美國資訊網編譯報道——一項美國移民改革聯盟(FAIR)新發布的研究表明,為非法移民及其家屬提供的教育、醫療保健、執法以及社會和政府服務每年花掉了德州納稅人121億美元——這個數字比2010年增長了約30億美元。這些成本不包括聯邦支出,相當於為每個德克薩斯州家庭增加了1197美元的負擔。
Specifically, in 2013 alone, FAIR estimates Texans were on the hook for $12.1 billion because of illegal immigration in the state. “That amounts to more than $1,197 for every Texas household headed by a native-born or naturalized U.S. citizen,” FAIR wrote. “The taxes paid by illegal aliens — estimated at $1.27 billion per year — do not come close to paying for those outlays, but we include an estimate of revenue from sales taxes, property taxes, alcohol taxes, and cigarette taxes.”
