I saw a video yesterday of Markwayne Mullin, the new DHS Secretary, appearing on Laura Ingraham’s show. He stated that it costs more than $18,000 per deportee to remove an illegal from the United States. If you’re thinking that’s because we’re giving them swag bags and first-class tickets home, you’d be wrong. At least that would be fast. No, the $18,000 is what it costs to navigate an illegal through the justice system because activist “judges” make the government jump through a labyrinth of laws and hoops.
Mullins encourages us to imagine the cost of doing that to the twenty million illegals allowed in during the Biden administration. That would be $360 billion! And there would still be another 30 million illegals in the country.
All of this reminded me of a conversation I was having with a young person recently about the cost of illegals to the country. In this case, we were talking about housing. I mentioned that one of the reasons that housing was so expensive is that there are 50 million illegals in the United States. Despite California’s insane Homeless Industrial Complex, most of them are not living on the streets, in California, or anywhere else. They are living in homes.
The population of the United States is approximately 350 million people, who live in approximately 148 million housing units. That is an average of 2.4 people per house or apartment (collectively, “residences”).
Immigrants typically have more people living in their homes—3.5 people per residence. Using that number, the 50 million illegal aliens in the United States live in 14 million residences.

Take their redundant organs as partial payment.
Still a tiny small fraction of the total cost (and a lot safer) than keeping them in the USA.
Forward!
Roger that!
Cheaper than keeping them here on welfare. No immigration from people who can’t or won’t at least try to support themselves. As it is now, they come here to be taken care of by American taxpayers.
all laws related to asylum need to be repealed. No one who enters illegally should EVER be granted asylum. PERIOD.
I dont care if the president of their home country has said publically that particular person will be executed if they return. If they entered America ILLEGALLY they have lost whatever protection they might have been offered before.
Agreed. The asylum seekers who should be considered are the ones who request asylum first. Asylum seekers should go to the American embassy/consulate near them and request it like it used to be done. And even then don’t give it to everyone who asks for it. It should be a minimal number of people.
So what?! 18k compared to the 7k they were each getting in cash and benefits every f’n month. We need to get them outta here!
I voted for obliteration and draining of the enemy domestic activist judicial just us system
Saving our republic...
Priceless.
The U.S. Treasury could make that back tenfold within minutes by selling lottery tickets for their deportation.
We have no obligation to deport a criminal to a country he claims to be from. Deport him anywhere.
Do it by lottery on television. It can be like 'The Running Man'.
"Maybe he'll go to Ukraine. Maybe he'll go to Afghanistan, Iran, or Haiti. Place your online bets before we spin the wheel and find out."
“Who loves you, and who do you love?”
Money well spent. I would siphon 3 pints of blood from each one before they kicked to the tarmac in their home shithole.
Long overdue time to DISMANTLE IT ALL.
Oh okay so now we’re doing a “cost/benefit analysis”. Which means they stay. As the old song says, “It’s cheaper just to keep her”. We can’t be seen spending money we don’t have. What would the neighbors think?
If they go there will be trouble, and if they stay it will be double.
$18k is peanuts compared to the cost of ILLEGAL INVADERS remaining in USA.
Appears Markwayne Mullin is not pro-deportation...and another failed pick by POTUS Trump.
Sigh...
Increase incentive pay to $10k.
Are you me?
How about zero immigration for at least 5 years. Problem solved.
