Here’s a taste of what Biden’s open-border policies cost local taxpayers across America

How much are President Joe Biden’s open-border policies costing taxpayers? What sort of impact is the addition of millions of people who can’t legally work, mostly don’t pay taxes and need food, shelter and education having on our communities?

Democrats are trying to hide the answers to these questions, to keep secret the true price of Biden’s ineptitude.

Consider just one cost. Mayor Eric Adams has set up four “emergency shelters” in New York City hotels — the Stewart, the Row, the Wolcott and the Watson. Whistleblower Row employee Felipe Rodriguez revealed to The Post that the city is spending $400-$500 a night on rooms there.

The mayor won’t reveal the confirmed cost to us, but some rough estimates reveal the ballpark pricetag.

These hotels have 2,745 rooms. As The Post reported last week, all four are turning away migrants, saying every room is full.

So that’s costing New York City an estimated $1 million-$1.37 million a day. That’s $365 million-$500 million a year.

We only know this much because of Rodriguez’s bravery. We don’t know the cost of food, or for schools or for social services.

While not revealing specifics, Adams has requested $1 billion from the feds. They’ve given him a whopping $8 million.

So the Biden strategy is: Every city and state for themselves. As The Post has reported, the administration is flying illegal immigrants into random small airports and leaving shocked local communities to handle them. They leave it to El Paso to bus people to Chicago, while Colorado gets them a ticket to New York.

“Either way, taxpayers will shoulder the burden. But by stiffing local states and cities, Biden hides the real cost, and forces certain groups — including New York City taxpayers — to unfairly pay more.

It’s a cynical coverup. Mayor Adams should come clean with exactly what this is costing, and the new Republican House must demand answers from the president.”

Biden's ineptitude? Geeze Louise....this is deliberate,a basic piece of Rat Party Headquarters’ “fundamental transformation” of the country!!!

[neodad]

Hopefully they can save money by making them eat the free breakfasts at least…..

[asinclair]

So, the money that New York is spending on illegal immigrants is AFTER spending money to take care of all the homeless.

Anyone here remember the book "Subways Are For Sleeping" (1957)?

Governors shipping alien invaders to progressive states will collapse the idiot deep state.

Open borders have cost American tax payers hundreds of billions over the past few decades...Much of that in medical, legal, not to mention they choke off our schools, jails, hospitals, jobs and social services meant for American citizens, etc.

All produced and directed by professional politician globalists, who have no need for a free, independent country and seek to destroy it.

[Candor7]

Biden and his collection of commie thugs are waging war on America. They seek to destroy, bankrupt and demographically invade America.

Biden is completing the Saul D Alinsky plan for the communization of America, started by Obama.

You will own nothing.

You will not travel anywhere

You will be happy

Why can’t Christian Canadian refugee get the same goodies package as LatinX border crossers?

[nascarnation]

There’s little reason to provide incentives.
40% of the country heads to the southern US every winter already.

[fella]

I personal know several Canadians who have fled to the U.S. because of religious persecution. The full force of immigration laws is used on them with no priveledges or protections offered.

It is a growing problem.

"Whistleblower Row employee Felipe Rodriguez revealed to The Post that the city is spending $400-$500 a night on rooms there."

What? No, surely that is meant to read "$400-$500 on each room every night".
