The Cost of Illegal Immigration

This is from the Americans for Immigration Control web site.

In 1986, Congress granted amnesty to 3.1 million illegal aliens.
In 1990, Congress increased legal immigration by 40%, and granted amnesty to the illegal relatives of aliens who benefitted from the previous amnesty.
Each year more than 1.3 million legal and illegal aliens settle permanently in the U.S.
90% of all new arrivals are from the Third World. Most are poorly skilled and uneducated.
Each year, more than 72,000 aliens are arrested for drug offenses in the U.S.
More than 25% of all federal prison inmates are aliens.
In 1992, immigrants cost taxpayers $42.5 billion net in public assistance.
Between 1997 and 2006, the projected total net cost to taxpayers for immigration will be $865.98 Billion.

Please folks, take action. Don't let our country be bullied away from us.

Until next time,
