Gail Russell Chaddock at the Christian Science Monitor writes of the Kennedy immigration travesty: "A government study puts the cost of the Senate’s version of reform at $127 billion over 10 years."

Now, in reality that economic analysis looks only at a small portion of the costs. Essentially what they are looking at is increases in entitlement spending. The problems include that they aren’t looking at factors including:

That $127 Billion estimate is very much a best-case scenario. NSF and my own previous analysis put the estimated costs at closer to $100K/illegal immigrant-which might mean the $127 Billion estatimate is more than an order of magnitude off.
