I would like to see an accounting of all monies spent on illegals.

Here is a couple of numbers I saw this year. Total US spent on services to illegals annually 89 billion. California 21 billion.

It’s collusion between media and Democrats. All the Democrats have to do is to say “no” and Trump (and the Republicans) get all the blame.

Did that help us? Yes.

Did it add to the deficit? Combined with the increases in spending, yes.

I think we’ll see some great numbers coming down the pike.

We're running trillion dollar deficits now, when the economy is going full speed and unemployment has literally never been lower. What will deficits be like once the next economic downturn hits?

Which would mean that additional tax cuts would result in reduced revenue?

If they (rates) stay the same we will see next year.

Thank you for these numbers . That is amazing and needs to be made known to everyone.

I live in Cal and vote for no bonds or tax increases. I write to the gov and my reps and say, take it out of the money you spend on illegals.

Well, adding 300,000 jobs in January isn’t exactly the vision of things slowing down.

That would be a 3.6 million dollar increase in the work force if it could be sustained all year.

Don’t forget that January generally has a hard hurdle to get over when holiday jobs are being discontinued. To add 300,000 jobs then is pretty amazing.

I see Democrats criticizing President Trump for the mounting national debt. But think of how they would squeal if he actually could get Congress to cut spending?

Somewhat deceptive. Southern states have large military presence. That gets accumulated into their baskets. Fort Campbell, fort hood, redstone arsenal, ft benning, fort bragg. I don’t know if it’s fair. Most big military bases are where it appears it’s cheaper to operate or in states friendly to operate.

In addition the percentage of minority population plays into it also. Again just an observation.
