Illegal Immigration Costs California .5 Billion Annually

State's "cheap labor" costs average household $1,183 a year
Dateline: December, 2004
In hosting America's largest population of illegal immigrants, California bears a huge cost to provide basic human services for this fast growing, low-income segment of its population. A new study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) examines the costs of education, health care and incarceration of illegal aliens, and concludes that the costs to Californians is $10.5 billion per year.
Among the key finding of the report are that the state's already struggling K-12 education system spends approximately $7.7 billion a year to school the children of illegal aliens who now constitute 15 percent of the student body. Another $1.4 billion of the taxpayers' money goes toward providing health care to illegal aliens and their families, the same amount that is spent incarcerating illegal aliens criminals.
"California's addiction to 'cheap' illegal alien labor is bankrupting the state and posing enormous burdens on the state's shrinking middle class tax base," stated Dan Stein, President of FAIR.
"Most Californians, who have seen their taxes increase while public services deteriorate, already know the impact that mass illegal immigration is having on their communities, but even they may be shocked when they learn just how much of a drain illegal immigration has become."
The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Californians focuses on three specific program areas because those were the costs examined by researchers from the Urban Institute in 1994. Looking at the costs of education, health care and incarceration for illegal aliens in 1994, the Urban Institute estimated that California was subsidizing illegal immigrants to the tune of about $1.1 billion. The enormous rise in the costs of illegal immigrants over the intervening ten years is due to the rapid growth in illegal residents. It is reasonable to expect those costs to continue to soar if action is not taken to turn the tide.
"Nineteen ninety-four was the same year that California voters rebelled and overwhelmingly passed Proposition 187, which sought to limit liability for mass illegal immigration. Since then, state and local governments have blatantly ignored the wishes of the voters and continued to shell out publicly financed benefits on illegal aliens," said Stein. "Predictably, the costs of illegal immigration have grown geometrically, while the state has spiraled into a fiscal crisis that has brought it near bankruptcy.
"Nothing could more starkly illustrate the very high costs of ‘cheap labor' than California's current situation," continued Stein. "A small number of powerful interests in the state reap the benefits, while the average native-born family in California gets handed a nearly $1,200 a year bill."
The Federation for American Immigration Reform is a nonprofit, public-interest, membership organization advocating immigration policy reforms that would tighten border security and prevent illegal immigration, while reducing legal immigration levels from about 1.1 million persons per year to 300,000 per year.
I completely agree with you, me and my family were illegal too, we just got fixed up and my mom most likely won't. These Americans just spread these false facts like wildfire to support their racial arguements. I can bring many statistics just as the answerer before me showing how the U.S. benefits from illegals by the millions. But you know, it doesn't matter how good our arguement is, people see what they WANT to see even if it's not there..
because most Americans are dumb!!!! i believe you, i know quite a few illegals who do pay taxes,,,, the thing is, americans like to look for someone to blame, they'd rather point the fingers at the new wave of immigrants rather than realize it is them who is destroying this country that they love so much, they are good for it, blame the blacks, blame the indians, blame the italians, blame the irish,, now its the mexicans,, most of the problems that people are complaining about existed way b4 the mexicans started flooding in, crime, tax fraud, drugs, pollution,, none of these things are the mexicans fault,, lets check the facts at hand people,, how many white guys are arressted every year for tax fraud,, and u want to complain that mexicans dont pay taxes,, what is the basis of their arguments??? because a few mexicans didnt pay taxes? SO WHAT millions of americans dont ,or they lie on them, having other people claim their kids and $hit just so they can get a tax credit,,, yeah u know u do it,,,this whole thing is becoming americans vs mexicans and its disgusting,, this is not the white mans land and i never will see it that way ,no matter how many lil whiny americans say it is,,, it makes me ill that we look to blame every one else for the $hit we do to our own country,,, america is a greedy nation and is going under fast,,, I hope all the racist sobs reap what they sow,,, the only reason any uf us are in this country is because our ancestors came over, got prego and squirted us out,, how did the indians feel about that??? ya thats what i thought,, u people are insane,,,,,,
Just because the people you know that are illegal pay taxes, doesn't mean that the majority of them do. You and your family sound nice, but because you are illegal I truly have no sympathy for you and how you feel. (Use the first guy's sources, I'd trust they are accurate.)
