The southern border crisis costs American taxpayers around $451 billion per year for services provided to a record number of illegal aliens under the Biden administration, according to one estimate a Republican-led investigation cites.
In a 49-page report released Monday, the House Committee on Homeland Security found that nearly half a trillion dollars is being lost in the healthcare, law enforcement, education, housing, and other sectors due to an influx of illegal immigration in the past two years. The $451 billion figure takes into account the millions of illegal migrants released by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s Department of Homeland Security, as well as 1.7 million so-called gotaways, the Center for Immigration Studies revealed in May.
“Every day, millions of American taxpayer dollars are spent on costs directly associated with illegal immigration and the unprecedented crisis at the Southwest border sparked by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ policies,” the committee staff report states.
“Only a small fraction is ever recouped from the taxes paid by illegal aliens, with the rest falling on the shoulders of American citizens and lawful residents,” it adds. “Mass illegal immigration, accelerated by Mayorkas’ open-borders policies, now represents a massive cost to the federal government and state governments alike, as well as the pocketbooks of private citizens and businesses.”

VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT.
OUT !!!
I’m surprised it’s that low.
So about a trillion in two years
Ir it is NOT a “crisis.”
Call it what it really is. It is a Biden-Harris-Mayorkss man-caused invasion and disaster of unprecedented magnitude done intentionally to secure raw Democrat power forever by changing out the electorate.
“I’m surprised it’s that low.”
Me, too. I figured closer to a trillion.
1). Domestic?
2). International?
President Trump only asked for a mere 4-5 billion for the “wall”.
that is just the direct costs- when indirect costs are estimated, the figure swells to likely over a Trillion Dollars now- my profile has estimated figures from decades ago, and even back then, the estimated costs per year were between $400 and $600 billion per year- when all costs were estimated
indirect costs are things like a family losing income because a drunk killed the breadwinner, and caused the family to need grief counseling, and lost time etc- decades later, with many many more illegals here now, I’m sure the number is close to, if not over, 1 Trillion Dollars every single year-
it is closer to or above a TRillion- see my post above-
There was an interview where the liberal newscaster whined it would cost $88 billion a year to send them back.
Let me get my checkbook.
“President Trump only asked for a mere 4-5 billion for the “wall”.
That’s what REALLY HACKS me off! Trump said “Mexico would pay for it” and he was mercilessly derided for that. Well, if we are paying $500 billion to $1,000 billion per year, that’s 5 to 10 TRILLION over ten years we will have needlessly spend on these parasite criminals.
The wall would pay for itself 10,000 times over if we kept the parasite criminal invaders from walking into the USA and demanding everything under the sun. Sure Mexico would not write us a check, but we would save that money by not treating the parasites like royalty.
This is so obvious to any sentient, honest citizen.
