Guess what costs more than the Iraq war?

 

illegal immigrant sign

The Defeatists first said "we're losing the war"!   Then it was "we need change!"  Then it was "there's no reconciliation and meeting of the benchmarks!". NONE of those are claims were or are true.  So, try another tact: it's too expensive! Given that the Twin Tower attack cost our economy well towards $2 trillion dollars in lost economic output, even at the billion dollar level to keep attacks there instead of here, it works. 

However, while the Liberals want to shut down the war and basically do a post-Vietnam dismantling of the military again, they refuse to acknowledge another huge sink of money that is just as expensive, possibly just as dangerous, and certainly more immediate than AQ in Iraq. Thanks to loyal reader Karen, here are some of the costs to the taxpayer of illegal immigration.

The Libs are just great - they always say "if we didn't have to support the military, look what else we spend this money on!".  My response to the money that we spend on people that have broken our laws and that should not be here is "look how much money taxpayers could spend on their own families instead!"

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year.
 
2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.
  
3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
 
4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English!
 
5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
 
6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.
 
7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.
 
8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare and Social Services by the American taxpayers.
 
9. $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
 
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two-and-a-half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US.
 
11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border. Homeland Security Report.
 
12. The National Policy  Institute, "estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between  $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion  annually over a five year period."
 
13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin.
 
14. "The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States."
 

Total cost is a whooping... $338.3 BILLION A YEAR!

Snoops is provided for doubters:
