About the cost of illegal immigration

It’s not easy to quantify the cost of illegal immigration. For every kid who goes to school or gets medical treatment on the taxpayer’s dime, there are ten families worth of illegal immigrants who pick our fruits and vegetables, bus our tables and take care of our yards at a rate significantly less than minimum wage.

Some things to understand when figuring out the cost of illegal immigration: The United States government does not spend 11 to 22 billion dollars per year on illegal immigrant welfare.

So whatever you put into the collective American pot that goes toward taking care of the cost of illegal immigration, you probably get back in services and goods that cost much, much less than they would if it were American citizens holding those jobs.
