We spend $100 billion each year to give them free healthcare, feed, house, educate, and imprison them.
It is substantially more than that. You can also add into that remittances to the tune of $120 billion per year. That is money that illegal workers send home to their home countries in a sort of perverse reverse tourism. Tourists come to our country and leave their money. Illegals come here take our money and send it back to their home country to support their families.
Just what I was thinking.
I don’t hear our government complaining about spending money.
I’m all for spending money for something that will make our future better.
My Dad was a good business man and anytime my Mom complained about spending too much, his reply was always the same,
“You’ve got to spend money to make money”.
