Contrary To Media Claims, Deporting Illegal Alien Criminals Will Save Taxpayers More Than It Costs

if these illegal aliens commit a crime resembling the most serious crime that they have previously been convicted or charged with, the victimization costs amount to at least $166.5 billion. The National Institute of Justice estimated the costs to victims by including medical bills, lost wages, social/victim services, property loss/damage, police/fire service costs, and pain and suffering.

The costs of crime are roughly at least 21 times higher than deportation costs.
