Households headed by illegal aliens imposed more than $26.3 billion in
costs on the federal government in 2002 and paid only $16 billion in
taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of almost $10.4 billion, or
$2,700 per illegal household.


Among the largest costs are Medicaid ($2.5 billion); treatment for the
uninsured ($2.2 billion); food assistance programs such as food
stamps, WIC, and free school lunches ($1.9 billion); the federal
prison and court systems ($1.6 billion); and federal aid to schools
($1.4 billion).


That is $16 billion more than the americans who are on these programs
pay.

Many American citizens who use Medicaid, food stamps, WIC, and/or free
school lunches for their children are low income wage earners, and not all
of these qualify much for earned income credit. A few American citizens
on Medicaid were inunsured wage earners bankrupted by a big ticket illness.
Many with Federally subsidized health insurance (notably most using sCHIPS
for their children) are low to medium income wage earners. Many Federal
prisoners who are American citizens had taxpaying jobs in the past. And
many American families that pay taxes do send their children to public
schools, even many making too much to qualify even for sCHIPS.
