I received this from BJ1 via email. People can debate the ILLEGAL immigration issue all they want but until raw numbers are presented the magnitude of the problem is hard to understand. Look at these numbers and then think about what it says at the end. How much will it cost us when they triple the number of people here?
For those who say ILLEGALS are a benefit to our society, I would like to see figures showing they produce more than the nearly half a trillion dollars they consume.
Also note that the consumption of Social Security is nearly 400 Billion dollars. Any wonder it is going broke and is there any wonder why they won’t let us privatize it? They need us to pay for all these blood suckers.
Check out these figures, has the U.S. Gone mad or is it just the people who are running it…
So often, we get caught up in a debate over political semantics and end up ignoring the hard-shell realities of what we’re talking about. According to immigration counters , here are some of the realities that the Flake-Gutierrez Bill would airbrush out of the picture:
Number of Illegal Aliens in the Country
20,807,645
Money Wired to Mexico City since January, 2006
$ 22,213,001,672.00
Cost of Social Security Services for Illegal Aliens since 1996
$397,450,739,563.00
Number of Children of Illegal Aliens in Public Schools
3,958,789
Cost of Illegal Aliens in K-12 Since 1996:
$ 13, 965,063,431.00
Number of Illegal Aliens Incarcerated
332,594
Cost of Incarcerations Since 2001
$ 1,398,127,429.00
Number of Illegal Aliens Fugitives
642,799
Skilled Jobs Taken by Illegal Aliens
9,872,838
Figures can trick your eyes. Take particular note that items 2,3,5, and 7 reflect BILLIONS not millions of dollars — and that item 3 exceeds one-third of a TRILLION dollars.
Can you imagine how much it will cost taxpayers if we triple the number of Illegal’s entering this country!!
