Blue State Outlook: Almost 1-in-10 New Jersey Residents Are Illegal Aliens

Nearly 1-in-10 New Jersey residents are illegal aliens, costing the blue state’s residents at least $7.3 billion annually, a report from State Assemblyman Paul Kanitra (R) finds.

The report suggests that illegal aliens now account for about 7 to 8 percent of all New Jersey residents with an estimated 892,000 out of the state’s 9.3 million residents. According to Kanitra, New Jersey “hosts a disproportionate share of the illegal alien population in these United States.”

“New Jersey hosts about 1 in 22 of the illegal aliens and 1 in 37 of the people in these United States,” the report states. “That means there are 60% more illegal aliens in New Jersey than our fraction of this Union’s population.”

The cost to New Jersey residents is enormous, Kanitra details, as each New Jersey household spends about $2,100 every year to afford illegal aliens residing in the state. Likewise, every individual employed in New Jersey is billed nearly $1,600 annually for illegal immigration.

Housing illegal aliens, specifically, has come with large burdens for blue state residents — including those who live in New Jersey.
