According to the Justice Departments Bureau of Justice Statistics, as of June 30, 2002, America’s prison population went over the two million mark. According to their figures, it costs American taxpayers $23,476.80 per year for each prisoner. While over 25 percent of the prison population is made up on illegal aliens, it means that Americans pay nearly $12 Billion dollars a year (that’s nine zero’s, folks) to jail convicted felons who didn’t have the right to be here in the first place. Tancredo says, “Many who enter the country illegally are just looking for jobs, but others are coming to kill you, and you, and me, and my children, and my grandchildren.”
