Interesting article, but it's hogwash. The immigrants are here for one reason only, to keep wages down. This is the way Alan Greenspan set it up, and politicians of both parties are happy to keep their lavish perks and bribes...oops, campaign contributions coming, even if you or those you love eventually end up sleeping in a car. Don't believe me? Check this out.---rng
The Congressional Budget Office has an interesting article about the fiscal impact of "unauthorized immigrants" you might want to check out. The CBO says the net effect is a modest negative impact. Read and decide for yourself. ------lee
CBO released a new report this morning on the impact of unauthorized immigrants on state and local government budgets. Most analyses have found that the fiscal impact of immigrants as a whole (both legal and unauthorized, and including all levels of government) is slightly positive — the tax revenues generated by immigrants exceed the cost of the government services they use. This study examines the literature on a more narrow question: the fiscal impact of unauthorized (as opposed to all) immigrants at the state and local government level (excluding the federal government).
Many state and local governments incur costs for services associated with unauthorized immigrants, particularly in the areas of education, health care, and law enforcement. Some of those costs are incurred because of rules governing federal programs, court decisions, and state-level statutory or constitutional requirements. CBO’s review of the literature finds that the amount of spending involved is a small share of total state and local spending on these services, but the tax revenue collected from unauthorized immigrants at the state and local level does not offset the costs involved. The result is probably a modest negative net impact on state and local budgets.
