"The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a conservative advocacy group that favors tighter immigration laws, argues that the answer is clear: illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers more than $100 billion each year.
Jack Martin, director of special projects for FAIR, says the group is still working on its estimate, but believes undocumented workers leave taxpayers with a fat bill, considering that the government spends money on the workers, and they almost never pay income taxes.
"The study of the fiscal effects of illegal immigration clearly demonstrates that it is a burden on the American taxpayer," says Martin. More forceful implementation of immigration laws could save each U.S. household "in the neighborhood of a couple of thousand dollars a year."
If I'm paying a couple thousand a year for illegal persons to live here, one of them really needs to do my lawn. I do not think that is much to ask. Maybe his wife could clean my baseboards and do light dusting while he is trimming. That would be fair.
If you know of a trustworthy illegal family, please tell them Cracker will drop the dime on them if they don't get busy at her house. Thank you.
