President Obama, apparently, has realized that he has eight months left to put the finishing touches on his radical left-wing transformation of the United States. It is one of the worst-kept secrets in politics that the Democrats want to legalize and grant citizenship to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living within the borders of the United States. Now, the administration is proposing huge amounts of money for these “undocumented workers.”
Apologists for open borders regularly refute the fact that illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers far more than they contribute to society, but a new study not only proves that but notes that such costs are only going to skyrocket if new “reform” legislation under consideration in the Senate becomes law.
The conservative Heritage Foundation, in a new report, said the new law would cost taxpayers up to $6.3 trillion “if 11 million illegal immigrants are granted legal status,” Fox News said, citing the report:
The cost would arise from illegal immigrants tapping into the government’s vast network of benefits and services, many of which are currently unavailable to them. This includes everything from standard benefits like Social Security and Medicare to dozens of welfare programs ranging from housing assistance to food stamps.
“No matter how you slice it, amnesty will add a tremendous amount of pressure on America’s already strained public purse,” said Heritage scholar Robert Rector, who prepared the report.
As expected, the study is already being attacked by a number of groups and economists who are challenging its assumptions. Most of them say the addition of so many illegals will only fuel economic growth, but Heritage chief Jim DeMint, a former U.S. congressman, said those assertions are simply incorrect.
“There’s no way you can look at this and say that it’s good for the American taxpayer,” he told Fox News.
While the thought of what President Obama can do to the country in his final eight months in office is scary enough, just imagine what “Crooked Hillary” or “Crazy Bernie” could do with four — or God forbid eight — years in the Oval Office.

First of all where is this 6.3 trillion going to come from? Second,I would like to hear/see how just one pro-amnesty,anti-American liberal explain how adding what has to be close to 20 million new welfare eligible,illegal aliens to the USA’s economy is going to fuel the economy while draining resources that should be used to aid American citizens who have been here,LEGALLY,for generations. Can even one one “them” explain,in real terms,not hypothetical,help our economy grow?
You are kidding, right?
Under any other congress this idea would be absurd, but this probably pas So!
Why isn,t this stopped
No
Americans who work very hard for your money . Congrts ! It is being spent on illegal aliens! Not for our Vets or seniorS! But illegals!
Taxpayers already got looted 19 trillion or so. More than 43 administration’s combined. Eventually taxpayers will figure out the looting game. Vladimir Putin sure did…a lot of em did.
