Most illegal immigrants in US receive government benefits, costing taxpayers billions: expertsBy William La Jeunesse, 22 Apr 2019 Majority of illegal immigrants in US receiving taxpayer-funded government benefits Central American migrants are arriving by the thousands without a penny to their name. How do they get by? William La Jeunesse breaks down the cost. This week, the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether to count self-identified illegal immigrants in the 2020 census. Cities worry adding the citizenship question could undercount 6.5 million people. Their argument, however, isn't just about political power but billions of dollars in federal funds states expect. The case underscores what experts say is a growing cost to taxpayers from the surge of Central American families and unaccompanied minors. "We're talking about billions of dollars in taxpayer benefits over the next few years," said Dan Stein, director of the right-leaning think tank, Federation for American Immigration Reform. "The payout for the taxpayer is enormous and income to the Treasury is miniscule." www.foxnews.com/us/the-cost-of-illegal-immigration-migrants-cost-us-taxpayers-billions-a-year
