Donald Trump Shows America How Much Money They Save By Sending Illegals Back Presidential candidate and legendary businessman Donald Trump has been demonized by the liberal media for his views on illegal immigrants. Still, he has not been afraid to criticize our current system, both for the social and financial impacts of having a border that is not secure. In 2010, a Heritage Foundation scholar named Robert Rector conducted a study that disproved the popular liberal claim that rounding up illegal immigrants and deporting them is too costly a venture. The report compared total tax contributions from illegal immigrant workers, which added up to $13 billion, and all of the taxpayer-funded aid received by immigrants, estimating that to be around $113 billion. The net loss to the economy was a whopping $100 billion. The study also revealed that the cost of deporting illegal immigrants would be far less than that. And under Trumps plan, many of these immigrants would likely return to their own country voluntarily. The debate about fiscal consequences of unlawful and low-skill immigration is hampered by a number of misconceptions, Rector concluded. Few lawmakers really understand the current size of government and the scope of redistribution. Unlawful immigrants, on average, are always tax consumers; they never once generate a fiscal surplus that can be used to pay for government benefits elsewhere in society. What do you think? Do you support Trump and his views on immigration?
