If you want to make a positive change in your community, here's one thing you can do! Because of efforts like this, our friends in Illinois are making great progress in taking America back...a city at a time.

If you want to do this in Indiana, please also include the IFIRE report on costs: http://www.ifire.us/reports/white_paper_2005jun14.pdf.
I can get you some updated education costs, too.

Dear Member of Fox Valley Citizens,

Tuesday night, the Carpentersville Village Board was kind enough to allow me to present vital information about "The Costs of Illegal Emigration to Illinoisans." The ILLINOIS COST STUDY to which I referred meeting is available for download at http://www.fairus.org/site/DocServer/Il ... docID=1521. (The file is in PDF format; use free Adobe Acrobat Reader, available at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.)


The printed analysis is based on current estimates of the illegal alien population residing in Illinois, and indicates that all such residents cost the taxpayers more than $3.5 billion per year for education, medical care and incarceration. That annual tax burden amounts to nearly $700 per household headed by a native-born resident. Even if the estimated $465 million in sales, income and property taxes collected from illegal aliens are subtracted from the fiscal outlays, net costs still amount to more than $3 billion per year in Illinois alone.

The three cost areas discussed in this analysis are the major cost areas. They are the same three program areas analyzed in a 1994 study conducted by the Urban Institute, which provides a useful baseline for comparison. Other studies have been conducted in the interim, showing trends that support the conclusions of this report.

Even without accounting for all of the numerous other areas in which costs associated with illegal emigration are being incurred by our local taxpayers, the program areas analyzed in this study indicate that the burden is substantial and that the costs are rapidly increasing.

The more than $3.5 billion in costs incurred by Illinois taxpayers annually result from outlays in the following areas:

Education. Based on reasonable estimates of the illegal alien population in Illinois and documented costs of K-12 schooling, we spend more than $3.1 billion annually on education for the children of illegal aliens. This estimate does not include programs for limited English students, remedial educational programs or breakfast and lunch programs available to students from low-income families. An estimated 10% of the K-12 public school students in Illinois are children of illegal aliens.
Health care. Taxpayer-funded, unreimbursed medical outlays for health care and transport services provided to the illegal alien population here amount to an estimated $340 million a year.
Incarceration. The uncompensated cost of incarcerating deportable criminal aliens in our state and local prisons amounts to about $55 million a year. This estimate includes only prison costs and not short-term or other detention costs, related law enforcement and judicial expenditures, or the monetary costs of the crimes that led to incarceration.
The fiscal costs of illegal emigration borne by us, the taxpayers, do not end with these three major cost areas. The total local cost of illegal emigration is considerably higher if other cost areas such as preventive health programs, special English instruction, interpretation services in courts and hospitals, welfare programs used by the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, or welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal alien workers are also calculated. Nor does it include such costs as newsletter translation and printing costs, Web site translation and development expenses, multilingual forms translation and printing outlays, local police and ICE personnel and enforcement expenditures, unrecoverable insurance deductibles and increased rates based on accidents with unlicensed/uninsured illegal drivers, and the list goes on and on.

The full report is in your hands.

Feel free to forward this vital information...
