          INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana's budget director calculates illegal immigrants have cost Indiana $130.9 million.

Budget Director Adam Horst sent Congress a bill for the amount Friday as required under Indiana's illegal immigration law passed last year by the General Assembly.

Congress is not expected to act on the request, however.

Indiana's law was modeled on the 2010 Arizona illegal immigration bill whose key provisions were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday. Indiana's law also is being challenged in court.

Horst estimated $110.6 million of the state's illegal immigrant costs have been for K-12 education. He estimated prison costs at $12.3 million and welfare costs at nearly $8 million.

HOW

          to they account for these numbers?

That's a good question, and it's also curious that they have calculated cost but not income, as it's well-documented that "illegal" residents bring states more income than they cost them.

I'm perfectly fine with a law that mandates the deportation of anyone suspected of being a banker.

It's surprisingly easy to track income taxes from undocumented immigrants, for two reasons; one, the most common form of social security fraud is using a stolen number to pay taxes, and two, the IRS has a form that a surprisingly high number of undocumented resident workers voluntarily use to pay taxes with because they want to be participants in the American system. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2017113852_immigtaxes29.html http://articles.businessinsider.com/2012-03-16/news/31199931_1_residency-and-taxpaying-illegal-immigrants-taxation-and-economic-policy http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/just-facts/unauthorized-immigrants-pay-taxes-too

That's the direct income; it's harder to quantify the indirect income they generate by keeping afloat certain industries that are dependent on their labor (check out the farm labor crises in Georgia and Kansas), and also by stimulating our economy by being consumers. Now that immigration flow has reversed, unless something happens to replace it we're going to start seeing some direct and unpleasant economic effects of population decline on an economy that is structured on growth.

As an aside, were you aware that, contrary to popular belief among the pundit crowd, most undocumented residents didn't get here by sneaking across the border, but came on student, travel, or work visas, and just didn't leave after they expired?

I like hockey. To the point I'll actually watch it on TV. But I'm trying to figure out why you'd have a team in the desert. It's about as ridiculous as green lawns in the desert, sfaiac.

Speaking of which, the HOA dinged me $25 last week because my grass isn't green enough.

That's a bargain.  The amount of water you'd need to keep it green would run you about $90.

Move down to Tucson.  We don't have lawns.  Well, a few people do, and we laugh at them openly.

what? do they not realise that they live in a goddamn desert? You yanks have some weird property laws. Over here as long as your garden isn't covered in rubbish you don't have any issues. Well, except for trees that cut out masses of light, but that's kinda understandable with the overcast nature of this island. Your neighbour has a bunch of leylandi and bang, rickets.

There.  NOW it's fixed.

And we're against that sort of thing, by the way.

Whoops!  Fucking edit button is right next to the quote button.

Sorry.

It's all good.

I'm starting to hear references to those people on bicycles too.
