DHS confirms cheaper to deport every illegal alien than allowing them to stay

[Forever_frost]

On December 3, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs, Nelson Peacock, responding to request from several U.S. Senators, including Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), wrote: “Our conservative estimate suggests that ICE would require a budget of more than $135 billion to apprehend, detain and remove the nation’s entire illegal immigrant population.”


In July 2010, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released the results of a study which examined the costs of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local levels. The study found that U.S. state and local governments shell out $84.2 billion annually in various services (law enforcement, schools, social services, etc.), with California taxpayers alone, spending $21 billion on illegal aliens every year.


The same study found that $29 billion is spent every year in federal funds on illegal aliens.


So, while it would cost a one-time fee of about $135 billion to deport every single illegal alien in the country, it is actually a bargain considering the fact that it already costs us $113 billion annually to keep them here.


In other words, the mass deportation would pay for itself in a little over a year.


Incidentally, in 2007, the DHS estimated the cost of deporting all illegal aliens to be approximately $94 billion.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriba!

but the question is how to keep them from coming back across the border? I am all for deportation and 100% against any kind of amnesty. I appreciate that some people came here for a better life, etc. But there are ways to do it legally. Once someone came across illegally, then that right to a better life goes away.

And this crap about anchor babies is 100% BS. If 2 illegal parents have a child born here, that does not make them a U.S. citizen. Even though the child is not at fault, the child is still an illegal immigrant.

You mine the border and shoot anyone crossing it.

I have ALWAYS believed this. It should be that at least one be a citizen.

When my second son was born the wife had minor complications, had to be in the hospital for three days. In that time she had to share the room with three different Hispanic mothers to be, who did not speak a word of English.

They pop them out like a kid that finds his first sheet of bubble wrap.

Hell, there are companies now that purposely house non-citizen pregnant women and help them go into labor on American soil just so they can spit out an anchor baby.
