Analysis of the latest Census data indicates Florida's illegal immigrant population is costing the state's taxpayers $4.3 billion per year for education, medical care and incarceration. Even if the estimated taxes collected from illegal immigrant workers are subtracted, net outlays still amount to more than $3.3 billion per year.......
......The total costs of illegal immigration to the state's taxpayers would be considerably higher if other cost areas such as special English instruction, welfare programs used by the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, or welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal alien workers were also calculated......
--------------------------------------
They go into a great deal of detail in how they arrived at their numbers, in addition they provide recommendations on how to stop this.
I believe that illegal immigration is going to be the hot topic in the 2008 presidential elections. Folks are just getting tired of their communities being over run by law breakers and the slime ball polititians that pander to the interests of non-citizens. Americans are tired of being lied to and having the federal government steam roll its way (can we say CAFTA?) through. We have eyes and politically correct dogma is losing it's appeal as we see that it is really nothing more than emporer's new clothes.
