The Life & Death Cost of Illegal Immigration


The acquittal of Jose Ines Garcia Zarate in the 2015 San Francisco shooting death of Kate Steinle has sparked a new national debate about sanctuary city policy.  The Trump Administration has tried to tackle this matter … even threatening to cut off Department of Justice (DOJ) grants to cities who continue the policy of offering a shield to illegal aliens and an obstacle to enforcing federal immigration laws.  The courts have so far blocked such attempts.

So, what are the costs of illegal immigration?  Paul Bedard at The Washington Examiner had a breakdown: It costs the U.S. taxpayers in all 50-states a total of $89 billion; and California, where an illegal was just cleared of murdering Kate Steinle (despite admitting to the shooting), pays the most at $23 billion.  The costs cover added expenditures for education, welfare, law enforcement, and medical care.  When federal costs are included, the price tag (nationally) soars to $135 billion a year. 

Donald Trump made immigration a GOP primaries issue … that proved critical to him winning the 2016 election as U.S. President.  With these numbers and the outcome of the Steinle trial, you can see why we’ve got to address the matter of illegal immigrants.
