How does illegal immigration affect U.S economy?
Badly. For one they take 1/3 of all new jobs created. And they create a lot of crime and are bankrupting state governments. Each year, the U.S. spends over $350 billion on illegal immigrants (federal, state, and city levels). They are a serious drain on the economy and they take away government resources for other Americans. If we allow them to stay here it would cost at least $2.5 trillion (not billion) according to U.S. congressional testimony. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;… Illegal immigrants take 1/3 of all new jobs created. 1) by: www_minutemanproject_com “Latinos entering the country between 2000 and 2004 were hired to fill more than one-third of all new jobs in the United States last year according to the Pew Hispanic Center.” http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mer
