Illegal aliens cost Each American tax payer 22k per year, is it worth that to get your lawn mowed for $5 hr?

Question

WASHINGTON – Someone has finally fixed an approximate taxpayer cost of between 12 million and 15 million illegal aliens residing in the U.S.

A new study by the Heritage Foundation's Robert Rector found a household headed by an individual without a high school education, including about two-thirds of illegal aliens, costs U.S. taxpayers more than $32,000 in federal, state and local benefits. That same family contributes an average of $9,000 a year in taxes, resulting in a net tax burden of $22,449 each year.

Over the course of the household's lifetime that tax burden translates to $1.1 million.

ain't liberalism grand? :-)~

Answer 2

Hi James:

Perhaps we end the lie that is the "North American Fair Trade Agreement."

And THEN we should give Mexico back their number one export. Corn.

There is nothing fair about NAFTA. We launched that lie. Essentially binding their hands. Then we stole their number one crop from them. Now we're all in a snit because they come here illegally.

Mexico used to be the leader in corn. Largely grown by small farmers. NAFTA cut out all of the small farmers in Mexico.

You MUST be able to produce a certain amount of product in order to "qualify" for NAFTA.

So America took over growing corn. Not to mention we use genetically engineered corn which is causing a tidal wave of food allergies. But that's a whole other rant all together.

Shortly after NAFTA illegal immigration skyrocketed. Why? Because we put all the small farmers out of work.

It's the same thing with fair trade coffee. Nothing fair about it.

PS: If you're a big chicken fan you should know that Tyson has been busted repeatedly for trucking in illegals. See the snippet at the third link.

Answer 3

Hold on a minute here, I must question this data.
A family in penury pays 9,000 in taxes? I really doubt that, and they get most of what they pay back. Remember you said they don't have a high school education, they're flipping burgers or something.
Also, Bill Gates and the like will be paying for most of them proportionately, the average taxpayer won't pay anywhere near 22,000.

Answer 4

The GOP consists of business owners and corporate contributors who exploit the cheap labor of uninsured non-union illegal immigrants. It is greatly yo their advantage to pass the costs associated with this exploitation to the taxpayer. Unfortunately, the past GOP administrations who have allowed the exploitation to thrive while waging war on blue collar citizens with the duty free imports and refusal to guard our borders has brought about the near economic collapse. Quite simply, money cannot be created with no production. Valuing companies worth based on anticipation that does not happen cannot sustain forever.

Answer 5

No.

The lack of enforcement and the extreme poverty in Central America keep the waves of illegals crossing our borders. Also, big business in an effort to drive down wages and thus increase their profits is the driving force in our goverments looking the other way.

I dont think liberalism is the driving force. Cheap labor is.

Answer 6

You could make this same argument about most lower and middle income families in the US. How about we use the conservative solution Hitler used and send them all to happy camps.

The heritage foundation is a facist organization.
