$2.2 trillion illegal alien taxpayer sticker shock

2/3 of immigrants cost Americans $22,449 a year, shows new study

A new study by the Heritage Foundation's Robert Rector found a household headed by an individual without a high school education, including about two-thirds of illegal aliens, costs U.S. taxpayers more than $32,000 in federal, state and local benefits. That same family contributes an average of $9,000 a year in taxes, resulting in a net tax burden of $22,449 each year. WorldNetDaily.com, April 11, 2007
