Senators Rubio, Schumer, McCain and Graham, along with four others are proposing to “reform” immigration.

The “gang of eight” includes Senators Rubio, Flake, Schumer, McCain, Graham, Durbin, Menendez and Bennett.

This bi-partisan gang is proposing to spend more tax dollars… LOTS of tax dollars, to fund what they are calling “reform”.

The Heritage Foundation has just completed an extensive study of the long range costs of this proposal. Here are some of the highlights from the Heritage study:

If amnesty is enacted, the average adult unlawful immigrant would receive $592,000 more in government benefits over his lifetime than he would pay in taxes.
The lifetime fiscal deficit of amnesty — benefits minus taxes — would be $6.3 trillion, and that’s a conservative estimate.
When those granted amnesty retire and collect Social Security, they would draw $3.00 out of the pot for every $1.00 they paid in.
In 2010, the average unlawful immigrant household received around $24,721 in government benefits and services while paying some $10,334 in taxes. That means that each illegal immigrant household today costs taxpayers $14,387 per year. Amnesty would provide unlawful households with access to over 80 means-tested welfare programs, Obamacare, Social Security, and Medicare. The fiscal deficit for each household would soar.

Jim DeMint discusses this “gang of eight” proposal, and it’s cost to taxpayers, in this video:

Some people are suggesting that this “gang of eight” proposal is “well intentioned”. I can’t help but wonder if they would remain so “well intentioned” if it were THEIR 6.3 Trillion dollars they were spending.
