Illegal aliens cost Florida taxpayers nearly two billion dollars annually from outlays in the following areas:

• Education.  Floridians spend more than $1.5 billion annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings.
•  Health Care. Taxpayer-funded, unreimbursed medical outlays for health care provided to the state's illegal alien population amount to about $165 million a year.*
• Incarceration. The uncompensated cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in Florida's state and county prisons amounts to about $155 million a year (not including local jail detention costs or related law enforcement and judicial expenditures or the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).
