Report: Immigration Amnesty Will Cost American Taxpayers $2 TRILLION

The president's immigration amnesty will cost $2 trillion - about $40 billion a year - over the next 50 years, the Heritage Foundation projects.

The total equates to a $22,000 tax on every American who has a four-year college degree, 30 cents extra for every gallon of gas, or $10 a month tacked onto every cell phone bill.

More from The Daily Caller:
The $2 trillion cost is driven by the federal government’s support for all poor people, says Robert Rector, a budget analyst at the Heritage Foundation. Rector explained that, on average, the illegal immigrants benefiting from the amnesty have a 10th grade education.

That low education ensures they can’t earn enough money, or pay enough taxes, to pay for the many benefits they’ll get if they progress from temporary residents to legal residents and then to citizens, Rector said.

Well hopefully some of these people will be made to serve on juries so as yo free up my valuable time. After all somebody needs to pay for their illegal occupation of our country. JURY DUTY FOR ALL!

Which means $12+ trillion in actual dollars.

And 10:46 That makes the most sense...like they say, jury of your peers. Anyone on ebt, etc should have to do it too. I'll be damned if I will, receiving $30 or whatever when I bring in $560+ per day. No thanks.
