Our recent post — and poll — on the cost of illegal immigration has gotten a lot of discussion going about how those costs are counted, what the costs actually are and whether the cost of raising the child of an illegal immigrant should be part of the equation.

That got me wondering where people get their information about the actual financial burden — or benefits — of illegal immigration and about what people think the status of the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants should be.

One commenter had this to say about the cost issue:

Perhaps the OCR should read up on this issue before publishing such a politically correct piece of garbage. For one, start with the RAND study which reported handsdown that illegal aliens have a net negative effect on the economy. Then consider all of the other social problems with illegal immigration: disrespect for the English language, disrespect for the American culture, disrespect for immigration laws, and all of the crime perpetrated by illegals…

My question, which RAND study? I did a search on the RAND Corporation website and didn’t find anything specific to this topic. If OCVoice could send the URL I’ll post it.

In fact, any time you have a study you want us to check out, send it along.

Here are some stories we have done that cite RAND studies:

* Financial medicine for ERs kicks in
* Illegal immigrants and health care
* Changing the economics of illegal immigration

Like our government will listen to any polls! They haven't yet.

They can't count them because the government officials don't let us know the citizen status out very often.

That way uninformed people won't think there is a problem.

Well lets just see how CA does getting themselves out of their overburdened situation!

I would think there would be a revolt against their fools making the laws?

WorriedAmerican:

THE REVOLT IS GOING TO START WHEN THE ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIENS CAN'T GET ANYMORE FUNDS; AND ARE DEPORTED BY THE 100'S DAILY.

MASSIVE REVOLT; PROBABLY WITH MILITARY STEPPING IN TO CONTROL THE PROBLEMS IN THE STREET;

IT IS COMING CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE 22 AUGUST 2008

22 AUGUST 2008 LAST DAY TO SELF-DEPORT; ICE IS GOING AFTER OVER 500,000 ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIENS

ICED OVER AMERICA IS JUST GETTING GOING

Like for news release re. a Rand study:
http://www.rand.org/news/press.06/11.14.html

My wife and a couple of her sisters are nurses and have worked at numerous hospitals. They all believe illegal aliens are a burdon on the healthcare system, in that they don't pay for healthcare.

We actually pay for their health care. Our tax dollars are used to support many failing hospitals. Other hospitals have closed.

CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE 22 AUGUST 2008

WHAT'S happening on the 22nd? What have I forgot?

I want to mark my calendar...
