Today--as according to the Heritage Foundation, who has completed a thorough analysis of the cost, would be $2.6 trillion dollars. Fraudulent applications contaminated the process, many employers’ continuous illicit hiring practices, and illegal immigration gained thrust. The Center for Immigration Studies estimated the illegal immigrant population at 10 million as of November 2004, but the U.S. Census Bureau estimated 8.7 million illegal immigrants were here in 2000, and immigration officials estimate that the illegal immigrant population grows by as many as 500,000 every year.

Another Amnesty would be devastating to this country, as the millions of family members could be sponsored and placed on the conveyor belt, adding even more unfettered poverty. Eventually our social safety net would collapse, because of the untold millions would then gain legal access to every conceivable entitlement program. The total fiscal deficit on all direct and indirect costs is for the decade not including the costs of the blanket amnesty itself, was $78.7 billion.

The TEA PARTY will never be approving of another Amnesty, no matter what the policymakers say and do? The government cannot be trusted, as they have proven their dishonest deception time and time again. The costs in entitlement programs to illegal aliens and their children such as retirement, pensions, food stamps, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC,) Medicaid, housing and every other free extra will be visited on miserable taxpayers are far beyond what taxpayers should be forced to pay by the courts in unfunded mandates. The TEA PARTY is not just about stopping illegal immigration Amnesty, but halting the further encroachment of the distended government on citizen’s lives. It is a guardian of our Constitution from Liberal Extremists, trashing and drafting a new tax code that is fair to everybody, with no exemptions to any company or any other entity.
