Ann Coulter: Surprise! That 'cheap' immigrant labor costs us a lot

By Ann Coulter, opinion contributor — 06/23/19 11:00 AM EDT

We could pay for every idiotic boondoggle proposed by the 300 Democratic presidential candidates, if the current president would simply keep his central campaign promise to build a border wall and deport illegal aliens. (Back off – “illegal alien” is the term used in federal law.)

A 2017 study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) found that illegal aliens cost the American taxpayer — on net — $116 billion a year.

That’s pretty high, but the actual number is more likely triple that.

Straight out of the chute, FAIR assumes that there are only 12.5 million illegal immigrants in the country, approximately the same number we’ve been told for the last 15 years as we impotently watched hundreds of thousands more stream across our border, year after year, after year.

Like I've said many times, if all the illegal aliens in the country and storming the borders vowed to vote Republican when  they became citizens, the Dems would be demanding one hundred foot high walls on the border topped with barbed wire and guarded with machine guns with orders to shoot to kill even women and children.

Just as there is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch,  there is no such thing as Cheap Labor.  You will pay one way or the other.
