Nevada's costs for illegal immigration

Here we are talking about 13% unemployment rate, being $2B in debt, cutting school programs, raising taxes, closing libraries and recently closing all State parks.

“The Silver State spends $470 million annually to educate the children of illegal immigrants in public schools and an additional $45 million for limited English programs. Eighty five million goes to healthcare for illegal immigrants and $31 to incarcerate them. All in all the tax payers of Nevada pay over $630M a year to support this illegal foreign population within our State borders.”

“In Nevada the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) –created by the federal government to provide welfare to illegal aliens-program’s caseload has grown 96% since the recession hit the state. A news report reveals that around 4,250 of the families receiving the benefit in Nevada have “mixed immigration status.” In other words, Nevada taxpayers are supporting thousands of illegal alien families because they have at least one anchor baby.”

Illegal aliens are also largely responsible for Nevada’s home foreclosure crisis and are by far the fastest growing demographic of our prison population.
As far as the nation goes:
43 % of all Food Stamps issued are to Illegal Aliens.
41 % of all Unemployment Checks in the United States are to Illegal Aliens.
58% of all Welfare payments in the United States are issued to Illegal Aliens.

Any cuts should start with those who are breaking our laws. It is time to start looking out for Nevadans.
