Illegal Immigration Costs U.S. $113 Billion a Year,
Moreover, the studys breakdown of costs on a state-by-state basis shows that in states with the largest number of illegals, the costs of illegal immigration are often greater than current, crippling budget deficits. In Texas, for example, the additional cost of immigration, $16.4 billion, is equal to the states current budget deficit; in California the additional cost of illegal immigration, $21.8 billion, is $8 billion more than the states current budget deficit of $13.8 billion; and in New York, the $6.8 billion deficit is roughly two-thirds the $9.5 billion yearly cost of its illegal population, according to Jack Martin, the researcher who completed the study.
