As a American taxpayer, how does this make you feel?

Question

“Illegal immigrants are poorer, pay less tax, and are more likely to receive public benefits than American citizens,” said Edwin Rubenstein, reporting on the National Research Council’s new book: “The New Americans: Economic, Demographics and Fiscal Effects of Immigration.” The Social Contract Winter 2007-08.

The NRC found that the average illegal immigrant household receives $13,326 in federal welfare and pays $10,664.00 in federal taxes. Thus, American taxpayers shell out $2,682.00 for each immigrant household.

Answer 1

so unbelievably annoying isn't it???

UK tax payers are in a very similar position.

Answer 2

I just saw a thing on Tv about border patrol and they stopped a guy (from China.so illegal is illegal wherever your from) and when they checked his baggage he had millions of dollars worth of steroids in his suitcase and said he ws planning to see them to high school students and athletes  Another women from China brought in cigarettes full of drugs to sell. but those for illegals say that they don't commit crimes and they don't do harm. Think about the harm that would have been done had those 2 gotten thru border patrol and sold those drugs to our kids. but somehow "they deserve a better life" so that justifies everything right?

Answer 3

I'm surprised that you didn't get an answer from any pro illegals claiming that your source is lying.  This is just the tip of the iceberg on what we as taxpayers are being forced to support.

Answer 4

SICK ,JUST PLAIN OUT SICK. And our politicians that we trusted and voted for turn on us and and stick it to us. Any politician that's up for

re- election that upholds this policy we should vote them out in November no matter what party they are. we have to take our government back ASAP.  

Answer 5

Like a s*****k!

Answer 6

Yes, it makes me sick. It makes me as sick as Affirmative Action and prop 48 in college sports.  No, the best person does not always get the job and  prop. 48 allows a person to play Div 1 sports ( BASKETBALL ANS FOOTBALL ESPECIALLY) that cannot read or has a reading level of a 4th grader at the age of 19 or 20.  

Answer 7

Just them being here stealing jobs from American citizens and driving pay rates down makes me sick. The fact that they recieve any government assistance is disgusting.

If I had it my way I'd deport them and pay Unemployed Americans to line our borders and pick them off as they tryed to come back in.

        

    I personally would do it for free.

Answer 8

That doesn't even include all the medical bills they run up and never pay for, leaving us to pay higher and higher medical costs because we have to pay our bills. Then they drive without insurance and crash and split leaving us with the bill as higher insurance costs. Then there is the crime they do and are never prosecuted for like the rest of us. It's a total crock, and they complain about their treatment here when they treat Colombians who jump their border to jail, shooting, murder, rape, and or robbery without those who do this being prosecuted for it because to them illegal immigrants are fair game because they shouldn't be there. Ask any Mexican illegal immigrant in the US, the Colombians are scum and deserve anything they get because they are in Mexico illegally. Go figure ...
