Immigrant cost study officially received by county board [9/26/07]

San Diego County is getting soaked plenty by the costs of illegal immigration, according to a recent report.

Direct expenditures by the county of San Diego in the 2006-07 fiscal year on behalf of illegal immigrants totaled $101.5 million, according to a report presented Tuesday to the Board of Supervisors.

Nearly half of that sum - $48.5 million - was spent by the Sheriff's Department to house inmates in area jails, according to the report by John Weeks, a San Diego State University professor and director of the school's International Population Center.

For those jail costs, the county was reimbursed $2.3 million by the federal government, according to the report. The North County Times toted up more of the costs, including medical care, and came up with figure of a quarter billion dollars annually:

Illegal immigrants cost San Diego over $256 million in 2006...
As Brian Bilbray remarked on Lou Dobbs, "You can buy a lot of lettuce" with that kind of money.

The county figures obviously do not include the costs of educating the children of illegal alien foreigners, which goes on the state tab.

Can 't wait till the Sanctuary Cities find they have nothing in the kitty or the rainy day fund...gee they may need to hold on to some of those plastic bags and used water bottles when the water shuts down and they are walking

Yeah, but the problem is that they'll ask for Federal funding to bail them out which will come from all of the taxpayers, much like the Mayor of Los Angeles is asking for Federal assistance to deal with the gang problem which he is enabling. Any sanctuary city should be denied any kind of Federal funding.

ITA. Illinois is rocking the same boat. That may be what it will take for them to have a "change of heart".
