So riddle me this?

I’m supposed to take as gospel some inflated currency amount regarding illegals in a foreign country, by another foreigner named “Seung Min Kim” in said foreign country?

This is propaganda, not serious research. Bogus assumptions multiplied by wild guesses.

Yes, law enforcement and defense...those peripheral obligations of the Feds.

In fiscal year 2014, the federal government spent $76 billion on SNAP. About 92 percent went directly to benefits that households used to purchase food.

And how much more are we spending on education, health care, etc. for these illegals? Looks like we will EASILY cover the cost plus save untold billions after just a couple years.

The media is stupid. He’s reeling them in. He’s going to hit them in the head with the cost of keeping them here.

For example - Say you wanted to provide public school education for 30,000,000 for one year. Cost is about $5,000, on the VERY, VERY conservative side.

That ALONE is $150,000,000,000. Just public school for a year. This assumes the number of immigrants isn’t closer to 50,000,000. It assumes a screaming low yearly cost for public education.

Real cost of the invasion - trillions.

The wall is too cheap to meter by comparison.

CBO cost out a similar plan in Congress at 23 billion. Personally I don’t give two craps what it cost. A nation can not stand without borders and the enforcement of law s passed by its citizens.

Bwahaha—”experts at groups spanning the political spectrum”!

They’ve got the Leftist CAP; The UN, Carnegie and Ford Foundations-funded MPI; the open-borders, libertarian Cato Institute; the Jeb Bush-is-on-the-leadership-committee AAN; and the NIF that “advocates for the value of immigrants and immigration to our nation”.

Every single group is a pro-amnesty and illegal immigration shill.

I think they are wrong. I did the math and it came out to $162,324,677,385.05, give or take a few billion.

Now, don’t criticize me. I just used the same formula that they leftists did to reach $166 Billion. Interestingly, neither of us know what that formula is.

We both made it up out of our butts.
At least I’m honest enough to say so.

Whenever a Democrat says that they have a formula, model, or plan, run for the hills because you know that they are either lying, creating things on the run, or have no idea what they are talking about. In the end, it only is going to spell trouble for you and me.

As I posted in #67, every single group that fed into this estimate is pro-illegals with an ax to grind against someone like Trump.

A completely bogus number—though it would be a bargain if it were that high.

My thoughts exactly.

We are at the point that it is time to say:

Give me liberty or give me death.

166 billion a year is about what we spend as a result of the illegal invasion?

It’s easily worth a trillion dollars to cleanse the nation of the invaders.

Great information. It’s probably at least 3-4 times that with actuals (population vs. 12M) and costs so that’s ~$452B per year.

Based on Heritage $452B/year x 20years= $9T

My WAG 100 x $166B= $16.6T

At least I’m in the same order of magnitude.

“If those buzzards don’t leave, how much does it cost for U.S. Marines, with bayonets, to defend their country?”

I’m not sure how much it would cost to have the Marines do the deporting, but the report said it would cost $12,500 to deport each illegal. I am absolutely certain there are thousands of us who would be more than willing to babysit a handcuffed illegal to the border if we get paid something even close to that amount.

Obama was correct in saying he’s creating jobs. First he paid private airline companies to fly the illegals deeper into the country, and now someone’s gonna get rich escorting the same illegals back to the border.

Stop free benefits of any sort to these illegal alien invaders and many will leave of their own volition. The rest should be found, arrested, have their assets seized and deported. If they illegally come back to the country, they should be shot. Problem solved...and it won’t cost $166 billion (even though $166 billion would be a great investment in this country).
