Stating the Obvious: Immigration Costs You Money


A new study: http://www.esrresearch.com/Rubensteinreport.pdf by noted economist Edwin S. Rubinstein analyzes the economic and fiscal impact of immigration– both legal and illegal– on 15 different federal agencies… meaning the cost to you and me.

From the report: “[The National Research Council] found [in 1997] that the average immigrant household receives $13,326 in federal annual expenditures and pays $10,664 in federal taxes—that is, they generate a fiscal deficit of $2,682 (1996 dollars) per household. In 2007 dollars this is a deficit of $3,408 per immigrant household.â€

In 2007 dollars this is a deficit of $3,408 per immigrant household.

With 9 million households currently headed by immigrants, more than $30 billion ($3,408 x 9 million) of the federal deficit represents money transferred from native taxpayers to immigrants.

Totally outrageous and mind boggling when you think deeply about it!!! HOW DARE THIS BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN!!!! WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!
