Thread: Could every 18th person in my country be illegal ?

Lets do a little hypothetical scenario with some factual numbers. In Feb. 2006 a study showed there were between 400,000 and 500,000(probable more) illegal aliens in North Carolina.(80% are from Mexico and other Latin American countries) Now North Carolina has 100 Counties which gives you an estimated 4000 to 5000 per county( yes I know some counties have more than others). But just say each county was equal that would be about 5000 extra criminals walking around in your county (civil and criminal violation of US immigration laws).
Now my county has a population of 89,162 so if there are 5000 illegal criminal invaders (not including your every day American criminal). That would hypothetically mean every 17.8324 person(s) in my county is an illegal criminal invader.
Hey, North Carolina are you worried yet ?? Coming to your corner or next door soon.
No, I didn't have anything better to do this morning that try and worry some fellow tar heels

Wasn't it North Carolina that was talking about putting them on buses and taking them back to mexico? If they do, I hope they show it on the news, I just have to see this!

The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Floridians
revised October 2005

Analysis of the latest Census data indicates Florida's illegal immigrant population is costing the state's taxpayers nearly two billion dollars per year for education, medical care and incarceration. Even if the estimated taxes collected from illegal immigrant workers are subtracted, net outlays still amount to nearly one billion dollars per year. The annual fiscal burden amounts to about $315 per Florida household headed by a native-born resident.

This analysis looks specifically at the costs to the state for education, health care and incarceration resulting from illegal immigration. These three are the largest cost areas, and they are the same three areas analyzed in a 1994 study conducted by the Urban Institute, which provides a useful baseline for comparison a decade later. Other studies have been conducted in the interim, showing trends that support the conclusions of this report.

There are other significant costs associated with illegal immigration, and federal and state officials should take these into account as well. Even without accounting for all of the numerous areas in which costs associated with illegal immigration are being incurred by Florida taxpayers, the program areas analyzed in this study indicate that the burden is substantial and that the costs are rapidly increasing.

The nearly two billion dollars in costs incurred by Florida taxpayers annually result from outlays in the following areas:

Education. Based on estimates of the illegal immigrant population in Florida and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Floridians spend more than $1.5 billion annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings. About 8.7 percent of the K-12 public school students in Florida are children of illegal aliens.


Health Care. Taxpayer-funded, unreimbursed medical outlays for health care provided to the state's illegal alien population amount to about $165 million a year.


Incarceration. The uncompensated cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in Florida's state and county prisons amounts to about $155 million a year (not including local jail detention costs or related law enforcement and judicial expenditures or the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).
State and local taxes paid by the unauthorized immigrant population go toward offsetting these costs, but they do not come near to matching the expenses. The total of such payments can generously be estimated at about $910 million per year.

The fiscal costs of illegal immigration do not end with these three major cost areas. The total costs of illegal immigration to the state's taxpayers would be considerably higher if other cost areas such as special English instruction, welfare programs used by the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, or welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal alien workers were also calculated.

Soon it will be "look right then left and they aren't then you are".
