Study pegs cost of immigration bill’s mass legalization at $6.3 trillion

The comprehensive immigration overhaul being taken up in the Senate this week could cost taxpayers $6.3 trillion if 11 million illegal immigrants are granted legal status, according to a long-awaited estimate by the conservative Heritage Foundation.

The cost would arise from illegal immigrants tapping into the government's vast network of benefits and services, many of which are currently unavailable to them. This includes everything from standard benefits like Social Security and Medicare to dozens of welfare programs ranging from housing assistance to food stamps.

Just like the numbers of illegals already here and the cost of ObamaCare, this number will skyrocket the second any new legislation is passed.

...far beyond the Heritage Foundation's estimates.

That's the whole idea....debt and more debt until the government collapses.....and the government can nationalize everything then....make Obama and the DUmmies very happy....for a short time until the DUmmies realize the easy, comfortable, free ride is over.

Unfortunately, I'll be dead before that happens.

so much for Rubio's claims that these people won't be eligible for one cent of government assistence until they become legal citizens 13 years down the road. 

This bill is a steaming turd and there is no amount of buffing or polishing that will make it anything but a turd.

That will add a lot to our debt for sure.
