Illegal Immigrants' Cost to Government Studied

This article said that immigrants cost the government more than 10 billion dollars a year. That part of that is because illegal people get medical health. Also they get food because they don't have money for food and money for school. Almost two-thirds illegal immigrants don't have a high school degree. People say that if illegal immigrants get their residency they are going to make the cost go up. This is because they are going to get more things while thery are not really skilled. They think that if illegal immigrants disappear it will drop 10 billion dollars and the government won't loose the money but it is not true. This all I understood by reading this article.

Questions:
1. What is the whole argument of this article?

2. Is it only illegal immigrants that cost the government?

3. Why didn't they do a much deeper report?

The article More illegal immigrants are rushing to file taxes talked how illegal people are doing their taxes. They are risking themselves by giving the government their name and address and other things. Alot of people call The Community Economic Development Center in New Bedford asking help for filing their taxes. The IRS created ITINs, wicha re numbers that track the tax returned to those who are not eligible for a social security number. The ITINs were created on 1996. They say that the most people that use this ITIN number are illegal immigrants. Some legal residents use ITIN numbers to. In the year 2006 in Massachusetts 39,221 ITIN numbers did their taxes. That was a 20% increase from the past year. Illegal immigrants have to pay back taxes as a maybe to get their residency.Giving hopes to 12 million people. From 1996 to 2003 people who had ITIN numbers paid the government 50 billion dollars. Some people don't think that illegal immigrants should become residents just because they are paying taxes.

Questions:
1. What is the problem with the number of people doing their taxes going up?

2. Why shouldn't illegal immigrants get their residency if they are paying their taxes?

3.How many people that are residents have ITIN numbers?

The website called USA Political Action Committee only had facts about illegal immigration. It said that there's 10-20 million illegal people in the U.S. that are criminals. Federal prison population is 25% of illegal immigrants. Every year 2 billion dollars is the nationwide cost to states for housing illegal immigrants. In the U.S. 400,000 illegal people have done crimes and have been deported. In December 2002 a man named Saul Morales-Garcia shot a Las Vegas officer six times. He had been deported but re-entered illegally. Tony Zeppetella was killed on August 2004 by Adrienne George Camacho who had a criminal record that had 4 felony convictions and was deported but came back to California. It had another case of an illegal immigrant that did a crime. This were all the facts this website had.

Questions:
1. Why do they only do reports on cases of illegal immigrants?

2. How many legal residents have done crimes as bad or worst than illegal immigrants?

3. Isn't this being racist by only focusing on non-residents?
