Polis to Obama and Boehner: Immigration reform could be worth billions
By Scot Kersgaard | 07.08.11 | 12:58 pm

Congressman Jared Polis today called for the inclusion of comprehensive immigration reform in any negotiated package presented to Congress to raise the debt limit and cut the deficit. In a letter to President Obama and Speaker Boehner, Polis outlined how he thinks immigration reform could increase federal revenues by billions of dollars, helping to close the budget deficit.


Rep. Jared Polis (Kersgaard)

“[I]mmigration reform would generate $4.5 to $5.4 billion in additional net tax revenue over three years,â€

Ohh yah, I'm all for immigration reform now. A whole extra $5 billion or so in taxes? That really helps cut down on the hundreds of billions a year spent on illegal aliens at only the federal level....

Ohh wait, maybe instead of raising revenue they should instead look at cutting costs. Cut out all costs to illegal aliens and we save how many hundreds of billions? Stop the healthcare, welfare, court hearings, long deportations, housing, education, and even inmates in prison. Deport every single one of them 24 hour turnover from time caught to time out of country. Then use a fraction of those savings to secure the border with the National Guard and militarize it.

A report by the Center for American Progress found that passing comprehensive immigration reform would generate $4.5 to $5.4 billion in additional net tax revenue over three years. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office scored the bi-partisan 2007 comprehensive immigration reform bill that was proposed in the Senate as increasing federal revenues by $15 billion over the 2008-2012 period and by $48 billion over the 2008-2017 period.

AMEN to that my patriot friend!!!!

Thats a fraudulant number because it just has illegal aliens taking the jobs of American citizens and it doesnt subtract the losses from their tax income...The only thing that comes from his amnesty is Americans out of the jobs that were literally stolen. But now its illegals making the money and payin the taxes...
