Welcome to Illegal Immigration Statistics Comment Wall.
Illegal Immigration Statistics
- $113,000,000,000 - This year's cost of US illegal immigration. Approximately 75% of that cost is absorbed by the states.
- $1117 - The average amount you and your family paid in taxes this year to support illegals.
- $52,000,000,000 - The cost of educating the children of illegals. This is by far the single largest cost to the American taxpayer.
- $2,700 - The average dollar amount a single illegal household costs the US federal government.
- 51% - The percentage of Mexican immigrant households that use at least one major welfare program. 28% use more than one.
- 1,400,000- The number of illegal immigrant households that use at least one major welfare program. (food stamps, WIC, school lunch, Medicaid, TANF, SSI, and public/rent-subsidized housing)

the only people that have the right to call anyone immigrants are native americans. let’s not forget that the white man did come to america, kill the natives, and stole from them. all this america crap and patriotism is really just arrogance.
We are in need to regain full control of our borders!! Stop the invasion and abuses to our country U. S. A!!! Ilegal must be sent back and they take all family together on their way out!! We must pay our bebt!!! And get back up
to our solid economy and never allow this to happen again!!!
When people enter our country Legally, they have the right frame of mind! If they come in illegally, they keep bending the laws to favor themselves! Please, it is time to correct our problems simply by ALL of us carrying an issued identification which would define our citizenship or legality in our USA!! And verify before hiring!!! It would be a lot cheaper than walls!! If illegals wont get hired they will not come!!! It is worth it!! Regain our border control!!
Not all illegals enter the country in semi trucks many of them travel through the desert for days to evade immigration check points. Once they are on American soil then it is possible to ride in the back of a semi or even in the trunk of a car. Many of them do not complete their journey to the US and die in the desert. The people that do risk their lives to migrate to the US, have attempted to enter the country legally and are denied entry. Due to the economic life in their own country they will come here and work low paying jobs.
The main problem is not taking jobs, it is the housing and the taking of our taxes. They may not get social security, but that is because they are not a citizen of this country. Maybe we would quit complaining if you would just get legalized or stop coming here in the first place. To the high school student, why don’t you work your ass of in your country?
People control their country’s borders, always have always will. If you don’t soon you will not have a country. Mexicans have a country but can not govern themselves that’s why they come here. Mexicans don’t have a clue how to run a country. The more they come here the more the US becomes Mexico like and everyone’s living standard goes down. Deport all illegal aliens
Im 40 and have been a carpenter for 20 years, I’m also white, I’m sick of being treated as a second class citizen for both. I make about half of what I did at 20 years old due to the availability of cheap labor. I dont think its a race issue its an economics issue, and something needs to be done. Americans are now only consumers, not manufacturers due to cheap labor costs. If you dont believe me you deserve to have your house car and everything else built fixed and maintained by unskilled labor.
“Illegal” says it all! What politician can justify a position in favor of amnesty or continued financial assistance to illegals is pandering to voters. To encourage, or even to refuse to condemn,illegal entry into our country is tantamount to treason! As for the “anchor baby” issue; a child born here is a citizen, he or she can stay. Ship the parents back home. The practice of breeding for citizenship will stop after they realize they won’t be rewarded for producing more mouths for us to feed! Put the kids in foster care.
People who choose to invade our borders and perish in the attempt aren’t heroes or martyrs, they are foreign nationals who failed in their mission. A mile-wide “free-fire” zone on our side would probably cut way down on the number of attempted infiltrations. If a United States citizen is REALLY sympathetic to those poor Mexican insurgents, he or she can apply for Mexican citizenship. I’m sure THEIR government would welcome them with open arms!
Yeah, yazzie, lets oust forget all the men and women who fought and died so you could have the freedom to voice that opinion! Communism doesn’t work! Like I said earlier, the door leads out as well as in. Maybe you can find a more compassionate country… Iran?
We have the disastrous hindsight of Amnesty 1986 under President Reagan which is a total failure which led to today. Now we have a guestimate of 11-40 million illegals, they really do not know how many accurately. Same lies, same distortions, same thing of American Taxpayers are at fault and have to pay for. How about this for a change, we enforce existing immigration law as it is on the books. Put the blinders back on lady justice so we will not be forced to listen to all of the stories and circumstances of why. The least expensive and most fair minded way to do this is to put the responsibility back where it came from. SAY NO TO AMNESTY, ENFORCE THE LAWS, REPEAL THE ANCHOR BABY INTERPRETATION OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT. If we dod not do these things immediately, mathematically we are through as a nation, done with a period. It is all criminal from the start.
I agree with you all a mile long free fire zone would change things. This is not about people its not about taxpayer dollars its about economics. This issue could be fixed trough simple education. If the U.S government can coerce Mexico to go to Iraq and commit war crimes kill innocent soildiers then they can stop a corrupt gov. From inaction, illegals dont need us they can do better. Terry should write a book mein kampf is a good title.
happy holidays
Do you know that most Illegal Immigrants PAY taxes because if there ever is a reform then the only way they can apply for it they cant owe the government money And if your so worried than if we have a reform then they HAVE to pay taxes. Also not all immigrants are Mexican, some are Russian, Chines, Philippians,Sottish, Korean, Cuban, Nicaraguan, African and ect.
We should give the illegal immigrant children the education. Absolutely it’s will cost us, but it’s will costs us more in the future.
Everyone needs to shut up who cares about our government our money our children we only do because we dont want them to die we need money to buy drugs we want to live and we cant live with mexicans so we make up some bull. the us sucks mexico sucks everyone just shut up
California is going broke educating illegal immigrants and/or the children of illegals. in 1994 Californians voted to stop this by not allowing illegals or their children to attend public funded schools. The will of the people was thwarted by a few agenda driven democrats looking to secure future votes. There is a maximum occupancy based on room and resources and California has gone way beyond that. The only hope California has to fix its infrastructure is to stop wasting money on illegal immigrants and put Prop 187 from the 1994 ballot in to effect.
I know that this is a touchy subject, however, illegal is illegal is illegal. We as Us citizens cannot afford to keep going on like this. We need to regruop and reaffirm some of the definitions of our Constitution and quit turning the other cheek.
Filthy, Filthy, Filthy dirty! If you go into one the many huge illegal immigrant slums that have sprung up since the 1986 amnesty here in California you will not believe your eyes how dirty the people who live there are. They blatantly trash up any neighborhood where they live. I am talking unbelievable filth. If you haven’t seen some of these areas you can not begin to believe how bad the problem is. This is not due to just poverty. There is a lifestyle culture problem that causes these neighborhoods to slum out so terribly. Vast areas of once beautiful California have been turned into third world squalor and trashed beyond belief. Ugly, Ugly, Ugly! Come and see for yourself. Come see! You wont believe your eyes. Amnesty will not solve this problem. Amnesty only makes it worse. Amnesty only leads to another amnesty. We can never have another amnesty. The country could not withstand another amnesty. The crime and the costs associated with illegal immigrants is beyond outrageous.
The Laws are not being enforced and need to be upheld. The USA legal tax payers are sick of these arrogant ungrateful non Americans meaning legal USA tax paying citizens. Many of these illegal people speak trash talk about our country and have attitudes as if they are owed a free ride with no loyalty to USA, they all need to be deported. I can assure you if you were in any other country you would have been arrested. I think a 10 year sentence and $50,000 fine. These law breakers are costing this country’s tax payer’s and taking away from there own family’s needs. We owe law breakers nothing, ungrateful, arrogant, hateful, Rude and many have criminal agenda’s. I want all illegal people to go through a selection process per immigration laws dictate. Obama does not have the right to Dictate and defile the USA constitution.
you know what im tired of this bull****. illegal immagrants are illegal, thats it. the us doesnt have to look over the shoulder on this one because they are taking american jobs and making us broke because it costs so much to educate them when most dont try to be hardworking students. this country use to be amazing and be the one thats in charge and has the money. im not sure if we can say that anymore. not stereotyping here but ever since illegal immagrants started moving in this econemy has ever so slowly gotton worse since the 90′s. we kept exporting less and importing more and more and more. then recently everyone in the white house and congress was like holy crap where out of freaking money…. the answer, illegal immigrants. does this explain why obama keeps passing bills to schools and teachers losing their jobs. because it costs to much to educate them. the us needs to start getting serious on this topic because it is a big part of the crisis, what do illegals do when they come here, they get bad jobs and live in poverty. making the econemy worse. somebody nneeds to go to all the illegals countries and tell them america is not paradise and the freaking us has to not overlook this. if you want to come in get a green card and act like well citizens.
people live in the u.s.a. illeaglely and do not pay a fine.if i choose to drive or park my car illeagle,then i must pay a fine.whyyyy…..
It is so sad to continue hearing people say that UNDOCUMENTED people are stealing jobs! I mean really???? Let me ask you this, would you really have the guts to go out in the fields at the crack of dawn and pick fruits? Let us not forget, those fields are covered with pesticides? SO you seriously want that? How about taking care of your children? You hire someone to raise your children because you have a job to attend and cannot raise your children. What about cleaning houses/hotels/airplanes? You really want to go around cleaning someone’s toilet? See, for many of us who are US Citizens, we have achieved higher education and would never in our right mind every think to work doing these types of jobs, because the pay is not all that great. So, unless you are willing to really do ANYTHING, well then get out there, because trust me, there are tons of fruits and vegetables to pick out!
The illegals are a bunch of cowards running away from their problems. Why don’t they unite in their own country to make it better. They come to U.S. for handouts by popping out babbies like candy,meanwhile draining our precious resoures with a rapidly increased population
For the past 3 years things have been goin down hill more so this year. People worry about the illegal immigrants and how bad they have but when they come here they r stealin from us. I can’t pay my bills an provide for my family because all the jobs are gone. I can’t work because there are no jobs an they are not pickin apples they are workin the construction sites. I can’t get food stamps an
d help but they sure can. All these people sayin they are lookin for a better job wait til they take your jobs….an you can’t buy your family christmas but u see them out shoppin an drivin nice cars while u sit at home ad worry about bills, you will change your tune real fast. And that day will come because they are bein educated for free in our school systems. The government spends millions and billion of dollars to protect borders around the world but are not willing to put that kind of money in protecting the US boarder. And we pay the price for it.
When whites came here – we didnt say they were illegal. We didnt rename them, we didnt give them a sur name, we didnt force the hybrid race of this planet to take on none of our customs. What was an “ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION” was whites coming to invade just about every part of this planet on earth than tell the native people they were the illegal. More than half the North was Mexico and belong to the Mexican race of people who then and now have always been HIS PANIC, Whites. Take our children and race them! Illegals are your people from the beginning to now.
