CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - According to the results of a new study, illegal immigration is costing North Carolina taxpayers over a billion dollars a year.
The study was conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
It found that illegal immigration has a net cost of $1.1 billion a year which translates to $321 a year paid by every non-illegal immigrant household.
The study evaluated the following factors:
•The cost paid by the state for health care for uninsured illegal immigrants ($209 million/year).
•The cost of keeping illegal immigrants in prison ($49 million/year).
•The cost of educating children who are either illegal themselves or have illegal parents ($975 million/year).
Currently, the state of North Carolina has a budget shortfall of over $2 billion. The author of the study, Jack Martin, says cracking down on illegal immigration would take a big bite out of the state's budget shortfall.
"The budget would be closer to being in balance if it were not for this very large problem," Martin said.
The Latin American Coalition which is located in Charlotte questions the findings of FAIR's study.
"This study is flawed," said Advocacy Coordinator Ruben Campillo. "I think there are many other benefits that immigrants bring to the economy that are not being accounted for."
"If you were to remove the undocumented population from the state, it would not significantly impact our budget overall."
Campillo takes issue with the study in part because some U.S. citizens are counted as contributing to the costs of illegal immigration.
The U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants are by law citizens of the United States, but were included in the study anyway.
Campillo doesn't think they should have been, but Martin says since the parents were illegally in the country, he considers what the state pays for their children to be fair game in the study.
Martin says the federal government requires each state to pay many immigration-related costs so there's really only one way to get those costs down.
"The only way that the state can effectively work to reduce this cost to the taxpayer is to work to reduce the size of the illegal immigrant population," Martin said.
He says the 287g program used in many North Carolina counties is a start. It gives local authorities federal immigration powers.
But Martin says the state needs to do a better job of cracking down on those who employ illegals. He says if illegal immigrants couldn't find anyone to hire them they'd quickly leave the state.
But Campillo favors a different approach.
"I think that what's important here is not the numbers that we're looking at, but the need to address this issue at the federal level," he said. "I think we can both agree--regardless of where you stand on the issue of immigration--it needs to be addressed."

"There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." --Theodore Roosevelt
"This nation is in danger of becoming a Third World nightmare with all the corruption, disease, illiteracy, violence and balkanization known all over the world. We need a 10-year moratorium on all immigration to catch our collective breath and we need deportation of over 10 million illegal aliens in a slow and orderly fashion." --Ed Garrison
“The 1987 amnesty was a failure; rather than reducing illegal immigration, it led to an increase,” FAIR stated. “Any new amnesty measure will further weaken respect for our immigration laws. Therefore, all amnesty measures must be defeated.” --Frosty Wooldridge
