The state of New Jersey alone says that illegal aliens cost their taxpayers $2.1 billion per year for education, medical care and incarceration. Multiply that by the 48 contigulous states. How much money is that? My calculator doesn't go that high. What do you get

Good question! It's scary to even try to calculate it, isn't it? I worked all my life as a citizen in this country and now that I'm disabled and on Medicare at 65, I just barely get by. The drug plans are a joke! I have to choose between medications and decent food. But let an illegal go into the health clinic and it's freebies all the way. Our government is failing us in this area. We need border controls that are interested in the welfare of AMERICAN CITIZENS and I wonder how long it will be until Americans have had enough and take the law into their own hands.

2x 50 + about 1 hundred million but I bet the 2.1 million figure is really low.. That's not even figuring taxes that aren't paid that US citizens have to pick up..that doesn't count the welfare that US citizens have to get because they take the good jobs.. Education: college and their kids... and how many hospitals have shut down thus putting people out of jobs, etc.. I would say 1 hundred million is a low figure

It was $10 billion for the state of California, sorry to wreck the symmetry.
I am more concerned, even so, with the fact that our schools in California can no longer deliver a decent education, for the most part, because of the education they steal from our kids for their kids.

Too D@^^n much!!
One red cent is one red cent too much,.
Since 1996 (10 - 11 yrs):
Illegal aliens cost the USA
approx. $400 BILLION$ in social services
They cost us $13.7 BILLION$ in K - 12th grade!!
Their cost for incarcerations: $1.4 Billion
Money wired to Mexico(revenue lost from the USA FOREVER): $21.5 BILLION$
Plus the FACT that many don't pay taxes or pay very little, are paid in cash. so it is not taxed.
They have been the DIRECT cause of hospital closings.
They bring in disease due to not being screened as are legal immigrants.

How much did they contribute to NJ in sales tax? I bet you wont say that. Look at 2 sides of the coin. 1 lousy fact and you cant name the source. Try again.

holy crap if we closed the boarders and kept that money at home where it belongs we could clean up the national debt, send every American kid to college ,and throw a fourth of July party for the whole nation BBQ and all.

mine doesn't either...but if NJ is claiming 2.1 Billion you know it was probably twice that....and the monetary part is small compared to the overall negative impact on America & Americans!

the official statistic is about 1,500.00 a person every year.because of inflated hospital bills,insurance bills,lower wages due to illegals.these are just a few of the reasons.

Too GD much! Illegals cost more than the services they provide. Like Donald Trump, we need to tell them, "You're fired!"

Probably far less than big business took from working Americans.
