After a brief hiatus that coincided with the worst of the economic recession, North Carolina’s illegal alien population is on the rise again. There are about 410,000 illegal aliens in the state, 25,000 (6.5%) more than in 2007. This concentration of illegal aliens — 4.3 percent of the overall population — is higher than the national average of 3.9 percent, and ranks North Carolina as the 11th most impacted state in the country.
Illegal immigration costs North Carolina taxpayers about $2 billion per year. That amounts to about $578 for every household headed by a native-born or naturalized U.S. citizen.
