Additionally. Federal criminal penalties would be extended to gangs and sweatshops who contract with smugglers in order to obtain illegal labor. To effectively implement this legislation. it is necessary to increase the size of the Border Patrol. the antismuggling unit of INS. and the INS asylum officer corps. Although this will cost money. the savings realized by American citizens will be more. Recently. Prof. Don Huddle of Rice University indicated that the Immigrants who have entered the United States since 1970 have cost all levels of government more than $45 billion per year. above and beyond what they paid in taxes. Illegal aliens cost taxpayers billions of dollars by using public education. health benefits. and other welfare services. and their fraud limits the availability of these services to American citizens. To illustrate. major cost incurred by illegal aliens in 1992 alone included: primary and secondary education. $3.900.000.000. bilingual education. $858.000.000. aid to families with dependent children. $820.000.000. and assistance to displaced workers. $6.928.000.000. I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed at this point in the RECORD.
