SAN DIEGO -- Future costs for illegal immigrants in the United States will reach a half a trillion dollars, a Heritage Foundation researcher said Wednesday at congressional hearing in San Diego.
The influx of illegal immigrants has effectively "imported about 10 million high school dropouts into the United States," said Robert Rector, a senior research fellow in welfare and family issues for the Washington, D.C.-based think tank.
The National Academy of Sciences estimated that each immigrant will result in a $100,000 net annual cost to taxpayers.
"This Senate bill will become the largest expansion of the welfare system in 30 years and it's the wrong thing to do," he said.

The issues with illegal immigrants and Anerican immigrants is that our goverment dose not tax them enough to where it should fray the cost.
It cost us as much , all most every day to fight the wars over in the holy lands.
and it cost us as much to pay some senitors and congressmen there pay check every week.
So where is the justices.
and with gas and utilities and local taxes going up besides.
So where is the justices again.
The National Academy of Sciences is nothing but a text book pown on the chess board with facts and figures.
They want you to know, what they want you know bases.
Just like the news media.
And that is politics.

Marie ...
Get real , it is the same old story eye for an rye.
tooth for a tooth.
Get a way from the old school ways and except what changes that are coming.
Why don't you take your hate wars some where else.
This why people like you are caugh in the field of dreams of Carbondale and that is the way it is.
Why don't you try to solveing issues in your back yard first.
Carbondale really needs people that will advance in to future, not people that can not except new change and not except the new America that has ben devloped.
instead of worrying about who is going to sit next to you and how they are going to look.
or what flag they are going to wave in front your face next.
I see you as a political hired farm help spreading the fertilizer .
Since are makeing treaths .
So uncolorful of you.

AS YOU SEE WE CAN NOT KEEP OUR BACK YARDS CLEAN FOR ALL THE ILLEGALS..BUT NOT TO WORRY I STILL POST ALL OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT ADS IN THE BORDER TOWN NEWSPAPERS
Cleanup not cheap, easy
While nobody has an exact cost estimate for removing all the garbage, it's clearly not cheap. But McFarlin agrees with several advocacy groups that without a tightening of controls on illegal immigration, a guest-worker program or other reform of federal border policy, the trash will just keep coming regardless of what's spent.
The financial details:
¡ñ In 2002, the U.S. estimated that removing all litter from lands just in Southeast Arizona ¡ª east of the Tohono Reservation ¡ª would cost about $4.5 million over five years. This count didn't include such trash hotbeds as Ironwood Forest National Monument, the Altar Valley, Organ Pipe and Cabeza Prieta.
¡ñ Since then, Congress appropriated about $3.4 million for a wide range of environmental remediation measures in all of Southern Arizona. This includes repairing roads, building fences and removing abandoned cars.
¡ñ The five-year tab is $62.9 million for all forms of environmental remediation for immigration-related damage across Southeast Arizona, including $23 million for the first year.
Waste unhealthy, unsightly
Most of the garbage is left at areas where entrants wait to be picked up by smugglers. The accumulation of disintegrating toilet paper, human feces and rotting food is a health and safety issue for residents of these areas and visitors to public lands, a new BLM report says.

Kevin Your all right:

your right , people from Puerto Rico and Mexico do love this country .
a lot of them have no choice or they are forced or they come here to just work and survive and to make a living.
WE have the good, the bad and the ugly in all races of people not just American people.
If you put a starving dog in a cage and it is waiting for it's meal or if you feed so much every day and you do not take care of it of course that animal will be messy and stink and have nasty smelly garbage order.
After I read Marie's message ,
first thing I thought of was marbales .
when you throw marbales on the ground they go in all different directions.
and when you use the white marbale to hit one out of the way then you have the marbales scatter more.
I agree , the people that come in to our country should be tax more and I think , they shuold learn english so when they are working in our factories they know what to do.
But on the other hand they are humans like ourselves and they need the same things as we need.
a lot of people do not think they work ,
But they are the hardest works in the US and a good percentage of them are Americans.
And they help fight our wars to keep us free.
and they do jobs , that a regular red blood American would know do.
I can go on, but that is only a tip of an iceburg.

Marie , get real.
Fight your hate war some where else ,
your message is like looking at a bunch of marbles on the ground.
get away from the old school ways before it turns you in to one of the marbles on the ground.
we are all aware of what is going on down in Southeast Arizona and the thing is the American public is not aware of the truth.
If we all dig deep in to the truth we will find out what is really going on.

This is the most Racial biased site I've ever seen. This is an outrage! If an American set up a site called "wehatemexicans/puertoric ans.com" we would be considered a hate group (ie: KKK, Skinhead, ETC...). What's wrong with this country is the fact that our own government sucks up to these other non-American hate groups, and doesn't stick up for the American citizen! Our government wonders why we get attacked by radicals....well the above answers their question.

I thing Addy needs to revisit the site h/she is mentioning. This site is set up by white americans who are adamantly against immigration. They are trying to show that "whites" are the minority and depict different groups protesting against "white americans.

How much further do we have to bend over backwards for these people? During my stay in San Diego, a few years ago, I noticed there are warning signs, on the expressway, telling drivers to slow down and watch for people crossing. I think that is rediculas that we, as American citizens, have to change our lives to suit immigrants needs. When our forefathers/ancestors came here, they had to do everything on thier own. They didn't get "handouts" from the government, or have to slow their horses down in certain areas because illegal immigrants were crossing that particular road. If things keep going the way they are, and our government doesn't stop treating the American citizen like 2nd class people, there is going to be another civil war in our country. I fought for the freedom of others, and I think it's terrible that Immigrants from other countries are treated better than the American citizen.

Like I said before, I only post or read what is amusing to me. These forums are a great outlet to voice an opinion of whatever is bothering someone at that particular time. I think that ADDY is in need of some spiritual counseling.

Mark - why do you comment about Addy. Do you know Addy? Do you harbor a special grudge against him or her? I didn't see Addy comment to you. Usually the people who use phrases like "spiritual counseling" need it the most. If you really believe someone is in need of spiritual counseling, then you should minister to them instead of posting on these forums. Go to Church and pray for their salvation. As to posting on forums for amusement or what bothers you, God can provide the answers to those worries and bothers, not these forums.

I do not know ADDY, but someone I would like to know, because that person seems to have a tormented soul, and I would like to help them if I can. Just remember that you should take the time to look into yourself and find Jesus.

You have to look inside yourself and see if Jesus is really there with you before you can help someone else. Maybe Addy's tormented soul speaks to you because he or she reminds you of yourself. From reading the forum comments tonight, it seems alot of people disagree with your awkward attempts at religious and theological interpretation. I will pray for you and Addy that you each find the salvation and soul cleansing you are looking for. You won't find it here in these topix forums. Go to church and pray for yourself and for Addy that you both find your separate paths to Him.

Your right that other countrys citizens love America we do to and I am proud to have legal immagrants come and share it with me and enjoy all the blessing it gives. With that said you noticed I said legal not illegal. That is the major obstacle. It is not right for someone to illegaly come across our borders and expect the same rights and privileges as a legal immagrant that has done everything according to the laws of this country. Legal immagration yes Illegal aliens No Amnesty to reward illegal aliens NO

It that the governor of this state and the mayor and most of the city council think illegal aliens are okay. But unfortunately, they do not have to support them. They mey tell you how much is being spent but IT IS NOT THEIR MONEY. It belongs to you and me and we could reduce some of our tax burden by putting these people out by bayonet if necessary. The mayor and city council of Hazleton are courageous by telling these illegals and congress and the rest of the liberal suck ups to go home. You are not wanted if you are not legal. The next time I get a parking ticket, will it get fixed. Oh no, that would not be legal. Isn't that the same as illegal? Come on you political hacks, wise up.

From the L.A Times:
1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L.A. County).
