You are talking about personal responsibility. I'm talking about what our government could do for our citizens. So I say we spend our tax dollars at home to care for our people, or we stop paying income tax. Below is a real eye opener for every American. Just click on the country of your choice in the upper left hand corner and see how much money we give and to who. Belize? Really we need to give them millions? That could take care of a lot of seniors who need help, or save us millions off the taxes we pay. Canada? We gave them 11 million. That would help our people get a better education. China? 47 million? They frickin' threaten us daily... France 4 million, Germany 4 million, Niger 127 million. Really didn't just lose 4 military folks in Niger?

 

Anyway, pick your country then call your congressman and ask why you are paying these countries all these millions when American infrastructure is crumbling...

America First... Her people last!!! That's how our government sees it. Now don't bash me, I'm not blaming Trump, he has no power it is our senators and congress that are giving away the farm.

New FAIR Study: Illegal Immigration Costs $116 billion Annually

Brunt of Costs Fall on State and Local Taxpayers

 

(Washington, D.C.) - Illegal immigration to the U.S. costs federal, state and local taxpayers a staggering net cost of $116 billion a year - an increase of some $16 billion compared to previous estimates - according to a new study released by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The study is the most comprehensive to date on the cost to federal, state and local taxpayers of the nation's 12.5 million illegal immigrants and their 4.2 million citizen children.

 

Costs Soar

 

The report, “The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers,” examines the cost of illegal immigration through a detailed analysis of federal, state and local programs that are available to the nation’s illegal immigrant population, their U.S.-born children, or accessed via fraud.  The study tallies the impact on education, medical, justice/enforcement, welfare and other government programs. The report notes that the $116 billion cost of illegal immigration falls on state and local taxpayers disproportionately – by a ratio of roughly 2 to 1 – with state and local expenditures totaling $88.9 billion and Federal expenditures totaling $45.8 billion, with only approximately $19 billion recouped in taxes.

 

Taxes Paid Inadequate

 

• The staggering total costs of illegal immigrants and their children outweigh the taxes paid to federal and state governments by a ratio of roughly 7 to 1, with costs at nearly $135 billion compared to tax revenues at nearly $19 billion.

 

• All told, the nearly $135 billion paid out by federal and state and local taxpayers to cover the cost of the presence of 12.5 million illegal aliens and their 4.2 million citizen children amounts to approximately $8,075 per illegal alien and citizen child prior to taxes paid, or $6,940 per person after taxes are paid.

 

• On the federal level, medical ($17.14 billion) is by far the highest cost, with law enforcement coming second ($13.15 billion) and general government services ($8 billion) third.

 

• At the state and local level, education ($44.4 billion) was by far the largest expense, followed by general public services ($18.5 billion) and medical ($12.1 billion).

 

• The study also includes cost and tax revenue estimates per state. The top three states based on total cost to state taxpayers for illegal immigrants and their children: California ($23 billion); Texas ($10.9 billion), and New York ($7.5 billion).

 

“Clearly, the cost of doing nothing to stop illegal immigration is far too high,” said FAIR executive director Dan Stein. “President Trump has laid out a comprehensive strategy to regain control of illegal immigration and bring down these costs,” said Stein. “Building the wall, enhancing interior enforcement and mandating national E-Verify will go a long way in bringing these ridiculously high costs under control,” he said.

 

ABOUT FAIR    
Founded in 1979, FAIR is the country’s largest immigration reform group.  With more than 1.3 million members and supporters nationwide, FAIR fights for immigration policies that serve national interests, not special interests.  FAIR believes that immigration reform must enhance national security, improve the economy, protect jobs, preserve our environment, and establish a rule of law that is recognized and enforced.

 

========================================================

 

Now I realize this problem is already in existence and you can't just wipe it out.........but you can prevent it from getting any worse with tighter boarder restrictions.....Even perhaps........A Wall....and of course create/save more $$$$$$ for all of us

 

Additionally....

 

http://www.newsweek.com/heroin-addiction-costs-us-more-50-billion-year-626983

 

95% of the Heroine in the US comes from Mexico..........costing the US over $50 Billion.........

 

Estimated cost of a Southern Wall border....$12-$16 Billion...........

 

Perhaps it would be a great investment, especially if you are looking at ROI and of course the positive impact this would have on families that would be spared from the pain of having loved ones die from heroine over doses.

 

We need to quit wasting money..........over seas, and at home..........JMO............"The people need to be first"

turn their backs on those who need them most.

Those people could pull the money out of their wallet - not mine.
