DOGE: Feds Waste Billions on Illegals, Race Studies

As American families struggled to pay the bills, the Biden-Harris administration squandered billions of taxpayer dollars on illegal migrants and woke “racism” research.

Without spending a penny, we can easily identify not racism but extreme bias against law-abiding American citizens in every policy Democrats implement. This was the America Last administration, as shocking numbers released by Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) illustrate.

DOGE, headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, released statistics culled from multiple think tanks and research entities illustrating how onerous the cost of illegal migration is on the U.S. taxpayer. “In 2023 alone, illegal immigration cost taxpayers $150.7 billion,” DOGE stated.

It continued:

In 2023 alone, illegal immigration cost taxpayers $150.7 billion. To put this in context with other costs (adjusted for inflation): -World War I: $334 billion -Apollo Space Program: $257 billion -Manhattan Project: $30 billion -Panama Canal: $15.2 billion -Hoover Dam: $1 billion

And that does not even account for the loss and trauma caused by the growing problem of illegal alien crime — the thefts, the assaults, the rapes, the murders.

How could one possibly put a price on the lives of Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, or David Lee, so brutally and tragically ended by illegal alien criminals? They were each infinitely valuable, and their families and friends will never fully recover from their murders.

But illegal aliens aren’t the only federal money pit. It has been pretty clear since COVID-19 that federal agencies supposedly focused on health are much more interested in control and leftist ideology than in actually helping cure people. Not only are these agencies unconstitutional, they are actively harmful. Keep in mind the Hoover Dam price tag of $1 billion as you read these numbers from DOGE:

First thing to learn about DeeCee “cesspoolers”... this money was not such much “wasted” it was stolen. Brazen theft. The worst of them are RINOs. Democrats put their crazy in your face, RINOs stab you in the back.

Day one Trump should impound all money going to think tanks. He should say the following when he cuts them off “If you need to suck of the government tit to survive are you really smart enough to claim to be a think tank?”

Years ago a study was done showing the federal government was spending about a hundred times MORE money per ‘gay man’ on medical care than on individual citizens with cancer or heart problems.

Real numbers will let the bias sink in.

One dollar was spent on a cancer patient for every hundred dollars spent on a gay patient. I’m guessing it’s a thousand to one on money spent on democrats vs Republicans.

Would love to see a DOGE Report website whereon Musk and Ramaswamy update their findings for every department and every instance of unnecessary spending (pork).

Would be a full time job for someone and their team.

What a breath of fresh air that a government agency (not even a formally inaugurated agency yet!) is doing this work and exposing this. This is SO wonderful!!

The out-of-control, corrupt government just kept getting bigger and bigger decade after decade, getting more corrupt and more entrenched and almost impossible to dislodge. As Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, “sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.”

Then, finally, supermen like Trump, Musk, and Ramaswamy ride into town and expose the whole sordid anti-American, America-last blob. The worst thing is the bastards are using OUR tax dollars against us taxpayers.

Huh, and the sun sets in the west as well, who would have known.

The people enjoying this gravy train will likely just re-name their programs and objectives. Rooting out the pork pipeline will be a bit of work.
