The Cost of Illegal Aliens to New Jersey
X ^ | 08 18 2026 | NY Assemblyman Paul Kanitra

Posted on 08/19/2026 5:36:02 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Our new report on the size, scope and cost of illegal immigration in NJ is now out. We’ve found a state so hopelessly compromised that we’ve officially requested federal intervention from the DOJ, DHS and House Judiciary Committee.

A staggering 8.2B is being spent every single year on 737,000 illegal invaders in New Jersey. And it’s costing each of you $1,700 a year! If you rent, you can add another $1,000 annually onto that figure from illegals driving up housing costs.

What’s even crazier is this is all despite an overall drop in illegals due to deportations and self deportations!

We spent six months meticulously gathering data, submitting OPRA requests and crunching numbers. By pulling the actual affidavits illegals use to get driver’s licenses, we not only were able to definitively prove over 100,000 are crowding our roadways… but for the first time we can map where they live by zip code.

The State and this Administration has lost its freaking mind. Some highlights from this criminal enterprise:

$26,000,000 a year to help illegals fight their own deportations. Up 830% from 2018.

$169,000,000 for healthcare costs for illegal minors. Up 417% since 2022.

$1,280,000,000 for education of newly arrived illegals. Up 53% since 2019.

And for the bleeding hearts who can’t think for themselves and mindlessly parrot the BS line that illegals pay for themselves with sales taxes…. We’ve crunched the numbers for you. It only makes up 16% of the overall drain they create for this state. So don’t even try it.

The situation simply isn’t sustainable. Schools are cutting teachers, sports and after school programs. First responders can’t get cost of living increases. The average first time home buyer is in their 40’s.

Every legal New Jerseyan’s wallet has been emptied to pay for illegals. It’s time to return all their money. It’s time to send every single invader home.

his is insane! Don’t New Jersey residents know what’s going on? Or is it just that they can’t do anything about it? I was only there once for an overnight visit due to weather. See no reason now to ever go back. And I’d have to be out of my mind to ever want to live there.

“A staggering 8.2B is being spent every single year on 737,000 illegal invaders in New Jersey.”

Oh no no no ... they are just undocumented Democratic voters not illegal invaders aka illegal aliens.

[[A staggering 8.2B is being spent every single year on 737,000 illegal invaders in New Jersey.]]

AND that is just direct costs- the indirect costs associated with illegals is way way higher. back a couple decades ago it was estimated that the TOTAL cost, (direct and indirect, estimated) was between $400 BILLION dollars and $600 BILLION dollars.

That number today is very likely over $1 TRILLION dollars.

Democrats screamed about $25 billion it would take to build the wall, and screamed about how expensive it would be to deport all the illegals.

Even if it cost say $200 BILLION dollars to build wall and deport illegals en mass, it would only be a 1 time cost, and we would be saving about $1 TRILLION dollars every year after that! But the liberals and the feckless media wailed moaned and witched about the costs of deportation and the wall, and got a lot of low info people, the gimmedats of the nation, to rally against the wall-

In my profile pagem, i have stats from decades ago detailing the massive crimes committed b y illegals- it is staggering, and ANYONE opposing deporting illegals is complicit in the deaths and destruction wrought by illegals on this nation!

here is just one of the stats in my profile page- there is another section that shows even more-

Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants

http://www.usillegalaliens.com/impacts_of_illegal_immigration_crime_summary.html

In recent Testimony of District Attorney John M. Morganelli before the House Subcommittee on immigration, Border, Security and Claims he stated:

“Unfortunately, the majority of illegal aliens who are here are engaged in criminal activity. Identity theft, use of fraudulent social security numbers and green cards, tax evasion, driving without licenses represent some of the crimes that are engaged in by the majority of illegal aliens on a daily basis merely to maintain and hide their illegal status.
In addition, violent crime and drug distribution and possession is also prevalent among illegal aliens. Over 25% of today’s federal prison population are illegal aliens. In some areas of the country, 12% of felonies, 25% of burglaries and 34% of thefts are committed by illegal aliens.”

•In Los Angeles, 95% of some 1,500 outstanding warrants for homicides are for illegal aliens. About 67% of the 17,000 outstanding fugitive felony warrants are for illegal aliens.

•There are currently over 400,000 unaccounted for illegal alien criminals with outstanding deportation orders. At least one fourth of these are hard core criminals.

•80,000 to 100,000 illegal aliens who have been convicted of serious crimes are walking the streets. Based on studies they will commit an average of 13 serious crimes per perpetrator.

•Illegal aliens are involved in criminal activities at a rate that is 2-5 times their representative proportion of the population.

•In 1980, our Federal and state facilities held fewer than 9,000 criminal aliens but at the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in U.S. correctional facilities at a cost of about $6.8 billion per year.

•At least 4.5 million pounds of cocaine with a street value of at least $72 billion is smuggled across the southern border every year. ..

•56% of illegal aliens charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted on at least 5 prior occasions.

•Illegal aliens charged with unlawful reentry had the most extensive criminal histories. 90% had been previously arrested. Of those with a prior arrest, 50% had been arrested for violent or drug-related felonies.

•Illegal aliens commit between 700,000 to 1,289,000 or more crimes per year.

•Illegal aliens commit at least 2,158 murders each year – a number that represents three times greater participation than their proportion of the population.

•Illegal alien sexual predators commit an estimated 130,909 sexual crimes each year.

•There may be as many as 240,000 illegal alien sex offenders circulating throughout America. Based on studies, they will commit an average of 8 sex crimes per perpetrator before being caught.

•Nearly 63% of illegal alien sex offenders had been deported on another offense prior to committing the sex crime.

•Only 2% of the illegal alien sex offenders in one study had no history of criminal behavior, beyond crossing the border illegally.

•In Operation Predator, ICE arrested and deported 6,085 illegal alien pedophiles. Some studies suggest each pedophile molests average of 148 children. If so, that could be as many as 900,580 victims.

•Nobody knows how big the Sex Slave problem is but it is enormous.

•The very brutal MS-13 gang has over 15,000 members and associates in at least 115 different cliques in 33 states.

•The overall financial impact of illegal alien crimes is estimated at between $14.4 and $81 billion or more per year. Factor in the crime as a result of the cocaine and other drugs being smuggled in and the number may reach $150 billion per year.

Where does Rubio come off berating Trump for citing FACTS?

[[Congressman Steve King (R-IA) estimates that illegal alien drunk drivers kill 13 Americans every day — that’s a death toll of 4,745 per year.[4]

The 23 percent criminal traffic offenders figure is only part of the overall picture. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, another 23 percent, more than 43,000 illegal aliens, were convicted of drug offenses. The violent crime category of assault, robbery, sexual assault, and family offenses comes to 12 percent. The non-violent crime grouping of larceny, fraud, and burglary totaled seven percent, and on the list goes — equaling 100 percent of illegal aliens who have been through the criminal justice system and inflicted thousands to millions in cost per alien on the system, for issues having nothing to do with their illegal entry into the country]]

the link seems to be out of date- no page found- but im sure the wayback machine has it- and don’t forget, those stats were from decades ago- the crime rates by illegals have skyrocketted since those stats were posted because obama and ilk opened our borders wide open and rewarded illegal invaders with all kinds of ‘freebies’! We have approx 20 million (LIKELY even more) more illegals here today than when the stats above were released-

"Don’t New Jersey residents know what’s going on? Or is it just that they can’t do anything about it?"

The ones who do know have moved out of the state (as I have) or will soon. As for doing anything about it? No, that state is gone. Republicans will never control anything there (not that it would necessarily make any difference, because they're a bunch of weak RINOs there, just as they are in DC). Far too much of the state is now foreign-born and/or illegal aliens, and most of the rest are liberals/leftists.

Can anybody?

Try to vote the Rats out, they just cheat and keep an iron grip on their illicit power.

The illegals are here to prop up the dead “democrat” party. Without them, every election would be a sea of Red.
