Your numbers are also biased in that they fail totake into account the income tax many illegal aliens pay. As you are probably aware, when an illegal alien gets a false social security number, taxes are still paid into that account. So, they are actually paying into someone else's social security acount. If you want to make your case, at least try to make it a realistic case with a complete set of numbers.

You forgot to deduct the amount of sales taxes and other taxes (gas, etc.) that their purchases within the US constitute. Your number is biased. As usual.

It is this bad in a state with low per capita school expenditures. Law enforcement costs in total would be more like $1000 per person nationally. They've certainly underestimated the medical expenses, but that could be just conservative figures being used. Overall, this is an indication of the scale of aggression against the net taxpayer which such immigration involves. There is no excuse for it.
