Illegal immigration is a "major problem" of some significance according to 68% of American
voters.
That is according to a recent Rasmussen Reports poll that shows many Americans are increasingly
concerned in spite of the attempts of mainstream media propagandists attempting to convince
much of America otherwise.
A mere 32% of the respondents to the telephone and online surveys stated illegal immigration
is "not a serious problem," and a paltry 9% stated the issue is "not at all serious."
The Trump administration continues to crack down on the illegal alien invasion as U.S.
Border Patrol agents arrest two massive groups of illegal aliens including unaccompanied
minors in just over 24 hours in Texas.
"U.S. Border Patrol agents scooped up 131 illegal immigrants, including 22 unaccompanied
minors, in just a little over a day in the Rio Grande Valley, officials said Tuesday.
"The arrests stem from two separate incidents in a span of just over 24 hours.
"Weslaco agents first arrested 66 illegals from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras
on Monday.
The group comprised 20 families and 11 unaccompanied minors.
"Then on Tuesday, Weslaco agents arrested an additional 65 illegal immigrants from Guatemala
and El Salvador.
That group was made up of 25 families and 11 unaccompanied children.
"Officials said in a press release that all 131 illegal immigrants were being processed
by the Border Patrol."
All in all a total of 45 family units and 22 unaccompanied minors were included among
those illegal aliens arrested.
There are approximately 1,857,000 illegal aliens residing in the state of Texas, making
it the state with the second-highest number of illegal alien invaders living within its
borders, surpassed only by the state of California.
The total illegal alien population for the entire United States is just north of 12 million,
according to the Federation for Immigration Reform (FAIR).
Around 62% of illegal aliens are from Mexico, which translates to more than six million
illegal Mexican aliens within American borders without consent or permission.
The number two country is El Salvador and accounts for only about half a million or
so and the numbers go down from there from places such as Guatemala, Honduras, the Philippines,
Korea, Ecuador, Brazil, and China.
Just how much does that cost the American taxpaying citizenry of the United States?
According to FAIR:
"At the federal, state, and local levels, taxpayers shell out approximately $134.9 billion
to cover the costs incurred by the presence of more than 12.5 million illegal aliens,
and about 4.2 million citizen children of illegal aliens.
That amounts to a tax burden of approximately $8,075 per illegal alien family member and
a total of $115,894,597,664.
The total cost of illegal immigration to U.S. taxpayers is both staggering and crippling.
In 2013, FAIR estimated the total cost to be approximately $113 billion.
So, in under four years, the cost has risen nearly $3 billion.
This is a disturbing and unsustainable trend.
The sections below will break down and further explain these numbers at the federal, state,
and local levels.
"The Federal government spends a net amount of $45.8 billion on illegal aliens and their
U.S.-born children.
This amount includes expenditures for public education, medical care, justice enforcement
initiatives, welfare programs, and other miscellaneous costs.
It also factors in the meager amount illegal aliens pay to the federal government in income,
social security, Medicare and excise taxes.

A young Mexican helps a compatriot to climb the metal wall that divides the border between

US President Donald Trump on April 5, 2018, said he would send thousands รข€¦
"The approximately $46 billion in federal expenditures attributable to illegal aliens
is staggering.
Assuming an illegal alien population of approximately 12.5 million illegal aliens and 4.2 million
U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, that amounts to roughly $2,746 per illegal alien,
per year.
For the sake of comparison, the average American college student receives only $4,800 in federal
student loans each year."
Leftists and open borders proponents alike frequently cite allegedly large tax contributions
made by illegal aliens as some level of justification for their continued illegal presence within
American borders, as well as a basis for offering them amnesty, similar to what was previously
enacted in 1986 under the Reagan administration.
As FAIR notes, this is little more than a red herring as these "studies" use some
seriously funny math.
Most of them grossly overestimate both taxes actually collected from illegal aliens, as
well as the amounts actually paid by illegal aliens (i.e. the money actually collected
FROM illegals and actually KEPT by federal and state governments).
Since the 1990s, illegal aliens have had little to no fear of deportation for their immigration
status creating an environment where not only are illegal aliens both willing and able to
file tax returns, they are actually incentivized to do so.
Because the vast majority of illegal aliens hold lower-income jobs, many of those that
are subject to wage deductions end up receiving a complete refund of all taxes paid, PLUS
net payments made on the basis of any tax credits.
As a result of this practice, illegal aliens actually PROFIT off the backs of the American
taxpayers by filing a tax return themselves and therefore have a strong self-interest
in doing so.
By FAIR's estimation even though the costs of illegal immigration borne by taxpayers
at the federal level are staggering, they only pale in comparison to the fiscal burden
shouldered by taxpayers at the state level.
As a state, the taxpaying citizens of Texas were forced to shoulder the staggering total
burden of $10,994,614,550 which breaks down to approximately $4,429.00.
The combined total of state and local government general expenditures on illegal aliens is
$18,571,428,571 billion.
Perhaps the leftists and the open borders proponents should just write a check.
