Costs associated with illegal immigration aren't really all that clear cut, from what I've seen. Undocumented immigrants generate a lot of revenue and economic activity and pay a lot in taxes while not being able to use most government services.

The major drag on revenues that I was able to find is on state/local governments that fund education for undocumented children, which should probably be remedied with more federal funding to offset.

Tons of datapoints cited at the Wikipedia page on the subject

Oh yes I can see how rich Lampedusa is becoming right now with all the illegal immigration there.
