    Illegal immigration costing record $135 billion a year, study shows

    By Paul Bedard, Washington Examiner

    The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet.

    And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion.

    State and local governments are getting ravaged by the costs, at over $88 billion. The federal government, by comparison, is getting off easy at $45 billion in costs for illegals.

    President Trump, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and conservatives in Congress are moving aggressively to deal with illegals, especially those with long criminal records. But their effort is being fought by courts and some 300 so-called "sanctuary communities" that refuse to work with federal law enforcement.


    The added burden on taxpayers and the unfairness to those who have applied to come into the United States through legal channels is also driving the administration's immigration crackdown.

    The report, titled "The Fiscal Burden Of Illegal Immigration on U.S. Taxpayers," is the most comprehensive cost tally from FAIR. It said that the costs have jumped about $3 billion in four years and will continue to surge unless illegal immigration is stopped. It was provided in advance exclusively to Secrets.


    "Clearly, the cost of doing nothing to stop illegal immigration is far too high," said FAIR Executive Director Dan Stein. "President Trump has laid out a comprehensive strategy to regain control of illegal immigration and bring down these costs," said Stein. "Building the wall, enhancing interior enforcement and mandating national E-Verify will go a long way in bringing these ridiculously high costs under control," he added.

    Over 68 often shocking pages, FAIR documents the average $8,075 in state, local and federal spending for each of the of 12.5 million illegal immigrants and their 4.2 million citizen children.

    Broadly, the costs include $29 billion in medical care, $23 billion for law enforcement, $9 billion in welfare, $46 billion for education.


    ust consider the cost of teaching an illegal alien child who doesn't speak English. FAIR estimates an average cost of over $12,000 a year, and that can reach $25,000 in New York. Add to that welfare, health care, school lunches, and the per student price soars.

    In state costs alone, California leads the list at $23 billion per year, followed by Texas at $11 billion, and New York at $7.4 billion.

    And it also documents the taxes paid and how they don't come close to offsetting the costs. What's more, FAIR noted that 35 percent of the illegal population operate in an underground economy hidden from tax collectors. And worse, employers hire illegals and either pay them cheaply or under the table.

    "The United States recoups only about 14 percent of the amount expended annually on illegal aliens. If the same jobs held by illegal aliens were filled by legal workers, at the prevailing market wage, it may safely be presumed that federal, state and local governments would receive higher tax payments," said FAIR.

    Key findings pulled from the report:

    - The staggering total costs of illegal immigrants and their children outweigh the taxes paid to federal and state governments by a ratio of roughly 7 to 1, with costs at nearly $135 billion compared to tax revenues at nearly $19 billion.

    - The nearly $135 billion paid out by federal and state and local taxpayers to cover the cost of the presence of 12.5 million illegal aliens and their 4.2 million citizen children amounts to approximately $8,075 per illegal alien and citizen child prior to taxes paid, or $6,940 per person after taxes are paid.

    - On the federal level, medical ($17.14 billion) is by far the highest cost, with law enforcement coming second ($13.15 billion) and general government services ($8 billion) third.

    - At the state and local level, education ($44.4 billion) was by far the largest expense, followed by general public services ($18.5 billion) and medical ($12.1 billion).

    - The top three states based on total cost to state taxpayers for illegal immigrants and their children: California ($23 billion); Texas ($10.9 billion), and New York ($7.5 billion).

    India's 'Silicon Valley,' Bangalore is fast becoming a serious global player

    Và đây là vấn đề thứ 2 mà 8 năm của Tổng Thống trước đã để lại..... He let so many Indians (from India) entered the US and worked under the "umbrella" of H1B VISA...

    Cuộc sống của thế hệ chúng ta, công ăn việc làm, nhà cữa, gia đình,... tương đối đã ổn định, bình an, nhiều người đã hay sắp sửa thảnh thơi về hưu.... Nhưng thế hệ con cháu chúng ta sẽ phải tranh đấu gay go trong học vấn, việc làm,.... Còn ai dám học về Software, Computer engineers,.....? Khi bọn Ấn có quốc tịch Mỹ thì dần dần những việc làm trong chánh phủ và trong những hảng Defense như Boeing, Lockheed Martin sẽ tràn ngập chúng nó.

    Bây giờ Silicon Valley, CA. và những thành phố với những hảng Hi Tech với hi- paid jobs sẽ bị tụi cà ri nị lấy hết..... Việc làm ở những hảng Hi Tech không còn dể dàng cho con cháu chúng ta như thời chúng ta mới qua Mỹ '75 và những năm cúa 80's, 90's.

    Những vùng, những khu nhà cửa đều bị bọn Tàu và cà ri nị đổ xô mua... Khu nhà tôi lúc đầu có 2 nhà Việt Nam và 5 nhà Mỹ trắng, bây giờ chỉ còn 1 nhà VN, 2 nhà Mỹ trắng và 4 nhà kia bọn cà ri nị mua lại của những gia đình dọn đi.


    1. India's 'Silicon Valley,' Bangalore is fast becoming a serious global player


    Startup entrepreneurs exchange ideas in Bangalore's government-funded Startup Warehouse

    .Ask natives of Asia’s two giants, China and India, what they think of the other, and not infrequently, the jokes and stereotypes fly. At least some people in each country seem to enjoy secretly — or not so secretly — looking down on the other.
    So when an Indian official took the stage at a Chinese-sponsored high-tech conference in San Francisco last fall, made a joke about Chinese having to check with the teachings of Chairman Mao before they could answer a simple question, and then made the case for "why India Rocks, Bangalore roars, and Silicon Valley will soon be Bangalored," some of the Chinese members of the audience were practically sputtering.

    “Just to be more objective ... one in five drugs exported from India are fake,” one said in the question period. “And also, electronics, India exports the most fakes to the US."...

    2. Silicon Valley’s Indian Community Pushes to Reform H1B Visa Program


    The H1B visa is such a big deal for the Indian expatriate community in Silicon Valley that immigration lawyer Madhuri Nemali has been able to build her business around it. Nemali says over half of her clients are Indian nationals struggling with some aspect of the visa program.

    The H1B is a temporary work permit that’s intended for those with highly specialized skills, like computer engineering. Workers from India receive far more H1Bs than people from any other country — some years, nearly 10 times as many as workers from China, who are second on the list.

    Hundreds of thousands of Indian expats hold H1B visas. Many live in Silicon Valley, and many feel the H1B program has major problems no one is addressing.
