1.9 million illegal immigrants apprehended at US-Mexico border in 2021, at a cost of $10 billion

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released a new report on Wednesday that showed that roughly 1.9 million illegal immigrants who entered the United States throughout the first year of the Biden presidency were apprehended.

"Based on FAIR's most recent comprehensive fiscal cost study, illegal aliens are likely imposing a net fiscal burden of at least $143.1 billion," FAIR writes in the report. "That's an increase of approximately $9.4 billion over the past year."

The number of illegal immigrants living in the US increased from 14.5 million at the end of 2020 to 15.5 million at the end of 2021.

While US Customs and Border Protection's charts deal with "border encounters," the government resource backs up the point that FAIR conveys when stating that illegal border crossings "exponentially" skyrocketed at the onset of the Biden administration.

The conclusions made by FAIR are that illegal migrants are costing American taxpayers $143.1 billion overall, with nearly $10 billion in costs coming from the influx of illegals into the US over the last year.

The leading states by population of illegal migrants are: California in first place with 3.266 million, followed by Texas, Florida, New York and New Jersey.

As for the economic relationship between US businesses and illegal migrants: people come to Mexico looking for work at a time when American establishments are willing to use "cheap labor" to make ends meet amid an era of inflation and increasing costs of living.

The FAIR report described how President Joe Biden and his administration have promised amnesty for illegal migrants in the United States and even tried to get Congress to pass legislation on the issue in 2021.

the purpose of the Federal government is to
continue rape of children, voters and the American people.

rape, treason, election fraud, destruction of borders,
and no accountability for them.

and burn food production plants.
they cite Article 666.

Not to mention the costs of rounding up the 10-30 million illegals in 2025 for deportation.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

so how does that $10 bb per year compare to the total cost of building that wall????

this $10 bb proly does not include added benefits of welfare payments, health care, housing, education and other reocurring cost to main the immigrant

this is heading towards the failed european model where80% of the muslim immigrants alone are on gummit welfare

Sounds like a bargain, if they are apprehended and turned back. If they are merely greeted, what difference does it make?

That’s why the Amnesty Senators are putting their Amnesty Gang back together.
They want to pass amnesty before we can re-elect Trump.

Be sure to re-elect Amnesty Senators Hoeven and Rubio..../s

For that amount of money, I think we could have constructed a second AND a third barrier behind the first one.

skunk water!!

the answer to BLM protests, smash and grabbers, and illegal alien invasions!

“It is a truly putrid stench. Palestinians who have been sprayed describe it as “worse than raw sewage” and “like a mixture of excrement, noxious gas and a decomposing donkey”.

Invented by Israeli firm Odortec, skunk water was first used by the Israeli military against demonstrators in the occupied West Bank in 2008. Since then armoured vehicles equipped with water cannon spraying jets of the stinky liquid have become a regular sight.

Although it may induce a gagging reflex, the company says skunk is made from “100% food-grade ingredients” and is “100% eco-friendly - harmless to both nature and people”.

The secret recipe includes yeast, baking powder and water, which sounds innocent enough. But the scent can linger on skin and in the environment for days, sometimes longer.”

How many of those 1.9 million Dimocratic voters, err I mean illegals, did they allow to enter the UN-United States of Amerika???? That is a free 1.9 million voters to ship to conservative states to steal elections as turned out in Georgia. I said for years that GA was going to be determined by Atlanta’s voting communist. They have been shipping commie voters down to the south out of the northeastern states for years. They rant and rave about conditions in those states yet come down here and bring those ways with them. As far as I am concerned, they can stay the hell up there.

“1.9 million illegal immigrants apprehended at US-Mexico border in 2021, at a cost of $10 billion”

Apprehended and done what with?

It’s not the apprehension that’s shocking but the fact that they allowed to stay, and to add insult to injury, at our expense!

The Deplorables want a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. Since that amnesty was granted already, a second amnesty is off the table. What remains is the enforcement the Democrats have disallowed since then.

The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 40-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.

What should have been going on is telling the countries where all these people come from, that any aid will be reduced by the number of people that come into America, by 100,000/person until they get their people out of America.
