Illegal invaders cost U.S. $113 billion a year!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - July 6, 2010 - The cost of harboring illegal invaders in the United States is a staggering $113 billion a year - an average of $1,117 for every “native-headed” household in Amerika - according to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
The study, a copy of which was provided to FoxNews.com, “is the first and most detailed look at the costs of illegal immigration ever done,” says Bob Dane, director of communications at FAIR, a conservative organization that seeks to end almost all immigration to the U.S.
FAIR's opponents in the bitter immigration debate describe the organization as "extremist," though it is regularly called upon to testify before Congress.
Groups that support immigration reform immediately attacked FAIR's report and pointed out that it is the polar opposite of the Perryman Report, a 2008 study that found illegal invasion was actually a boon to the Amerikan economy. It estimated that illegal invaders add $245 billion in Gross Domestic Product to the economy and account for 2.8 million jobs.
The FAIR report comes as illegitimate President Obama moves immigration reform to the top of his agenda, and it is likely to be a rallying point for those who oppose the illegitimate president. At a speech Thursday at American University in Washington, D.C., Obama argued that the entire immigration system is broken and needs sweeping reforms. Among the changes he said are needed is "a path for [farm] workers to earn legal status," which the illegitimate president's critics called an opening for a new amnesty program.
