Cormier: Nine reasons to enforce immigration laws

Statistics have finally been compiled and released by the government as to the effects illegals or undocumented aliens are having on our surffering economy and the results are shocking:

1. $90 billion per year on welfare and social services spent on illegals.

2. $2.2 billion per year on food stamps and free school lunches to

illegals.

3. $2.5 billion yearly on Medicaid for illegals.

4. $12 billion yearly on primary and secondary education for illegal students who speak no English.

5. $17 billion yearly on anchor babies born to illegals.

6. $3 million a day to incarcerate illegal criminals who now make up 30 percent of inmates in Federal prisons. Illegals have a crime rate two and a half times that of white non-illegals and last year they committed nearly 1 million sex crimes.

7. at least $200 billion in suppressed wages to Americans caused by illegals. (They take jobs at a lesser pay rate).

8. In 2005, 4-10 million illegals crossed our southern border and in 2006 illegals sent home $45 billion to their countries of origin.

9. the National Policy Institute estimates it would cost $206-$230 billion over a five-year period for a mass deportation program to fix a problem that’s costing taxpayers $124.2 billion yearly now, without taking the suppressed wage issue into account.
