Cost of Undocumented Immigrants

author Published by Admins

“A lot of people make the claim illegal immigrants don’t pay any taxes, but they do. They pay sales taxes, they pay gas taxes. There’s a lot of taxes they pay even social security taxes,” said Roy Beck, C.E.O. of Numbers U.S.A.Beck says a 2007 study from the Heritage Foundation shows the taxes undocumented immigrants pay don’t cover their bills.”The typical immigrant household, that is illegal immigrant household pays about 10 thousand dollars in taxes a year and uses about 30,000 dollars of taxpayer services,” said Beck.”That means that Americans that need help have had to see their services decline,” said Beck.http://www.foxsanantonio.com/newsroom/top_stories/videos/vid_14794.shtmlBy Grace White in KABB Fox San Antonio
