How long will they stay in this temporary housing? Thats the issue. At 775 per day, it only takes 3 months to reach the lifetime burden of a typical low-educated immigrant ($62,582, according to the study you just cited.). Thats before we even get into the cost of all the extra security and legal fees.

more in government benefits than they pay in taxes.” My own research has come to the same conclusion.18
Poorly educated people are a drain "whether immigrant or US born" which is why universal free education would be so beneficial for everyone anyway. You see , education is the IV in this relationship, not immigration.

Those with modest levels of education tend to earn low wages in the modern American economy, and as
a result tend to make low tax payments and often qualify for means-tested programs. The less-educated are a net fiscal drain,
on average, regardless of legal status or if they were born in the United States or a foreign country.
Lets just ignore the people who are paying them low wages, extracting their production, and not being taxed. We should blame them and make them pay workers more of a fair share. That way, all those extra income taxes can be generated. You see, the employers who pay poverty wages are the real drain on the economy. This is what you call a scapegoat. a result tend to make low tax payments and often qualify for means-tested programs. The less-educated are a net fiscal drain,

s. In terms of the educational attainment of illegal immigrants, there is a good deal
of evidence that they have modest levels of education, much lower than native-born Americans or legal immigrants.
Its almost as if they are coming here for a better life!of evidence that they have modest levels of education, much lower than native-born Americans or legal immigrants.
Three months is still two to three times longer than the average stay in detention. Furthermore your number of $775 daily cost is not only unsourced, but you state self contradictory costs in your own original statement.

See page 12, the average stay in detention is 34-44 days. Even at your inflated and unsourced prices (which are not supported by the source above) it is still less costly to deport them.
Poorly educated people are a drain on the system, great, so why are we importing more of them instead of dealing with the ones already here? Cost is not the only problem with education. Some people simply are not capable or unwilling to educate themselves, this is a fact. You can send some one with down syndrome to Harvard for free, they are still going to have an IQ of 50 by the time they get out no matter how much money you throw at them.
Your argument about low wages is a non-sequitur. It doesn't matter how much blame they share, the negative effects of illegal immigration are still a fact. That is what you call a fallacy. It is almost as if you are telling the people already here who want a better life to go fuck themselves so you can feel generous at their expense!
