DHS confirms cheaper to deport every illegal alien than allowing them
to stay

December 8th, 2010

On December 3, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for
Legislative Affairs, Nelson Peacock, responding to request from several
U.S. Senators, including Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), wrote: Our
conservative estimate suggests that ICE would require a budget of more
than $135 billion to apprehend, detain and remove the nation s entire
illegal immigrant population.

In July 2010, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)
released the results of a study which examined the costs of illegal
immigration at the federal, state and local levels. The study found
that U.S. state and local governments shell out $84.2 billion annually
in various services (law enforcement, schools, social services, etc.),
with California taxpayers alone, spending $21 billion on illegal aliens
every year.

The same study found that $29 billion is spent every year in federal
funds on illegal aliens.

So, while it would cost a one-time fee of about $135 billion to deport
every single illegal alien in the country, it is actually a bargain
considering the fact that it already costs us $113 billion annually to
keep them here.

In other words, the mass deportation would pay for itself in a little
over a year.

Incidentally, in 2007, the DHS estimated the cost of deporting all
illegal aliens to be approximately $94 billion.

* setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of
* men.
* --Samuel Adams

* The strongest reason for the people to retain
* the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last
* resort, to protect themselves against tyranny
* in government.
* -- Thomas Jefferson

* *A free people ought not only to be armed and
* *disciplined, but they should have sufficient
* *arms and ammunition to maintain a status of
* *independence from any who might attempt to
* *abuse them, which would include their own
* *government."
* *-- George Washington

* No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
* -- Thomas Jefferson

* If the freedom of speech is taken away then
* dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to
* the slaughter.
* -- George Washington

* When governments fear the people there is liberty.
* When the people fear the government there is tyranny.
* -- Thomas Jefferson

* Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... Disarm only
* those who are neither inclined nor determined to
* commit crimes.
* -- Thomas Jefferson

* Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a
* *standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed
* *populace.
* * -- James Madison

* If the representatives of the people betray
* their constituents, there is then no resource
* left but in the exertion of that original
* right of self-defense which is paramount to
* all positive forms of government ... The
* citizens must rush tumultuously to arms,
* without concert, without system, without
* resource; except in their courage and despair
* ... The natural strength of the people in a
* large community, in proportion to the artificial
* strength of the government, is greater than in a
* small ... the people, without exaggeration, may
* be said to be entirely the masters of their own fate.
* -- Alexander Hamilton

* All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people
* of good conscience to remain silent.
* -- Thomas Jefferson

* Every government degenerates when trusted to the
* rulers of the people alone. The people themselves
* are its only safe depositories.

* -- Thomas Jefferson

* A Founding Father speaks out on what's nowadays

Can you picture our pandering political hacks addressing mass
deportations?
