ILLEGAL immigrants cost taxpayers 100 billion a year. Funny they never mention that.

Illegal immigration costs Trillions per year.
Not joking. First, on a local and state level it involves services provided. Then the legal matters, police, judges, lawyers, NGO’s. Then the Welfare from both state and Federal. The health care. Followed by Unemployment for Americans and the subsidies they require. The Crimes committed cost money. The Currency is sent out of the nation. Basically, Illegal immigration benefits no Americans EXCEPT to keep Democrats in power.

Yep. On a related note... I might not have the numbers exactly right, but I once read that it costs something like $50,000 a year to incarcerate a prisoner. But such a person on the outside causes $250,000 a year worth of damage.

So that $50,000 is a bargain.
I guess.

You beat me to it. I was going to say that OTTO PEN BIDEN’s importation of millions of illegals cost $496 million for Trump to have the National Guard remove.

Actually, it’s more than that federally. In 2023, it was 171 billion and the state and local costs added in made the total between $595 billion and $1.7 trillion, depending on whether you take the most generous numbers for the Biden misadministration or if you take the most conservative estimates.
