THE BIG PAY OFF
In a Washington Times op-ed, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) has attacked the U.S. Chamber of Congress for its opposition to the E-Verify program at a time when the Chamber has asked the Congress to “put the American people first.“ http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/oct/09/put-americans-first/
According to a study by the Heritage Foundation, each low-skilled immigrant household received $30,160 in government benefits - including education, medical care, transportation and sanitation services - but paid only $10,573 in taxes. That means the average low-skilled immigrant household costs American taxpayers almost $20,000 per year. Also, the Center for Immigration Studies estimates that low-skilled American workers lose an average of $1,800 a year because of competition from low-skilled immigrants for their jobs. Driving down the wages of American workers is not a route to “economic opportunity” the chamber claims is its goal.
