ILLEGAL ALIENS A BOOMING INDUSTRY FOR MEXICO/SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES


All you hard working and unemployed legal Americans, here are a few facts that I’m sure will make your day!

Last year Mexico received more than $17 billion in remittances.

(REMITTANCE-MONEY SENT BACK TO HOME COUNTRY BY ILLEGALS WORKING IN THE UNITED STATES)

The amount of remittances in Mexico exceeds the amount of foreign direct investment in the country. This is not surprising given that a significant portion of Hispanics in the United States are of Mexican descent.

Other Latin American countries like El Salvador are popular destinations for remittances. In 2005 approximately $2.5 billion was sent to El Salvador. The amount represented more than 13% of El Salvador’s GDP, or gross domestic product.

It is estimated that Latin Americans residing in the United States send $30 billion dollars to their native countries.

A report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) cited several interesting statistics based on census data. Some of these facts may be familiar to long-time readers… but I wanted each of you to know the enormous costs placed on the United States…

Our government continues to claim that the war on terror is bankrupting us. But what about these numbers? You do the math…

$11 billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.

Illegal households only pay about one-third the amount of federal taxes that non-illegal households pay.

Illegal households create a net fiscal deficit at the federal level of more than $10 billion a year. If given amnesty, this number could grow to more than $29 billion.

$1.9 billion dollars a year is spent on food-assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC and free school lunches for illegal aliens.

$1.6 billion is spent on the federal prison and court system for illegal aliens.

$2.5 billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.

About 21 percent of the population of U.S. prisons is classified as “non citizens” from Mexico, Colombia, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. About 5 percent is listed as “unknown.”

Immigration costs like all “costs” come out of the “TAXPAYER” hide. These costs represent additional money creation that dilutes all the savings and assets in America.
