The illegal alien population has ballooned since Joe Biden took office by one million, bringing the national overall total to 15.5 million at a taxpayer cost of $143.1 billion a year.
Just over the course of Biden’s first year as president the cost to taxpayers for the new one million illegals is $9.4 billion.
“President Biden and the people he appointed to key positions in his administration have pursued the most radical open-borders policies in the history of any sovereign nation, and these new numbers bear that out,” Dan Stein, president of FAIR, said in the announcement of the analysis, “If not for the COVID pandemic, which forced the administration to keep Title 42 in place last year, the additional influx and costs to American taxpayers would have been far greater.”

Someone who is good at math please tell me - could we get free healthcare or at least 50% cheaper healthcare if that $143.1 billion were spent on healthcare for those legally here?
Thanks for the post!
That's bad, no doubt about it, but Congress costs taxpayers 10X as much. They're also responsible for the illegal aliens.
Sorry… it’s WAY OVER 15.5 ILLEGAL ALIENS!
15.5 million is low IMO.
“bringing the national overall total to 15.5 million”
LOL.. try 30 or 40 million. They have been saying 12 million since the 1990s.
I predict that millions of the Illegals will be headed south in a year or two because the standard of living in the USA will be no better or not much better than where they came from.
1 million my @55... I think it’s more like 15 million, and the total is well over 60 million by now.
This is an invasion with perps to all into our country by the most corrupt lawbreaking regime under the faux prez Biden in our history!
Just UNREAL!
YET WE are To wait for the 2022 elections to solve this!
So Damn Stupid!
15.5 million? Maybe when Clinton was president.
The conservative total is currently 40 million. Probably closer to 60 million illegals.
I don’t think Biden is aware of what’s going on at the southern border. He may not even be aware we have a southern border. He just signs whatever documents his handlers tell him to sign.
Exactly and Agree.
We have a mindless fool as a front man to be our leader! It doesn’t get better but only worse in my opinion!
The total is way over 30 million at this point..
Be sure to re-elect Amnesty Senators Hoeven and Rubio..../s
[[Illegal Aliens in U.S. Up 1M Under Biden, Total now 15.5M, Costing Taxpayers $143.1 Billion a Year]]
They cost us WAY more than that- it was estimated- decades ago, that they were costing us between $400 Billion and $600 Billion per year when ALL costs are added up- all direct costs as well as indirect costs (IE when a drunk kills a father of a family, that family ends up having to get therapy, plus they lose their income, or part of their income, and have to pay their lawyers to fight the maggot that killed their husband/father, etc-
That cost today is likely over $1 Trillion dollars per year now- the $143 billion of this article is only for direct costs- the indirect costs however are staggering-
Where’s my new free iPhone and monthly connection of same?
Amen to that. My guess is that there are 10 million in California alone. 15.5 million is absolute nonsense.
Fully agree...
Mexico is a parasite. Mexicans take roughly that same amount out this nations economy and sends it back to Mexico in remittances. Stop that and you'll have $290 billion. Now you could a lot with that. For Americans. Legal ones.
Right? This is amazing underestimate by Breitbart.
