The Financial Cost of Illegal Immigration
Illegal immigrants already cost us $100 billion dollars every year. That’s right, “B” as in BILLION. Should the guest worker program become law, it will cost Americans 3.9 TRILLION dollars over the next decade.
The below video spells out the facts and makes a very good point. For those of you who are claiming that we need these low skilled workers to do the “cheap work” Americans won’t do, well the illegal immigrants are paid a lot more than you think. In fact, you’re paying for most of it. Each of the these families pay $10,000 in taxes every year. However, they receive $32,000 in “free” benefits. If you do the quick and easy math, every one of these families that we so desperately need cost us tax payers $22,000 every year.
One of my favorite questions is….did all of the legal Americans who worked at McDonalds just happen to find better paying jobs the last few years?
