High Cost of Illegal Immigration
Below are some statistics from the Los Angeles Times, published as the State of California tries to close a $42 billion budget shortfall. It seems that illegal immigration has become the third rail of politics. No one wants to face that fact that it is costing states billions.
From the L. A. Times:
40% of all workers in L. A. County (L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County. )
(All of the above are from the Los Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
While Washington politicians fiddle over an economic stimulus package, states are burning cash they don’t have by not addressing the critical economic problems created by illegal immigration.
Do you mind paying for health care and education for illegal immigrants while the states are broke?








Wow that is ridicolous isn't
Wow that is ridicolous isn't it? No one should be paying the bills.




This is why I love

Thanks for sharing this
Thanks for sharing this information. I found it very informative as I have been researching a lot lately on practical matters such as you talk about...


Corporations Are Suplimenting Their Payroll....
good thing Obama Admin is focusing on employers.
fact is our machine;
destroys their economy, entices them here for sustanace, supliments the reduced wage with taxpayer payed social services programs.
how else can any family survive in America for $5.00 pr hr. we need to punish employers big time, HUGE fines will do.
and then increase the minimum wage to $15.00. Won't be a working illegal alien in sight!
we have to hold the politician accountable for playin our apathy as a country, then getting pais by business, to keep slave labor in the country.
Check your facts...
At least put a LINK to the article you claim is the source before posting random e-mail "facts" and passing them off as truth. Welcome to the internet people... not everything with a web page is true.

There are bigger fish to fry in this country. Quit drooling over the red herring.
Check your facts...
A link to Snopes is not an argument. If the $70 B difference is Social Security taxes, I would agree that they should not get credit for paying that. That is paid in exchange for a promise to repay in retirement.
This is why I love the internet

These are a big numbers, I
These are a big numbers, I didn't thought before it's a big issue like this, what makes all these people flee to the US, maybe Mexico is not a good place to live there and the world needs to help them.
I am a little tired of these
I am a little tired of these immigrants, they doesn't respect our laws and obey them constantly, I think that we should deport all of them.
I am not a racist, but still
I am not a racist, but still I don't understand why do we allow them to enter our country, if they don't wanna respect us why should we help them, we should build a barricade on border put some tanks and shoot down everyone who is trying to cross the border illegally.
I think we should tighten
I think we should tighten our laws and start deporting in mass all illegal immigrants, then we will solve unemployment problems in US. And the number of crimes will decrease.
I think that we should not
I think that we should not concern about costs of illegal immigration, we should take a closer attention to statistics which is showing that almost all crimes are committed by aliens.
I think we should form local
I think we should form local civilian networks in order to fight back those illegal immigrants, because their number is increasing every day.
Unfortunately it's true
Unfortunately it's true illegal immigrants are forming gangs in LA and they rob people and police can't defend us anymore, I think we should start mass deportations.
I can't understand why the
I can't understand why the heck should we pay for the birth of those mexicans, lets make a simple calculation, and we will find that in 10 years California will be lost by USA, it will became a Mexican state.
If one third of California
If one third of California inmates are mexicans, isn't this suggesting that we should deport them all, I mean all illegal aliens, USA is for Americans not mexicans.
I think that we should form
I think that we should form anti aliens organization and vote against mexicans politics at elections, we should show them that USA is for Americans and not muchachas.
We are having same problems
We are having same problems here in UK, we've got lots of migrants from Asia, Africa and different Arabic countries, but unfortunately we can't do nothing to them according to EU laws, we can't even deport them.
I don't know why our
I don't know why our authorities are doing nothing with them, you can't walk through California without meeting a Mexican per km, it is awful.
The cost of illegal
The cost of illegal immigration is supported by tax payers, and I don't understand one thing why we don't deport all immigrants, why do we allow lawyers to defend them and help obtain US citizenship, common they are criminals from the moment they enter illegal our country.
I think that there is a
I think that there is a conspiracy because our authorities aren't doing anything with these illegal migrants, they are not deporting them, I wonder is US government trying to increase our population with help of illegals.
I have a dual feeling while
I have a dual feeling while reading this post because at the beginning all Americans where illegal cause this land belonged to aborigines, so in the same time I understand that we have to fight with illegal migration but I feel sorry for Mexicans.
I think that the same
I think that the same problem is all around the world in developed countries, millions of migrants try to settle down there, for example in France 40% of its populations are now arabs.
So what we can conclude from
So what we can conclude from everything that US police and border services are infective in fighting illegal migration, so we should not pay any taxes if they can't protect us.
