Imigrants pay their way

[aTUfan]

A recent article on yahoo stated that illegal migrants pay Billions in taxes, thus are paying their way..
The data in the article supported the idea that illegals paid close to as $25,000.000,000.00 each year in ;real estate, income, sales, . . .taxes.

Very impressive.

That would be close to $300/person if you believe the 11.4 million illegal immigrant number. Of course it's probably a bit higher since a decent number of those immigrants are probably children.

I can't find an exact comparison for Americans since it depends on various state tax rates but from what I've seen, non home owners pay somewhere on the range of 2-5k per year.

So, maybe that's a solution. We'll freely admit non citizens but they would have to be made to pay income taxes + a non citizen premium.

The average immigrant family received $5000 in federal aid per year. Add to that number the additional costs of second language education. If we're speaking from strictly a federal fiscal point analysis it's a net loss situation. Not surprising since most immigrants have a low level of education and are unskilled. Outlays > tax revenue for the economically challenged crew.

The also send billions of dollars to Mexico instead of spending it here.

The potential harm done is in the dynamic change of voting patterns that will surely come in the future and the main reason Obama and his ilk have attempted to alter our society of one from strict law adherence to overwhelming lawlessness. Discuss.

Starting in 2006 the evidence began to show the same trends in Texas

"But there’s some evidence that there’s a net economic benefit to illegal immigration, even with such costs factored in. In 2006, the
Texas state comptroller, a Republican, released a study showing that illegal immigrants produced more in state revenues than they received in state services in the previous year: “Undocumented immigrants produced $1.58 billion in state revenues, which exceeded the $1.16 billion in state services they received.” (The study also notes that “local governments bore the burden of $1.44 billion in uncompensated health care costs and local law enforcement costs not paid for by the state,” without providing figures about local revenues that these immigrants generated.) The comptroller estimated, moreover, that the Texas workforce would decline by 6.3 percent without the illegal immigrant population, even accounting for new arrivals that would most likely come to replace them."

"They do the work, Americans won't do"

Americans would do the work, if they were hungry enough.
Right now it's easier for many to just collect government handouts.

How about the billions of dollars that they suck out of our economy and send to Mexico
