Illegal Immigration costs Arizonan?s taxpayers $1.3 billion per year!
The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Arizonans - Executive Summary [Printer-Friendly Version] [Send this article to a friend!] File Attached - click here for more info
Executive Summary
Analysis of the latest Census data indicates that Arizona?s illegal immigrant population is costing the state?s taxpayers about $1.3 billion per year for education, medical care and incarceration. Even if the estimated tax contributions of illegal immigrant workers are subtracted, net outlays still amount to about $1.3 billion per year. The annual fiscal burden borne by Arizonans amounts to more than $700 per household headed by a native-born resident.
This analysis looks specifically at the costs of education, health care and incarceration because they represent the largest cost areas and because a 1994 study conducted by the Urban Institute, which also examined these same costs, provides a useful baseline for comparison ten years later. Other studies have been conducted in the interim, showing trends that support the conclusions of this report.
As this report will note, other significant costs associated with illegal immigration exist and should be taken into account by federal and state officials. But even without accounting for all of the multitude of areas in which costs are being incurred by Arizona taxpayers, the programs analyzed in this study indicate that the burden is substantial and that the costs are rapidly increasing.
The $1.3 billion in costs incurred by Arizona taxpayers is comprised of outlays in the following areas:
* Education. Based on estimates of the illegal immigrant population in Arizona and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Arizonans spend approximately $820 million annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings.
* Health Care. Uncom-pensated medical outlays for health care provided to the state?s illegal alien population is now estimated at about $400 million a year.
* Incarceration. The cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in Arizona prisons and jails amounts to about $80 million a year (not including the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).
The unauthorized immigrant population pays some state and local taxes that go toward offsetting these costs, but they do not come near to matching the expenses. The total of such payments might generously be estimated at $257 million per year.
The fiscal costs of illegal immigration do not end with these three major cost items. The total costs of illegal immigration to the state?s taxpayers would be considerably higher if other costs such as special English instruction, school nutrition programs, or welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal alien workers were added into the equation.

How about costs such as social services?
And, the non-financial costs, such as their kids slowing your kids' education because the teacher is dealing with students are hardly know English.
Then there is the cost of the legal immigrants. . .

They are slow. They are simple. 85% are truly incapable of performing at what USED TO BE passable levels to get through US public schools. Take a look at any country filled with mestizos. They bring their 'culture' and all its attendant baggage - or lack of - with them.

Roy, the machismo thing is very big with Messycans, and you got a taste of it. There were some in the Army with me, and they were racist and resentful more so than Congoids! Messycan's are pooped on by their government, but they are extremely Nationalistic, about their sovereignty,no if and or but's.
In the 79-83 period when they started coming in to southern Idaho in numbers it seemed knife fights were in the papers almost every week end.
I had read in Michael Ventura's book "Shadow Dancing in the U.S.A." a leftist book, and have a friend who speaks and writes Spanish too, that in Mexico the workers bar room toilets, almost always have drawings of White/Gringo women on the these walls, their is a love hate of white women. No wonder so many white woman are chased by these down breeded Mongols.

Those messycan pyramids were great places for cutting out the hearts of children etc.. Ahh, the good ole day's of cannibalism! Hey, there was no livestock, and no game near them, as they were such idiot Mongols.

If you are tired of paying for foreign nationals in the US legally and illegally, you should write your Congressman and Senators, and in no uncertain terms tell them you want it stopped!

They are more than well aware of what I and most White people want. They don't care. Or more correctly, they have been bought off by Tyson, Kauffman - Broad (construction), AIPAC, and other agents and tools of the joos and disloyal "multinationals". Not necessarily in that order, either. Oh, things are going to change, we'll win out in the very end. But I doubt it's going to be by the ballot.
Yeah, a lot of the may-hee-canos were macho. But couple that with stupidity - which in fact is where much of the machismo came from, more so than culture - and you have a belligerent, dangerous bunch of malcontents on hand.
BTW - when I mention "what used to be acceptable levels" in the past when it comes to learning, I mean what used to be considered the minimum back then. They can't even meet today's lowered standards, as we are getting more and more of the perpetually glazed-eyed Indios and sub-races coming in from South of our "border".

that pretty much sums it up
