Why Is The US Going Bankrupt?

Once again United States citizens are being duped by Congress’ old “smoke and mirrors” routine which perverts this most serious issue of illegal immigration by calling supporters of immigration enforcement racists who lack compassion. The programs for illegals are hidden so deeply inside various legislative bills and social entitlement programs that the general public has a difficult time understanding the economic impact of illegal immigration. My friends, you are in for a rude awakening!
Total: $88 BILLION.
Education: Over $29 BILLION dollars are spent for the direct cost of educating the children of illegal aliens for primary and secondary school and most of them cannot speak a word of English4! This also includes over $17 BILLION dollars for the education of American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. Add to that, approximately, $2.2 BILLION dollars a year is spent for illegal aliens to take part in food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches5.
Total: $31.2 BILLION
Health Care: This is where the numbers really get confusing. The estimated cost of health care to illegal aliens averages about $2.5 BILLION dollars per state. In addition to that at least another $2.7 BILLION dollars a year is spent so that illegal aliens can be given additional services through Medicaid each year6.
Total: $127.7 BILLION
Crime: Currently, the illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that’s two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens7. That number is expected to rise as their children grow older.
It has been reported that in 2005 there were anywhere between 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. MILLIONS of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the US from the Southern border alone.
On a daily average, 12 Americans are murdered by an illegal alien. Another 13 Americans are killed by uninsured drunk illegal aliens, and 8 American children are victims of a sex crime committed by an illegal alien each day! Local cops, acting in error, sometimes “forget” to annotate nationality on reports. The numbers may be worse. Unlawful immigrants and their children make up over 29 percent of our local, state and federal prisons at a cost of $2.2 BILLION annually8. That is an average cost of $60 MILLION per day!
Total: $2.2 BILLION
Other Items: Each year over $200 BILLION dollars in lost American wages are a result of employing illegal aliens9. In 2006, it is estimated that illegal aliens sent home over $45 BILLION in US dollars to their countries of origin…and it is believed that there is another $35 BILLION unaccounted for as well10.
We estimate that there are about 12,000,000 illegal aliens currently in this country; and if we take the low end estimated cost of $50,000 per year/per illegal alien.
12,000,000 X $50,000 = $600,000,000,000
Therefore, we need to ask ourselves this question:
Why should we be complacent regarding the issue of illegal immigration?
The way out is to speak-up and make this a critical issue in the November 2nd elections. Question your candidates and vote for those who will enforce the rule of law and protect our borders.
