429,000 Annual Immigrant Births Cost Taxpayers $5.3 Billion

Massive and increasing costs to Taxpayers are incurred (now $330 Billion per year NET of Taxes Immigrants Pay) as each Birth Cohort Matures. Mass Immigration is Very Costly, but BALANCE has The Solution (see below).

Of the Many Costs of Mass Immigration borne by U.S. Taxpayers, the Costs of Immigrant Births alone (via Medicaid or the Uninsured) is remarkable. Specifically, 1 in 5 births in the U.S. are to Immigrant Mothers. U.S. Taxpayers pay for 67% of births to illegal immigrants, 47% of births to legal immigrants according to a new report  by CIS, S. Camarota, Director of Research, 10/9/18.

“Based on an analysis of Census Bureau data, the Center estimates that nationally one in 13 births is to an illegal immigrant, totaling 300,000 births a year. One in eight births is to a legal immigrant. We also find that more than half of the births to immigrants (legal and illegal) are paid for by taxpayers, including 67 percent of births to illegal immigrants.

“Steven Camarota, the Center’s Director of Research and co-author of the report, said, ‘The enormous number of births to legal and illegal immigrants may hinder assimilation as children from immigrant families will largely interact with only each other.”  He also points out that “paying for so many births to immigrant mothers may be appropriate, but the large share who can’t provide for themselves without the help of American taxpayers raises serious questions about whether our current immigration system makes sense.’…

Given that Demography is Destiny, consider that since the aforementioned Facts are for one year only, what the costs and demographic consequences will be for each year projected into the future unless BALANCE’s Solution is implemented. Consider further that Taxpayer- and Immigrant-Funded Immigrant Births Total 791,000 per year.

National Picture from CIS Report:

·         …That legal immigrants accounted for 12.4 percent (494,000) of all births annually and illegal immigrants accounted for 7.5 percent (297,000) annually.

·         The 297,000 births per year to illegal immigrants are more than the total number of births to all mothers in any state except California and Texas. They are also more than the total number of births in 16 states combined, plus the District of Columbia.

·         The estimated 28,000 births to illegal immigrants in just the Los Angles metro area are more than the total number of births in any of 14 states or the District of Columbia. 

·         More than half (54 percent) of births to immigrants (legal and illegal) are entirely or largely paid for by taxpayers because the mother is on Medicaid or uninsured…

·         Illegal immigrants account for 11 percent (198,000) of all publicly funded births, and legal immigrants are another 13 percent (231,000). [Emphasis added]

·         We roughly estimate that the annual cost to taxpayers for births to immigrants (legal and illegal) is $5.3 billion — $2.4 billion of which is for illegal immigrants.

 
States:

·         In California, New Jersey, and New York, immigrants (legal and illegal) account for about one-third of all births. In Massachusetts, Nevada, Florida, Texas, Hawaii, Maryland, and Washington, immigrants account for one in four births. Immigrants account for one in five births in Virginia, Connecticut, Illinois, Arizona, Rhode Island, and Oregon.

·         The states with the largest numbers of births to illegal immigrants are California with 65,000, Texas with 51,000, Florida with 16,000, Illinois with 14,000, Georgia with 13,000, New York with 12,000, and New Jersey and North Carolina with 11,000 each….

·         In North Carolina, Texas, and Georgia, three-fourth of births to illegal immigrants were likely paid for by taxpayers. In California, Florida, and New York, two-thirds of these births were likely taxpayer-funded. In Illinois and New Jersey, more than half were likely funded by the public.”

BALANCE’s Solution: The U.S.A. needs a zero–net (i.e., 150,000 per year arrivals and 150,000 per year leaving) Moratorium applying to all immigrant categories, a Wall at our Southern Border, mandating use of eVerify in Hiring Decisions, elimination of anchor baby citizenship and an end to Catch & Release.

Enactment of all these would reduce the 1.6 Million Annual flow of Legal Immigrants (400,000 annually into California alone – U.S. Census) and thus greatly reduce the Annual NET (after subtracting Taxes Immigrants pay) Costs of Legal Immigration, now running at $330 BILLION per year.

Implementing the Trump Administration’s Admirable Proposal that No Green Cards (reflecting permanent Resident Status) would be issued to those who had accepted, or were likely to accept in the future, any Taxpayer-funded Benefits, would reduce Immigrant Numbers significantly.

IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION IS BEING CONSIDERED NOW! And December 7 is the Deadline to pass a Budget and fund The Wall.

It is highly likely that a Bill fully funding The Wall will contain other Immigration Provisions! So, we must ACT NOW! Emphasize that a Zero-Net Moratorium would save Taxpayers $One-Half Trillion in the next Decade. So CONTACT & RECONTACT Your Representatives!

And please help BALANCE MOBILIZE ACTIVISTS and contact Media and Congress to intensity our push for the aforementioned all-categories included zero-NET MORATORIUM TODAY, NOW! Contact your representatives!

TO MAXIMIZE BALANCE's CLOUT PLEASE DONATE NOW!

Dollar for Dollar, Donations to BALANCE and its ASAP! Coalition Allies who push a Moratorium, create much more Political Clout for reduction in immigration numbers than Donations to Mass Immigration Management Groups, i.e., those who refuse to push for an all-categories-included Zero-Net Moratorium.

Indeed, such Refusal is counterproductive to genuine Immigration Reduction Efforts because the Main Management Groups advocate positions which ensure unending Mass Immigration.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR U.S. POPULATION STABILIZATION

& SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS
—THE ONLY STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS—
BALANCE YEAR-END ALERT!

The next few weeks provide the Best (& likely Last?!) Opportunity to Achieve U.S. Population Stabilization and Sustainable Environmental Protection since BALANCE was founded 45 years ago, However, thousands of activists led by BALANCE activists are needed to push Congress to cooperate by implementing The Only Strategy for Success.

“Help me, Dad.” Kate Steinle’s dying words and the Deaths of Hundreds of others remind us of the importance of intensifying our effort.

The Only Strategy is simple. Inform your Representatives of The Facts and provide them with and push for The Solution described below. So first, The Facts:

The Economic Environment

— Legal Immigration is very costly—$330 Billion per year NET (after taxes Immigrants Pay) or $3.3Trillion for 10 years in Federal taxpayer Costs alone to support the 1.5 Million Annual Legal Immigrant Flow! (J. Williams, CCN/Shadowstats.com). We must reduce Legal Immigration to Reduce the Deficit.

— A substantial majority of Legal and Illegal Immigrants have low education levels. The  average newcomer from Central America has less than an eighth grade education. And if 10 Million Illegals alone were Amnestied, the NET cost to Taxpayers would be $1.29 TRILLION or about $15,000 including State and Locals Costs for each and every Household in the USA! (R. Rector—National Academy of Sciences, November 2016). This study also found no evidence that low-skill workers are a net economic benefit.)

The Personal Safety Environment

— Over 90,000 Criminal Illegal Aliens were released into U.S. Communities in 2015 alone! (DHS data)into the relatively Safe (for them!) Environments of “Sanctuary Cities”!

“Help me, Dad.” Kate Steinle’s dying words impel all of us to redouble our efforts to oppose Sanctuary Cities, Reduce Legal and Stop Illegal Immigration. The Boston Bombers, San Bernardino Shooters and ISIS Truck Driver who ran down Pedestrians and Cyclists in New York City recently were all Legal Immigrants!

The Employment Environment

— During the Obama Years Immigrant Employment has risen 4.3 times faster than Native-born employment, and large companies like Disney and Abbott Labs have laid off American workers so they can hire cheaper foreign labor under the H1b program, while typically requiring American workers to train their replacements as a condition to receiving their Severance packages (Rubenstein, vDare.com)

The Natural Environment

— And the USA's long-term sustainability is being seriously damaged by the Mass Immigration of about 1.5 Million Legal and hundreds of thousands of Illegals every year. We reiterate that for every person added to the U.S. Population, one acre of Wildlife Habitat or Prime Farmland is converted to developed uses (Pimentel et. al. Cornell)

— The USA is paving the world's Breadbasket (i.e., the USA) at a rate of 39,000 square miles (25 Million Acres) every 15 years! Periodically Drought stricken California alone receives 400,000 Legal Immigrants per year who consume an ADDITIONAL Million Acre-feet of water per year, water that could be used for water-short California Agriculture! And this inflow exacerbates California’s housing, budget and transportation crises. Do the Major Urban Areas across the USA really need increasing demand for housing and more vehicles on the roads?!

— Mass Immigration constitutes about 90% of U.S. Population Growth, and since the World's population increases by about 80 Million/Year the pressure to come to the USA will only increase. We must stop Mass Immigration to protect our environment long-term.

Legislation

The RAISE Act S354 (Cotton R-AR, Perdue R-GA) is a Good Bill But contains Three Serious Flaws.

It would:

¾    Reduce Legal Immigration by at least half to about 500,000 per year

¾    Require that Legal Immigrants speak English

¾    Require that Legal Immigrants NOT receive Welfare for 5 Years

¾    Limit "Refugees" to 50,000 per year

¾    End the Visa Lottery, and, above all…

¾    Reduce Chain Migration from appx 480,000 per year to appx.  88,000 per year by limiting family- sponsored Immigrants to spouses and minor children of US Citizens or Legal Permanent Residents.

It is Seriously flawed because:

1)      It would still allow over half a million Legal Entrants annually and thus Validates a continuation of Mass Immigration ad Infinitum—clearly Not Sustainable.

2)      By adopting a piecemeal Multi-Category approach is extremely vulnerable to Many Weakening Amendments

3)      It fails to push an all-categories-included 150,000 CAP.  BALANCE’s Push for a Zero-Net Moratorium would not only impose such a CAP but it also maximizes Political Pressure to get Reductions. The RAISE Act  Fails this Test

And, one of the RAISE Bill's alleged strong points, the Merits-based system for admitting skilled workers (H1bs) is well-intentioned but would allow far too many admissions. It is based on flawed data that American workers to not have the necessary skills, it lends itself to “gaming”, and would result in continuing job loss and wage depression among American workers.

¾    The Bill also would allow admission of too many “Refugees” (what about addressing the Needs of the USA’s hundreds of thousands of homeless first?) and allows  H2b low skilled workers, many of whose prospective jobs should either go to Americans or are, in any case, disappearing because of automation.

THE MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR THE RAISE ACT AND OTHER GOOD REDUCTIONIST BILLS IS THAT MOST OF THEIR SUPPORTERS DO NOT HAVE A CLUE MUCH LESS A STRATEGY FOR ACTUALLY GETTING THEM PASSED!

Indeed, ONLY ONE STRATEGY maximizes political pressure to achieve dramatic Reductions in Immigration, including the RAISE Act, ONLY BALANCE and its ASAP! Coalition Allies push this Strategy—push a Zero-Net Moratorium on Legal Immigration and bring Illegal Immigration to a Halt!

Pushing a Zero-Net Moratorium (which would still allow Legal Immigration of 150,000 per Year because Immigration would then equal Emigration) is key as an objective because it is reasonable and Essential for long-term Environmental and Personal Protection and for providing Sufficient Resources, INCLUDING WATER and FOOD and Money, for survival. Today, we are in the process of exceeding our long-term Carrying Capacity.

In sum, a Zero-Net Moratorium is The Necessary Condition for achieving U.S. Population Stabilization, long term Environmental Protection, Budgetary Solvency in State and Local Government (especially for our Health Care and Educational Institutions), Tax Reduction, Unemployment Reduction, Social and Cultural Cohesion and Personal Safety ... and for protection of our Food and Water Supplies!

Only our Massive Grassroots Effort can Succeed! Phone Calls or Office Visits followed by Snail Mail letters are most effective (emails are often ignored and fax machines can be turned off). And please consider that BALANCE is greatly outspent by the Cheap Labor Lobby and various Ethnic Power Lobbies.

So Please Help BALANCE MOBILIZE ACTIVISTS to Intensify our push for the aforementioned ASAP! Coalition Initiatives, TODAY, NOW!

BALANCE very much needs you to make a Tax-Deductible Donation TODAY. Dollar for Dollar, Donations to BALANCE and its ASAP! Coalition Allies who push a Moratorium, create much more Political Clout than Donations to Mass Immigration Management Groups.

$330 Billion/Year NET LEGAL IMMIGRATION plus INCREASING ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

—A Great (Last?) Opportunity to Reduce Immigration & Make a Giant Step Toward U.S. Population Stabilization & Environmental Protection

“Open Borders? No!...It would make everybody in America Poorer—You’re doing away with the Concept of a Nation State.”

Bernie Sanders, 7/28/15
Vox/Ezra Klein Interview

Indeed, the Fact that NET LEGAL IMMIGRATION COST TO U.S. TAXPAYERS is $330 Billion per Year and $$3.3 Trillion NET for the next ten years if the Inflow is not Cut provides the Great (Last?) Opportunity to Reduce Legal Immigration of 1.5 Million per year and preserve our environment!

Immigration and the children born to recent immigrants account for 80 to 90 percent of US population growth. The just released “Net Costs of Legal Immigration” Study commissioned by our ASAP! Coalition Ally, Carrying Capacity Network and conducted by Noted Economist, John Williams***, not only shows that Legal Immigration alone costs Federal Taxpayers $330 Billion NET (after subtracting Taxes Immigrants Pay) per year!, but it also shows that Mass Immigration would cost $3.3 Trillion! in the coming decade if the flow is not Reduced. And this does NOT include Costs of Illegal Immigration or State and Local Costs. 

Going forward, immigration limited to the number which allows the US population to eventually stabilize — 150,000 per year (appx same # of emigrants as immigrants) which would only be achieved by a Zero-Net Moratorium on legal immigration — is BALANCE’s Goal and in the best interest of the U.S.A. and its citizens.

Indeed, THE ONLY WAY to Achieve U.S. Population stabilization is through a zero-net Moratorium in which all Categories of Immigration are counted under an all-inclusive Cap of 150,000 per year. That is what BALANCE and its ASAP! Coalition Allies Advocate. Thus ASAP! Coalition Allies are Genuine Immigration Reduction Groups. The 150,000 per year CAP is essential to maintaining environmental protection, prosperity per capita, quality of life, personal and public safety, National Cohesion and the freedoms we have enjoyed.

Regarding Environmental Protection, we reiterate: For every person added to the U.S. Population, one Acre of Prime Farmland or Natural Habitat is converted to Developed uses (Pimentel et al, Cornell).

Since 1940, world population has grown from approximately 2 billion to 7.5 billion today and is growing at 80 Million per year.  The US population has grown from the 135 million with which we fought and won World War II to approximately 350 million today. The Earth is round and finite. Its resources and US resources cannot support unlimited numbers of people, It has a limited carrying capacity, in other words so it follows that population growth must stop.  When and how? Studies by Dr. Anne Brittain and others show that limiting immigration not only helps the U.S. move toward achieving Population Stabilization, but also drives down fertility rates in sending countries, to everyone’s benefit. And while Population Growth Often Increases Total GDP, it also always reduces Per Capita GDP. Thus all would benefit from U.S. Population Stabilization.

Consider, for example, the impact of Current legal immigration Inflow of 400,000 per year (U.S. Census) on California. It is absolutely unsustainable and not only from a fiscal perspective California is already exceeding its present and prospective potable water supplies; already-depleted underground aquifers will take decades to recharge and agriculture is suffering. And California loses tens of thousands of acres of precious farmland and natural habitat every year as that it is converted to developed uses. And the horrendous crowding on California freeways and in urban areas shows we are exceeding our carrying capacity. And should not California’s worsening housing shortage best be described as a population longage…with increasing numbers of families living homeless under freeways. Is not our first Moral Obligation to them?

And we emphasize that, NOW, is likely not only our last best Opportunity to save our Natural Environment but also our Personal Safety ENVIRONMENT and the safety of our loved ones!!! We reiterate, the ISIS Truck Driver who recently ran down Pedestrians and Cyclists in New York City was a LEGAL immigrant!!!

In sum, pushing for a Legal Immigration CAP of 150,000 per Year—Via the Zero-Net Moratorium is essential to achieving U.S. Population Stabilization and long-term Environmental Protection. Advocating for any higher level than that, as the Mass Immigration Management Groups do, is counterproductive because it assumes, and indeed validates, a continuation of Mass Immigration ad infinitum and thus creates virtually no political pressure for reductions.

***Noted Economist W. John Williams, proprietor of Shadowstats.com, the USA’s leading Independent Analyst and Reporter of Accurate Statistics regarding the U.S. Economy and Employment, was commissioned by Carrying Capacity Network to study the NET Costs of Legal Immigration to Federal taxpayers. Fact Summary of the Net Costs Study.

U.S . POPULATION STABILIZATION POSSIBLE

with BALANCE’s  “ONLY REAL SOLUTION”—IF WE ACT NOW

Just a few days NOW, and then a few weeks in 2017 could make or Break the U.S. Population Stabilization Movement.

Mass Immigration, now nearly 90% of U.S. population growth, has been The Major Cause of the USAs population soaring from 150 Million in 1950 to over 330 Million today. That growth is accelerating due to demographic momentum.

And if Illegal Immigration and Mass Legal Immigration of about 1.5 Million/year is not dramatically reduced, the USA’s population will indeed hit ONE BILLION IN 2075 as BALANCE warned a decade ago (A population increasing at 2%/year doubles every 35 years!)

So we have only a few weeks or at most a very few months in 2017 to ensure that Provisions dramatically reducing the numbers of Legal Immigrants get included in the upcoming immigration legislation aimed at halting Illegal Immigration  and get enacted into law.  With President Trump and Attorney General Sessions we have a Real Opportunity to achieve this IF WE ALL PUSH BALANCE’s REAL SOLUTION.

That is, go all-out to push a ZERO-NET MORATORIUM on LEGAL IMMIGRATION. That Maximizes Political Pressure, as well as being the Necessary Condition for ever achieving U.S. Population Stabilization, and all the benefits which come with it including Environmental Protection, Job and Budget Protection and Indeed Personal and National Security.

Pushing anything less than an MORATORIUM is COUNTERPRODUCTIVE because it sends the Message that Mass Immigration is OK if we just tweak it w bit. ONLY BALANCE and its ASAP Coalition Allies push a Moratorium!!

But WE have only  A FEW DAYS LEFT IN 2016 to obtain sufficient (Tax deductible for 2016!) Donations to Maximize our chances of Success in 2017!! It may well be our last Opportunity, given Political Realities!

SO PLEASE DONATE AS MUCH AS YOU ARE ABLE BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR … And remember how much is at stake!
