text: I have seen the 113 billion cost of our 11 million undocumented "illegal" residents on FOXNews. I believe it originated at The Heritage Foundation and is widely disputed, especially by government agencies that track these things. It is baloney for right-wingers to chew on while cursing Mexicans. I hope that doesn't include you; sadly,it included my late father who became addicted to Lou Dobbs. But generally, it is based on The Heritage Foundation report that each illegal immigrant family cost $14,387 above what they contributed to the economy and in local, state, federal, and SSI and Medicare contributions.    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_impact_of_illegal_immigrants_in_the_United_States
  
  It is generally the consensus of all government departments that overall, illegal immigrants contribute far more than they take. In addition, when adjusted for sex and age cohorts, illegal immigrants are far less likely than citizens to commit felonies.
  
  I would like to see your citations.
