One Cost Of Illegal Immigration

Yesterday, I came across an article discussing some of the social impacts of illegal immigration. Today, I came across this article which discusses the cost of educating illegals.

Over seven billion dollars per year. That is a huge number and a significant one.

That's seven billion dollars of our, US citizens, money that is going for the benefit of those who are breaking the law. That's seven billion dollars of additional foreign aid. That's seven billion dollars we can't spend on our own children or our own defense or anything that might benefit us.

Seven billion dollars.

Once before I had stated an opinion that there was a moral argument for educating the children of illegal immigrants. But seven billion dollars worth? Even assuming that this is overstated by a factor of two, it's still an outrageous amount.

We have to tighten the borders. This is getting ridiculous.
