Analysis: Nearly 17 Million Illegal Aliens in the United States Cost Americans $163 Billion Annually
Breitbart ^ | 06/22/2023 | JOHN BINDER

The nation’s illegal alien population has hit nearly 17 million, an increase of more than two million since President Joe Biden began implementing his Catch and Release network at the United States–Mexico border, an analysis reveals.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released its annual report estimating the size of the illegal alien population residing in the United States.

Based on the latest Census Bureau data, FAIR researchers found that there are at least 16.8 million illegal aliens now living in American communities — an increase of 2.3 million illegal aliens since Biden took office in January 2021 and an increase of 1.3 million illegal aliens since the same time last year.

How much do the other 30 million illegals cost us annually?

(Yes, an additional $288 billion if calculated at the same rate.)

Nope. All part of the plan to replace Americans.

From Gallup summary....
Since 2010, young adults’ positive ratings of socialism have hovered near 50%, while the rate has been consistently near 34% for Gen Xers and near 30% for baby boomers/traditionalists. Nov 25, 2019

Combine tens of millions of immigrants and the recent high schoolers who will soon be first time voters and it’s bye, bye USA.

True.

Can we respectfully ask for the money back from the Dems?
Maybe as reparations payments to us?

Didn’t a US Supreme Court judge just say “you can’t simply give money to one group at the expense of another “ in regards to student loan forgiveness

Agree. $163 billion seems low. Only $9588.24 per immigrant. Your $300 billion is closer to $30,000 per immigrant which is still likely low.

In the late 60’s & early 70’s, the number of illegals was pegged at 20 MILLION HERE.

Those numbers grew each year & OBAMA campaigned on “11 MILLION”===A COMPLETE LIE

I would calculate that the current number of ILLEGALS inside our borders is much closer to 70 million & growing hourly.

The D.C. insiders ran with 11 or 12 million for 20+ years. All a lie...Like everything else out of D.C.

I’d guess there are upwards 30-45 million in country now, costing tax payers between 300-400 BILLION, every single year.

Pure propaganda...

This horrendous understatement of the vermin problem is typical of the crap that our communist masters create and force-feed to the serfs...

From a purely economic viewpoint, it is not the illegal that is costing us, it is the welfare to illegals and their children that is costing us.

Lately one of the Little Men (dressed up with jeans, sweatshirt-hoodie pulled over his head, baseball cap, backpack) has taken up residence on a corner in a nearby neighborhood. He sits on a fire hydrant in the early morning, on his cell phone (paid for by who?), perhaps on the lookout for some day labor pickups. More recently I heard a child's voice on the other end of the line as he was on his phone, a little child. Bet he's not here legally. Is his still paying off his coyote? Who hires him?

There is a whole chapter in the book Freakanomics which explains in detail why these little hood rats are willing to work at less than minimum wage pay to act as lookouts, muscle and/or couriers for the narcotics (and other criminal) industry.

Basically, it is for the same reason that waitresses quit steady jobs in places like Webster City, Iowa and move to places like Hollywood-- they think they are going to make it big in what their respective industry has to offer and are willing to do crap jobs for piddling pay as a stepping stone to get there.

Everytime one of them wises up enough to quit, there are at least three more ready to move in and take their places.

Let’s do the math!

163,000,000,000 / 17,000,000 = $9588.23

Chicken feed.

There is something strikingly & egregiously wrong with those figures.

That works out to less than $10k per illegal in benefits, support & cash ‘annually’.

Who currently knows what is happening with the illegals who are recently here? When I was in IL I had a lot of contact with Hispanic illegals there. They were not all the same.

They were in fact very diverse in attitudes, lifestyle, etc.... and I did not know the Chinese very well...just the Indians, Hispanics, Europeans, Canadians.

Now 10 years in GA and I lack the vast info I had in IL.

My observation of the left in media in IL was that they were totally ignorant of reality. Immigrants had to be saints or devils. Not possible that they are ordinary humans.

I see the same in GA...Saints or Devils...only the two extremes in the media. Of course I see many more Chinese/ Koreans in Atlanta and I have no idea of themm. At work there is the lowest percentage of immigrants of anywhere I have worked in the past 65 years.

I supsect that some of what was true 1o years ago is still true. But pobably many thiings are different also.

Who actually, objectively, looks at the humans who are neither saints nor devils NOW ?
