, other significant costs associated with illegal immigration exist and should be taken into account by federal and state officials. But, even without accounting for all of the numerous areas in which costs associated with illegal immigration are being incurred by California taxpayers, the programs analyzed in this study indicate that the burden is substantial and that the costs are rapidly increasing.
The more than $10.1 billion in costs incurred by California taxpayers is composed of outlays in the following areas: READ MORE...

Democrats wanting health care badly is simply about control and profit. Obama has dirty dealings going on with NBC-GE-Jeffrey Immelt and his 'Healthynaginations' scheme to data base our medical records. He also is relying on the same con for cap and trade, as GE has the contracts for all the power grids to control your energy use and tax the death out of you. In return NBC gets billions of your tax money and all they have to do is promote it as a good thing - kind of like, WHAT THEY'RE DOING NOW- Hellooooo?????!!!! They lie...
ReplyDeleteRationed health care has to be done because you can't add millions of people to a health care system where we already have a shortage of doctors, and 40% of doctors admitting they will shut down and retire if ObamaCare passes, meaning less doctors , more people and this is going to be better care and cheaper? I would LOVE to see someone explain that to me without using talking points and fantasies, it's just impossible! The name for this site should be 'idiots for democrats' as these people sem to believe anything they hear and have zero common sense. Can you imagine Pelosi, Emanuel, Obama, Reid and Schumer handling health care?!?! With the APOLLO alliance writing a bill no one wants to read and Charlie Rangel taxing Americans for it!!???
IDIOTS for OBAMA is an understatement. These people who buy into this happy health care dream are 'deranged retards.'
Um, I totally agree. Well said exdem...
ReplyDeleteThe Cost of Illegal Immigration to North Carolinians
ReplyDeleteFamilarize yourself with the latest study just released on the impact of illegal immigration to North Carolinians here: http://www.fairus.org/site/DocServer/nc_costs.pdf?docID=2441
You won't see its findings and contents discussed by the dinosaur media because they'd rather you not be aware. In short, it costs our state $1.3 billion annually for just incarceration - emergency medical care - education services to illegal immigrants. That figure does not include English instruction, law enforcement/courts, translators, assistance for public housing, food stamps, welfare payments, etc. Other factors not considered in the reports are job losses by citizens to illegal aliens and the depression of wages in the construction, landscaping, assembly, food processing and service sectors that most illegal aliens are employed in.
Also, the cost to North Carolinians of their share of the impact that illegal immigration places on 15 federal department was not included.
Overall, the cost of illegal immigration nationally is in excess of $100 billion annually.
Another item gleaned from the study I cited is the remittances of $1.2 billion annually from illegal immigrants in North Carolina to Mexico. Nationwide, $26 billion in remittances is transferred from the U.S. to Mexico. This is money that is permanently transferred from our economy to a foreign country due to the lack of border control and non-enforcement of hiring laws.
It costs $8,150 each year in North Carolina to educate a public school student. That's taxpayer money, folks. So for K-12, it costs us $105,950 to educate each illegal alien child. Overall, it costs us $975 million each year to educate the children of illegal aliens. WHO HERE ON THIS FORUM IS IN SUPPORT OF THAT? And, now after being forced by a miscreant Supreme Court decision to provide primary and secondary education to illegals, we have the elitist donkeys on the North Carolina community college board just recently deciding against the will of the vast majority of the people to gleefully admit ILLEGAL ALIENS to community college!!!! If you aren't furious with this, then you’re an illegal alien, a mentally deranged liberal or you just aren't paying attention.
ReplyDeleteWe need to put our military on the border with orders to shoot on sight -- NO EXCEPTIONS! Then we need to get Sheriff Joe on our northern border to start herding them that way.......
