Illegal Aliens Costs $296 Billion In Lost Taxes Over Ten Years

Via Washington Examiner:

Tax credits received by illegal immigrants and wage write-offs U.S companies claim in their illegal employment costs the Treasury $296 billion over 10 years, according to a new report that is urging Congress to crackdown on the loopholes.

Annually, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, the lost taxes bill is about $30 billion, enough to fund the average middle income tax cut the Trump administration is considering, about $300.

That comes on top of wage losses to legal workers of $118 billion when companies illegally hire undocumented aliens, said CIS.

“The economic rewards of unauthorized employment of aliens are not limited to the higher wages of the illegal workers and the lower labor costs of their employers. Unauthorized alien workers and their employers also enjoy multi-billion dollar tax deductions and tax credits that were enacted into law for the benefit of law-abiding workers and businesses,” said the report.

Wait, what? Weren't we told they were an asset to the economy and we will fail without them? Why yes, yes we were, by Obama, Pelosi, Feinstein, and the rest of the democrat cartel! And I wonder how much American social programs, and 'Open Borders' policies, are  boosting the economy of Mexico by the money that illegal aliens send home every year? I probably exceeds all other incomes in Mexico except for the drug money. And the number in this article is just in lost tax revenue. If you add up welfare, cost of crime, properly loss and damage, lost wages, the whole enchilada, no pun intended, I would say the number is even higher than that. According to Heritage illegals consume $900 Billion a year in welfare and benefits. I would tend to believe their numbers. We had an election, the people spoke, now it is time to go home.

Once upon a time, Law meant Law. Except in Washington. Law means "how much cash can I grift if I ignore certain laws". It is time to implement a fine of $500 per day for every illegal hire, and go back 365 days from time of discovery. Mandatory reporting by Social Security of any discrepancy to ICE. It's a start.

P.S Nothing says ...."I want to be an American"...more than waving a Mexican flag.
