In nearly every news story, report
or analysis of the nation's illegal
immigration problem, it is presented
as fact that cross-border migrants
have a net positive economic effect
on U.S. communities.
Perhaps that's no surprise, given that
the U.S. government maintains this.
In the 2005 Economic Report
of the President, which touts President
Bush's work-for-amnesty program,
the administration observes,
"Immigration has touched every facet
of the U.S. economy and America
is a stronger and better nation for it."
In reality, however, this "fact" is a myth.
The truth is, immigrants -
legal and illegal -
inflict a net drain on the U.S. economy,
when you factor in all of the expenses
associated with providing them
taxpayer-
and consumer-
supported benefits and services
