INDIANAPOLIS, IN.(WISH) - Indiana's budget director calculates illegal immigrants have cost Indiana nearly 131 million dollars.
Budget Director Adam Horst sent Congress a bill for the amount Friday as required under Indiana's illegal immigration law passed last year by the General Assembly.
However, Congress is not expected to act on the request.
Indiana's law was modeled on the 2010 Arizona illegal immigration bill whose key provisions were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday.
Indiana's law also is being challenged in court.
Horst estimated 110-point-6 million dollars of the state's illegal immigrant costs have been for K through 12 education.
He estimated prison costs at 12-point 3 million dollars and welfare costs at nearly 8-million dollars
