Answer 1

Crime costs America about $400 billion per year , of which about $167 billion per year is government spending – $72 billion on police , $57 billion on imprisonment and $38 billion on courts . Illegal Immigrants Cause 21% of Crime { by most estimates } . 21% of $400 billion is $84 billion and 21% of $167 billion is $35 billion .

Yes $84 billion a year just to jail illegal immigrants !

This totally wipes out the gain from immigration estimated in the June 20, 2007 Whitehouse report of Immigration’s Economic Impact , which says immigration has a net benefit of $37 billion per year, including both legal and illegal immigrants , here's the PDF -

Answer 2

Yes & No, Yes it makes me angry when we continue to hear over and over about the horrible crimes committed by illegal aliens and what their crimes cost our country. If they didn't commit crimes against people I would still be against illegal immigration. They are criminals already if they are here illegally.

Answer 3

Yes. Whenever I see a story like this one it gives my opinion even more legitimacy and it increases my resolve to do all I can to fight to take America back from the lawless hoard that has invaded it.

Answer 4

Illegals who are not qualified to enter the US and has the propensity to be involved in crimes must be deported to their country
