The staggering total costs of illegal immigrants and their children outweigh the taxes paid to federal and state governments by a ratio of roughly 7 to 1, with costs at nearly $135 billion compared to tax revenues at nearly $19 billion.
All told, the nearly $135 billion paid out by federal and state and local taxpayers to cover the cost of the presence of 12.5 million illegal aliens and their 4.2 million citizen children amounts to approximately $8,075 per illegal alien and citizen child prior to taxes paid, or $6,940 per person after taxes are paid.
On the federal level, medical ($17.14 billion) is by far the highest cost, with law enforcement coming second ($13.15 billion) and general government services ($8 billion) thir

Lets be clear and end this thing.
You insist I am stupid and cannot use google. May I suggest you do some research and you will discover....
There is
NO health coverage for illegal immigrants as you insist upon alluding to....
NONE.
The
American citizen children of those folks can get healthcare.
There are surely associated costs in treating them in emergency wards, etc...same as American citizens with no health insurance.
You continue to perpetuate the false narrative, the parallel universe that says illegal immigrants are covered.
Its not true.....their children born here as American Citizens....yep but not them.
Trust me.....I can use google and this entire thread seems to have become one of those maddening conveyors of false and not true information..
You are looking for a fight
instead of having a discussion on a very important issue, and you cannot fight while discussing....it is impossible.
Have a nice day
"In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) into law. To match public opinion and boost popularity for the legislation, the ACA contains language that explicitly excludes undocumented immigrants from being able to purchase health insurance coverage.[11][1]"
Healthcare availability for undocumented immigrants in the United States - Wikipedia.
"Most people in the following groups are eligible for coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace:
U.S. citizens
U.S. nationals
Lawfully present immigrants
Health coverage for immigrants who are U.S. citizens or U.S. nationals | HealthCare.gov
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME THE "YEAH BUT" argument.....I misunderstood this as a discussion healthcare costs and how it might relate to government run insurance, but as always a group goes to the immigrants to make a point,
irrelevant as to whether that was being discussed
