I have a couple questions about this....?

According to TNRIP, the financial cost of this foreign invasion to U.S. taxpayers is staggering! Here is a break down of the annual costs:

Education: $22.5 billion
Bi-lingual Education: $3.3 billion
AFDC: $2.4 billion
SSI: $2.9 billion
Social Security: $24.8 billion
Housing Assistance: $2.6 billion
Criminal Justice: $2.6 billion
Jobs Lost by Americans: $10.8 billion
Other Programs: $51.4 billion
Food Stamps: $7 billion
Health Care: $1.4 billion (That Totals $131.7 BILLION Annually Folks)

If the children of illegal immigrants were born in the USA they are legal citizens.So the cost of educating them should not be a factor.
Is the cost of bi-lingual education going to teach children English? Or is that figure for the cost of teaching Spanish ,French and other languages as electives to children who WANT to learn a second language?
Isn’t AFDC and food stamps the same thing?
Isn’t SSI and Social security the same thing?
Illegal immigrants can not receive housing assistance.
Criminal Justice?If you break the law you are usually sentenced to jail time and then probation/parole when you get out.When on probation/parole you have to pay a monthly fee which ranges, but as an example $100 a month.
How do you calculate job losses?Really, if you know tell me.
What are these Other programs?
Health care?Only 1.4 billion?Last time I checked it cost a lot for health care.Most Americans can’t afford to go to the doctor.And again is that the total for ALL the country?
Really,If you can answer me I would appreciate it!
OK are you ready to listen now?
Education is the College Tuition.
They get Free college.
The estimated costs of educating illegal aliens and their children exceed 28.6 billion dollars in 2004 alone.

This is K-12:
California cost $7.7 Billion Dollars
Texas cost $3.9 Billion Dollars
New York cost $3.9 Billion Dollars
To educate Illegal Immigrants.

Number of Hospitals that Closed it doors because of Illegal/Americans can not pay for their bills: 84

Housing Assistance:
And yes I Found this I was shock,
Immigration researchers estimate that the number of illegal aliens has surged to about 10 million today and that 34,000 of them receive rent assistance as heads of households.

And Yes, I have an answer to a few more questions but I feel like stopping here.
bilingual education and learning a foriegn language are separate. first of all it depends what state you live in. the main goal of bilingual education is to teach students who don't speak english concepts and skills in their native language while giving them english language instruction. you can't teach compare and contrast or main idea to students in english who don't speak one word of it. so again you teach them in their native langauge and then when they learn english (experts say it takes 5 years to learn cognitive academic language profiency) they can use these skills in the english language. remember english is just one means of communication. learning a foreign language is for students who are already proficient in the english language and want to learn a second language to fullfill college prerequisites or to become more marketable in the job market. i am not to sure about your other questions.... maybe you should narrow or simplify your questions. it's a lot of info. you're asking for....


Answers:
It's the old story, there are lies, damned lies and statistics. Why do you think the Bush administation spouts an endless list of numbers when they are asked a substantive question?

No, AFDC and food stamps are not the same. No, SSI is not the same as Social Security.

And people forget that many of these 'illegal immigrants' pay taxes from which they actually will never get any benefit, a gift to the rest of us who benefit from their money.

What intrigues me most is that the politicians keep saying there are fewer people paying into Social Security than are being paid by Social Security. If we let in all the immigrants, wouldn't that problem be solved?.
USA American CITIZENS are NOT 'ILLEGALLY' in the USA! The WELFARE here was set aside FOR THEM!! We would NOT GO to another country and expect what the ILLEGAL immigrants demand in the USA! ILLEGAL immigrants, combined, cost the USA citizens BILLIONS every YEAR! They need to GO HOME!

U.S. Americans are strong, determined people who had the guts to come to this country, work hard and build it to what it is today. WITHOUT any handouts! If you think we can't do without Mexicans, go back to Mexico and see if we fall. I would love to show you. But, since ILLEGAL Mexicans can't live without our WELFARE system, they certainly won't go back to Mexico. They have no pride, no strength, no backbone, no stamina, no guts, no heritage to be proud of and all their children and future generations will have no pride in them, they will be ashamed of how their people came into our country illegally, demanding rights that they didn't deserve or EARN, freeloading off the system, disrespecitng the people who put food on their tables(food stamps), gave them health care(Medicaid and Hospital ER's), educated their children, gave them teachers to teach them English, people who flew their country's flag in protest, called the U.S. American citizens filthy names, disrespected the USA flag, disrespected the USA leaders and then have the ignorant audacity to think we WANT you here!! NO WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE AND WE DON'T NEED YOU HERE. GO BACK TO MEXICO. IF YOU HAVE ANY PRIDE, BACKBONE OR GUTS, YOU WILL GO HOME (MEXICO)!! AND DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE A*S ON YOUR WAY OUT!!
Give me the links WHERE you got that information from so I can read it.

Reports demographic information for households headed by illegal immigrants and all other households. Not surprisingly, it shows that on average households headed by illegal aliens have much lower average incomes and are somewhat larger in size than the average household in America.large. Because Medicare and unemployment are more regressive in nature than federal income tax, the contribution of illegals for these two taxes is about 37 percent that of other households' contributions. And for Social Security, which is even more regressive, illegals pay 40 percent of the average household's contribution.



It must be remembered that tax payments in the table are based on the assumption that only 55 percent of illegals pay payroll taxes, comprised of income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance. If all of their income were subjected to taxation, illegals' tax payments would rise significantly. Of course, if they paid all of their payroll tax liability, this would imply that they have legal status, which would also dramatically increase use of public services. This issue will be discussed later in this report.


There are four areas where the estimated costs illegal households impose are much larger than for other households--treatment for the uninsured, federal aid to schools, federal prisons/courts, and the immigration system. Figures for the uninsured simply reflect the fact that such a large share of illegal aliens and their children lack health insurance. With more than half of persons in illegal households lacking health coverage, illegal households account for a very large share of the costs of treating the uninsured. As for schools, although they are primarily paid for by state and local governments, the federal government now provides more than $28 billion for primary and secondary education. Moreover, Washington gives schools some assistance in paying for children with limited English and for the children of agricultural workers. Not surprisingly, illegal households account for a disproportionate share of these programs. Illegal households impose very significant costs on the federal education budget, however, mainly because illegal households have more school-age children on average. The costs for the federal prison and court system are also significant because, although persons in illegal households account for about 3.6 percent of the nation's total population, illegals now account for almost one-fifth of those in federal prison and others processed by the federal courts. Thus, they impose costs on that system that are disproportionally high relative to their share of the total population. This is also true for the immigration system. As indicated in the methodology section, the costs of the immigration system are assigned based on the distribution by household of post-1980 non-citizens. This probably understates the costs of illegals to the immigration system because enforcement alone, which is directed specifically at illegal aliens, accounts for two-thirds of the immigration budget. Nonetheless, it is certainly not surprising that illegal aliens account for a large share of the costs of the immigration system because so much of that system is focused specifically on them.

Balance of Tax and Cost
Illegals Create Large Net Costs. The bottom portion of Table 2 adds together the total tax payments and costs illegals impose on the federal budget. When defense spending is not considered, illegal households are estimated to impose costs on the federal treasury of $6,949 a year or 58 percent of what other households received. When defense spending is included, their costs are only 46 percent those of other households. However, they pay only 28 percent as much in taxes as non-illegal households. As a result, the estimated net cost per illegal household was $2,736. Whether one sees this fiscal deficit as resulting from low tax payments or heavy use of services is a matter of perspective. As already discussed, illegal households comprise 3.6 percent of the total population, but as Table 2 shows they account for an estimated 0.9 percent of taxes paid and 1.4 percent of costs. Thus, both their payments and costs are significantly less than their share of the total population. Since they use so much less in federal services than other households, it probably makes the most sense to see the fiscal deficit as resulting from low tax payments rather than heavy use of public services.

Total Deficit Created by Illegals. If the estimated net fiscal drain of $2,736 a year that each illegal household imposes on the federal treasury is multiplied by the nearly three million illegal households, the total cost comes to $10.4 billion a year. Whether one considers this to be a large sum or not is, of course, a matter of perspective. But, this figure is unambiguously negative and certainly not trivial. It is also worth remembering that these figures are only for the federal government and do not include any costs at the state or local level, where the impact is likely to be significant.
