Tax and spenders hurt immigration

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | May 6, 2008

More than $17 billion a year is spent on American-born children of illegal aliens. Thirty percent of all prison inmates are illegal aliens, costing us $3 billion a day. One estimate claims illegals cost the working class $200 billion in suppressed wages. Illegal aliens have a crime rate 2.5 times that of llegal immigrants, according to the Center of Immigration Studies. According to a House report, Homeland Security reported 4,000 to 10,000 illegal aliens crossed the Southern border from “terrorist countries.” Millions of pounds cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana crossed into our country from the South. According to the Heritage Foundation’s Ray Welser, “Mexicans living in the U.S. sent home more than $23 billion in remittances in 2006.” Illegal immigrants committed nearly one million sex crimes (960,000), between January 1999 through April 2006, according to a study by Violent Crimes Institute and cited by a House panel. And you think the Iraq war is costing us too much money?
