States and localities bear the brunt of the costs that illegal aliens impose on taxpayers. … State and local costs for services siphoned by illegal aliens and their anchor babies now total $391 million a year in South Carolina.
Illegal Aliens Not “Innocent Immigrants”; U.S., Dem. Party Wasting …
neosecularist.com1/27/12
Why would we want to reelect a man, Barack Obama, who would give the potential illegal alien that much more incentive to become a criminal illegal alien? Isn't it more cost-effective to the American taxpayer to advance a “no …
How Many Illegals In The US And What Is The Cost?
It’s obviously impossible to come up with exact figures because illegal aliens don’t reply to census questionnaires, but the U.S. Border Patrol Union Local 2544 in Tucson, Ariz., says the total number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. today is somewhere between 12 million and 15 million.
And basing its figures on the "Current Population Survey", which is a monthly assessment of about 50,000 households jointly conducted by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau, The Pew Hispanic Center estimates that there are between 11.5 million to 12 million "unauthorized migrants" living in the U.S. today.
Bear Stearns (download pdf) says however that based on school enrollments, foreign remittances, border crossings, and housing permits that, "there is significant evidence that the census estimates of undocumented immigrants may be capturing as little as half of the total undocumented population", meaning that there might well be as many as 20 million illegal immigrants in the US today.
How Much Are Illegal Aliens Costing The U.S. ?
The following estimates are in billions and not millions!
Illegal aliens are said to be costing the welfare system between $14 billion and $22 billion every year – Federation for American Immigration Reform
Medicaid use by illegal aliens costs the U.S. 7.5 billion every year- Center for Immigration Studies
In 2006, illegal aliens sent an estimated $65 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin, to their families and friends – rense.com
The following information was sourced from and interview on - Lou Dobbs Tonight
Primary and secondary school education for illegal aliens is said to be costing $12 billion dollars a year.
Anchor (American-born children of illegal aliens) children another $27 billion a year.
The incarceration of illegal aliens – $1.2 billion a year and 28% of all federal prison inmates are reckoned to be illegal aliens.
Every single year a massive $190 billion dollars is spent on welfare and social services for illegal aliens.
It is thought that illegal aliens cause American wages to be suppressed by around $200 billion dollars per year.
The above figures are not 100% accurate of course, but they’re based on extensive research, so it’s probably safe to say that illegal immigration is costing the U.S. around $500 billion a year and $500 billion is half a trillion dollars!
And How Much Do Illegal Immigrants Pay in Taxes?
Most experts agree that many illegal immigrants are paying taxes to Uncle Sam, but just how much they pay is hard to determine because the federal government doesn’t fully tally it.
"The latest available figures indicate however that it will amount to billions of dollars in federal income, Social Security and Medicare taxes this year and one rough estimate puts the amount of Social Security taxes alone at around $9 billion per year". – MSNBC
So What’s To Be Done?
Mass Deportation?
According to The National Policy Institute, the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, and you can download a free copy of the The National Policy Institute ebook entitled, deportation if you’re interested in more details.
How Much Overall Support Is There For Reducing Immigration?
What Steps Was It Recommended That The Government Take?
In 1995, the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform asked the National Research Council / National Academy of Sciences to study the economic and fiscal effects of immigration.
Here are the principle findings of their extensive analysis, published in 1997 as The New Americans: Economic, Demographic, and Fiscal Effects of Immigration (ISBN 0-309-06356-6).
Their recommendations on Illegal Immigration were to.
Restrict the eligibility of illegal aliens for publicly-funded assistance.
Implement a nationwide system for easily verifying authorization to work (specifically, a computerized registry based on a secure
social security card).Increase the resource for border management and interior enforcement.
Is There The Political Will To Implement Either Of The Above?
Obviously not, because in spite of a recent Pew survey (and all other polls that I’ve seen confirm it) showing that 73%of those polled approved of Arizona’s new immigration plan, and in spite of many other States wanting to adopt it, the Obama administration is seeking to have Arizona’s new law ruled unlawful.
The Answer To The Question
A Mexican journalist by the name of Evangelina Hernandez asked in Denver recently, "Illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes. What Happens to your country’s economy if 20 million people go away?".
The answer would of course be, that the U.S. would be close to $500 billion a year better off, and

Obama Rejected Numerous Proposals to Retrieve Lost U.S. Drone …
atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com12/9/11
Apart from the obvious — Islamic Iran, China and Russia now have state-of-the-art stealth technology and we lose a killer app in the war against the enemies of freedom, the most troubling aspect of this story is that Obama had a window of opportunity to retrieve the critical intelligence gathering drone and rejected it. He left it there for the murdering mullahs. With early knowledge that the aircraft had likely remained intact, the senior U.S. official also told Fox News that …
Gay donors fuel Obama's 2012 bid – Catholic Citizens

The left-leaning super-rich, including George Soros, see Obama as hopelessly compromised and have lost their enthusiasm for him. Some Wall Street and hedge fund executives, tired of being criticized and regulated, have …
It’s somewhat hard to believe that this conversation took place on an MSNBC panel.
And I’m somewhat stunned by it!
On Morning Joe, a consensus emerged that Barack Obama doesn’t believe he has failed America, but rather that America has failed him.
Joe Scarborough encapsulated, saying,
"Obama sees our version of democracy as a stumbling block to his greatness".
More quotes:
"He believes that the country is not commensurate with his gifts".
"He thinks this country has an 18th constitutional republic that needs significant updating".
"He sees elected leaders from across the country as a stumbling block".
"And he sees democracy as …".
"He sees this government as a stumbling block that’s getting in the way of his greatness!".
I never thought I’d say it but,
"If this was on Morning Jow, then it must be true".
Does this video signify the end of the leftist MSM’s support for Obama?
That Obama was coming from the extreme left was never in doubt because he was a member of the New Party (communist) just twelve years before he was elected.
And he didn’t quit his prominent role; the courts shut the New Party down!
Did the MSM believe that he would be less left than his past portrayed?
Who knows, but let’s hope that they now understand and continue to downgrade him.
He has to go and maybe now there is a uniformity or opinion on it!?
