New Mexico spends 717 million a year in costs on illegal immigrants
The approximate 100,000 illegal immigrants in New Mexico continue to force the state to expend funds on people living in the U.S. illegally.
New Mexico spends approximately $717 million per year in fiscal costs to support the illegal immigrants residing in the state, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s (FAIR) 2013 report. Of those funds, which come primarily from taxpayer money, $438 million goes toward K-12 education costs, $54 million goes toward supplemental English teaching efforts, $76 million goes toward prosecuting and policing illegal immigrants, and $108 million go toward heath care and social assistance.
As a result, each New Mexico household headed by a U.S.-born citizen pays on average about $1,000 to support people who are in the U.S. illegally. Only about $34 million worth of the financial burden is funded by taxes from illegal immigrants.
Additionally, there are an estimated 30,000 U.S.-born children with illegal immigrant parents in New Mexico. Accordingly, New Mexico’s taxpayers pay $11,876 for each child in their public school system.
