Illegal immigration cost American taxpayers a whopping 2.6 percent of the entire U.S. government's $6.1 trillion in federal spending for the entire 2023 fiscal year.
This amounts to $150.7 billion, according to Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
If the figure is correct, the staggering sum of money going toward illegal immigrants entering and living in the U.S. would rival spending across some other agencies.

It’s an industry.
Well that’s 15% of the $1T DOGE is tasked to cut right there!
most of it gets sent to the Illegals home countries , you could say it’s the democrats new forum of Aid or just out right redistribution of wealth ,LOL
Its why America must eliminate the Federal Reserve and return to a gold-backed currency.
Printed, fiat money and the massive government debt it allows are THE foundation of all big government corruption and woke, social-engineering schemes.
Sounds a little light to me.
That is merely the monetary cost.
“It’s an industry.”
Yes. Illegals serviced by NGOs run by friends in office that fund the NGOs.
That is one astronomically expensive election interference failure that the victims of are stuck with so the joke is on us.
“Sounds a little light to me.”
Only one entry on the ledger. Does not include city, county or state funding nor indirect costs to society.

To your point, when I was a nipper a first-class stamp cost 3¢. Thing is, it had cost 3¢ for more than half a century before. A Snickers bar cost a nickel. And, of course, four 90% silver quarters were worth a dollar.
Today, a first-class stamp costs 73¢, 24x more. don’t know about the Snickers bar since I haven’t bought one lately, and the four quarters are worth $22.46. I guess the lesson is that a politician cannot create silver or gold by just wishing it so, but turning on the printing press just takes a phone call.
“return to a gold-backed currency.”
Not economically possible.
“...$150.7 billion...”
That would go a LONG way in rebuilding all the hurricane-destroyed homes in NC, SC, GA, TN and KY.
Care to explain? It is indeed absolutely possible, and necessary.
Otherwise the US will simply carry-on the path of devaluation, money-printing, inflation, debt and protection of the interests of bloated government and its cronies.

Staggering sum U.S. taxpayers spend on illegal immigration every year.
Indeed how many that have been here for years are taking buses to Mexico and cross back on foot and say the are a new entry for the all the perks the feds dish out?.
Repeat and often
“2.6 percent of the entire U.S. government’s $6.1 trillion in federal spending”
“according to Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).”
The Department isn’t even set up and operating under the new administration but has still put out that number! Wow.
Victor Hanson frequently says $60 billion is sent to home countries every year. That’s 40% of the $150 billion DOGE estimate.
Running the machine out of fuel will only stop it running; it won’t fix it.
Repeal the 17th Amendment: eradicate populism from the US Senate to restore Congress to a bicameral body that balances the concerns of the States with those of the People.
Overturn Helvering v. Davis (1937) to restore the original meaning of the General Welfare Clause, thus n
returning the focus of Congress to the welfare of the federal edifice itself; not to that of every individual citizen.
Overturn Wickard v. Filburn (1942) to restore the original meaning of the Interstate Commerce Clause, thus firewalling all commerce within the several States from the least iota of Congressional involvement.
Undo The Banal Trifecta, the frightful impact of which was largely masked by the wartime explosion of Federal activity, and only identified decades later when, long after the war’s end, FedGiv not only hadn’t begun to shrink back to its 1930’s dimensions, but had kept ballooning even more with no end in sight.
Undo The Banal Trifecta, and put Congress back on its original Constituional Foundation, with the Constitutional bounds of its scope and powers thoroughly revitalized and freshly reaffirmed.
