George Soros has 23 billion. That would make a good start.

Understated. The costs are much higher.

If my math is right, this would cost about $1,000 per taxpayer per year. We all know it is probably much more. My household could surely use the extra money.

But, but, that $135 billion (per year) is such a small price to pay for the luxury of diversity, not to mention that it can go a long way in proving that we are not racist. For, as old “W” said at Gerald Ford’s memorial, racism is the worst possible thing. Those 100 million slaughtered last century by communist dictators is as nothing compared to the accusation of racism.

While illegal aliens bleed us dry, our politicians are only concerned with helping them do it.

Thom Tillis is introducing a new amnesty bill

From his website: ALERT: Tillis Introduces Bill Addressing Legal Status of Undocumented Children

I would urge all to contact him, as I did today:

All these years we’ve been told how illegals helped the economy, were a net gain.

Been a lie. The American taxpayers foot the bill while those who use illegal labor gained. This is the kinda stuff that just torque me inside and out.

I’m tired of hearing about illegals. Boot them & wall them out!
And I’m tired of reading about muslims. Stop bringing them in!
And, the NFL’s 15 minutes are up. Ignore them until they go broke.
MAGA!

The formula to figure out the actual cost, A and where u=the liberal underestimation factor (set as .2307) of all government expenses: $135B / u = A or 135 / .2307 = $585 Billion which coincidentally is the same amount as the Federal Deficit last year.

You know the old saying: Privatize the profits, socialize the costs.
