DHS says 8% of Nicaraguan population entered US under Biden, draining billions from American economy
JusttheNews ^ | 2/20/26 | Misty Severi

The Department of Homeland Security said Friday in a social media post that eight percent of the total population of Nicaragua illegally came into the United States under the Biden administration, which siphoned resources from the U.S.

The department said a large percentage of Cuban, Haitian and Honduran nationals are also in the United States illegally, consisting of 7% of Cuba's total population, 6% of Haiti's, and 5% of Honduras,' according to Fox News.

"Illegal immigration is siphoning American resources," the department posted on X. "Due to unchecked migration during the Biden era, 8% of the ENTIRE population of Nicaragua illegally entered America.

"After coming to the U.S., many of these Nicaraguans sent remittances back home," DHS continued. "These remittances now make up 37% of the entire Nicaraguan economy, taking billions of dollars away from our nation. This is unsustainable, and DHS is working to end it."

I’d like to see Trump hammer this during the SOTU. Maybe the rats would walk out.

I’d correct this to say they were brought in to use as a way to steal billions and then accuse them of stealing the money.
Anyone in their right mind could see that. How could some low IQ immigrants know out system and quickly figure out how to scam so much?

Huge numbers of Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, Cuban , El Salvadoran and Guatemalan flooded the US illegally and many are in the US for nefarious purposes.

Daniel Ortega, Soviet era Sandinista National Liberation Front leader and current communist dictator in Nicaragua , was using Nicaragua as a staging ground to import terrorists, cartel thugs, military special forces and revolutionaries from Iran, Cuba, Syria, the Middle East , Yemen, China, North Korea, Venezuela, El Salvador, Guatemala and a host of other countries that are hostile or outright enemies of the United States. .

These infiltrators would be flown in or transported into Nicaragua.

Their identities would be washed, new passports and ID with fake identities were issued and they were trained and staged for infiltration into the United States.

Are you under the delusion that running a scam is hard?

It is made to appear so, in fiction, but in real life scamming people is easy. Scamming the government is so easy a halfwit could do it.

Government employees do not care because it is not their money that they give away. And the more they give away the more their department budget increases and the more their status and power rises.

They are brought in and told that all they need to do is ask. So they ask. And they ask for their brother too because why not? And when they get the double potion they ask for their brother and little sister who is really sick and needs some really expensive medicine.

RE: DHS finds 8 of Nicaraguans came to US and cost billions to Americans....

Dems have a solution. End the DHS.

A clickbait yesterday said
Democrat Insiders Want More Than Defunding ICE. They want to disband DHS.

According to Wiki, the Nicaragua population is 7.1 million.

So - 710,000 now collecting welfare payments in the USA.

Thanks, Joe!

I would like to hear the Prez announce he is suspending all immigration and closing the Mexican border immediately.
