Can the U.S. afford to deport the illegals especially during this recession?
Find answers to your legal question.





Can the U.S. afford to deport the illegals especially during this recession?

If we are struggling to get bailouts, why would anti-illegal immigration protesters push for "mass deportation"? Do they ignore the catastrophic consequences the U.S. would face just to get rid of them?

ICE: Tab to remove illegal residents would approach $100 billion

Study: Illegal worker crackdown would cost employers $1B

http://www.americanprogress.org/kf/deporting_the_undocumented.pdf
Using publicly available data, this report provides the first cost assessment of a policy designed to deport all undocumented persons. We estimate the costs of a mass deportation effort would likely be at least $206 billion over five years, and could be as high as $230 billion or more.

Nope. Not at all.

It costs far too much to ship them back, and I don't know one single American who would work in the fields for so little.

Cheaper to get rid of them then get them set up on permanent government slave status. The long term costs are far higher

Of course, we can afford the deportation of all the illegals. It would end up being money in our pockets after they are all gone.

With record unemployment we can't afford not to.

Your first link is ASSuming that we would have to actively deport illegals. Anyone with a first grade education already knows that is not how it would or should be done. We simply remove all of the rewards/incentives for them to be and stay here and VIOLA they will self-deport at their own expense.

So your first link is totally irrelavant and wrong.

Your second link only shows impacts to businesses which are actively admitting to breaking the law and feel they should be allowed to continue to break the law. It also does not show the immensly positive impacts of paying slightly higher wages to Americans.
1. Those people would be paying taxes - illegals pay far less or none.
2. The citizens would be spending their money HERE where it will have a huge impact on our economy - illegals send massive amounts of American money to their contry where it helps them, not US.
3. The playing field will be even between employers who go by the rules and thus far have been punished for their honesty.


Your third link is the same as your first one - again nobody with any intelligence is saying deport. We say remove the rewards and watch them run.

If the workers are replaced by tax paying residence who spend the money here instead of sending it out to their original countries the costs will be recouped in no time. Not to mention the Social Service costs for their demands on these services.

Living in Mexico
Every American should get a copy of the e-mail!
And it is not even a joke!!!!!!
I got this and it is soooooooo true.
If you are ready for the adventure of a lifetime, TRY THIS:
Enter Mexico illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas,
international law, or any of that nonsense.
Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.
Demand bilingual nurses and doctors. Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc. Procreate abundantly.
Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive
behavior with, "It is a cultural U.S.A. thing. You would not understand, pal."
Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper.
Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children
do likewise. Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system. Demand a local Mexican driver license.
This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal, presence in Mexico Drive around with no liability insurance and ignore local traffic laws. Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers.Good luck! You'll be demanding for the rest of time or soon be dead. Because it will never happen. It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world except right here in the United States, Land of the naive and stupid, idiotic politically correct politicians. If you agree, pass it on. If you don't, go ahead and try the above in Mexico or Iraq.

Legal immigration YES. Those who play by the rules and are legal deserve to be here.

Keeping them here costs us more annually than it would to send them back. More American citizens could get work if they weren't here. Illegal immigrants do NOT pay taxes and yet they qualify for tax credits. They also qualify for home loans.

In answer to your question...we can't afford to keep them here.

They send more than $40 billion out of the nation and economy annually, or approximately $200 billion over 5 years.
California alone spends over $10.5 billion annually for expenses related to illegal aliens. Some estimates wage depression costs the federal government over $100 billion annually in lost tax revenues from citizens. Bear Stearns estimated over $400 billion in tax dollars is lost annually due to illegal aliens working under the table.
Cost of deportation would be a bargain.


American Man
Yes! You have your opinion, I have mine!


jgray7500
We pay more taking care of illegals then we would spend.

ex..
Higher insurance since they aren't paying any for there auto.
Paying for free healthcare when they go to hospitals.

How many times are you going to ask the same question with the same 3 links? Do you think if you ask it enough you might actually get someone to believe your crap? Every time you ask you get the same answers! ILLEGAL ALIENS are bad for the economy and a hugh part of why we are in the mess we are in! They have driven wages down to poverty levels not seen since the great depression!
ILLEGAL ALIENS are not an asset they are a liability and any amount of bogus propaganda wont fly with any individual who has just an ounce of common sense!


gypsy
They are the reason our economy is in the toilet. If we deport them we will be better able to get our people back to work and get our economy moving in the right direction.


go2seek
They are here knowing that they broke our laws. That alone should be reason enough for any right thinking person to want them out. We would not have to deport them if we didn't make them so comfortable by allowing them free access to health-care, social security, bilingual support everywhere, easily available jobs and housing. They feel safer here than at home, more at home here than in their own home country.
If we just turned the heat up on them, they would leave on their own. One way of doing this is to give them a simple deadline with a consequence: All people found living here illegally after June 2010 will have their cars, business, property and accounts seized and sold to legitimate citizens at discount prices to help defray the cost of deportation. We wouldn't go looking for them, but every time they were discovered, this would be enforced. If this policy were to be passed, the illegals would stampede back to where ever they came from, saving us the cost of enforcement for all but those here for nefarious reasons anyway.
If they want to be here, they can get in line and do it right, there is a way to do that. Why are you so anxious to support criminal activity?


mimi
Deport them we would be better off as they eat and breed up all the so called good they do here.I would like there to be a major round up and send them packing at the lowest cost poss.I heard that shipping on the railroad is pretty cheap.On a Commercial this morning the railroad companies CSX (i think) can ship cargo over 3 hundred miles on one gallon of gas ,now how cheap is that?Now Im not trying to be cruel but this is a time when we don't need people that don't pay into our economy here.And as for the money that they put back into the economy it was earned illegally and if they are on ANY form of welfare its our money anyway so you see they do no good for the american economy.....


Sailor
Don't worry, since the jobs are drying up they will leave on thier own.


PHOSHOâ„¢
so shall we just legalize them?
