Free lawyers, no back taxes, breaks on tuition, and getting immediate legal status in the United States? Where do American citizens sign up for this deal and why would any foreigners want to bother with following our laws when they'd be better off if they just ignored them, entered our country illegally, and bought some fake documents that show that they were here in December of 2006? When you reward people for breaking the law and punish people for respecting it, don't be surprised if you get a lot more law breaking. That's why this amnesty is expected to cover 12-20 million people when the one in 1986 covered less than 3 million illegals. It's also why the next amnesty, if this bill passes, will probably apply to 30-40 million illegals a couple of decades hence.
5) The price tag for the American taxpayers from this bill will top two trillion dollars! Senator Jim Bunning, step up to the plate and tell us about the cost of "low skill immigrant households,"
"Each of these households pays about $10,000 annually in taxes. That is less than almost every other American household. What is more alarming is how much they are receiving. Each of these households receives an average of $30,000 a year in immediate benefits. That means each low-skilled amnesty household costs the American taxpayer nearly $20,000 each year—twice what they are paying in.
If we look at a breakdown in what they are receiving, that’s $30,000 a year in Social Security, Medicare, transfer programs, cash, food, housing, social services, medical care, public education, and population-based services like police and fire protection. $30,000 seems like a pretty hefty welcome basket just for crossing our border.
Most American families are taxpayers during their working years and tax takers during retirement. Not the low skill amnesty family. The low skill amnesty household takes more from the government than it pays in at every level. Therefore, claims that we can save Social Security and other programs by importing young immigrant workers are simply myths.
The most expensive group, of course, is the 65 and older crowd. They cost the American taxpayer, on average, almost $32,000 per year, every year. If we consider only the illegals given amnesty, those costs will add up to over two trillion dollars – that’s trillion with a “T” – over their lifetime."
In other words, the price for that "cheap foreign labor" that businesses will get out of this deal, aside from lost jobs and depressed wages for American workers, is more than two trillion dollars in debt for the rest of us. That's why anyone who supports this bill has lost the right, now and forever, to call himself a fiscal conservative or claim that he cares about the size of the deficit.
