There are many issues that are destroying this country. Illegal immigration is at or near the top. A nation without borders is not a nation.

People wouldn't allow strangers (w/o ID no less) to walk into their home and stay, eat their food, etc. Why do so many put up with this at the local and state level, continuously voting in politician's who do nothing?

These figures will NEVER account for what this mess is doing to medicaid and social security.

Wait and watch..... every 2 years we hear political fearmongering about “cuts” to social security but you have not seen anything yet. Just wait until millions of people, yes, it will be millions, begin to draw disability after paying in the same amount the average teenager used to pay in working fast food jobs for a few years.

No journalists ask politicians of either party about this. None. It’s never even discussed.

“Each illegal alien or U.S.-born child of illegal aliens costs the U.S. $8,776 annually.”


Each child enrolled in a public school costs more $8776 per year, in some cases nearly 3 times as much.

I think this is a vast, vast underestimation.

At least 10,000,000 have come in the last 2 years and only $8-9,000 per illegal?

Free cellphones, travel, medical, welfare, legal help, costs to the criminal justice system and victims of their crimes, special tutors and interperters for children at school, etc.

Mutiply FAIR's estimate by 10 and you might be getting close and that's just the newbies, not counting the 20,000,000+ already here.

Thank you for referencing that article reside.

"The [Unconstitutional] Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration Undocumented Democrats on United States Taxpayers - 2023 Cost Study (150.7 Billion)"


There! Fixed it.

If Congress and Biden argue that this federal spending for this purpose is foreign aid, then there is a major constitutional problem with that.

If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same lawmakers to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.

Patriots need to be prepared for 2024 primaries.

The real cost of illegal immigration: loss of the nation.

No dollar amount high enough

These numbers are BS. Two decades ago everyone was referring to the “11 million” number. Today’s numbers are closer to 50 million.

The study is extremely misleading in its conclusion. It does not cost each taxpayer $1167. First off the bottom 50% of taxpayers pay virtually nothing so it doesn’t cost them anything so there is no financial downside to them continuing to vote Democrat. Secondly the remaining 50% don’t bear the burden equally. The top5% pay 62% of the taxes so they pay $70,000,000,000. There are 7874000 of them so they pay on average $8870 each. The remaining 95% of taxpayers pay on average $46 billion/75,000,000 taxpayers (top 50%) or about $612 per tax filer. Not nothing but a lot less than the $1100 claimed. This can be broken down further by googling who pays what taxes, but spread costs by total tax filers is always misleading.

In the late 60’s & early 70’s, the accepted & UNCHALLENGED number of illegals in the USA was 20 MILLION.

There are costs that can’t be calculated, only surmised. Wages for Americans driven down, causing less tax revenue. Jobs taken from Americans. The remittances sent to their home countries. Multiple fraudulent welfare cases.

"And the cost of deporting the lot is ?

At some, breaking, point...mass deportation will have to be done. The present course is simply not sustainable (to say nothing of rule of law/order/sovereignty/simple fairness, etc)

It will take numerous politicians with spines made of titanium.

For starters, any and all taxpayer funded government programs going to illegal aliens should be shut down completely. Followed by massive, increasing fines to employers who hire illegal aliens.

Give the illegals every incentive to go back to their home countries on their own. Self-deportation if you will. And, if they need a little "help," government provided relocation assistance could be done to.

Then lastly, any that remained somehow without gov't money or a job, would have to be just rounded up and sent home.

It would be an ugly scene for the soccer mom's and fence sitter types out there...but that's just too bad.

This free for all-free everything-zero consequences madness can't go on indefinitely.

I didn’t realize that there was a rule that my comment could only be on the deportation of illegals. It was an analysis of the financial numbers given in the article. However, if you consider that the deporting of illegals won’t occur without the political will of the electorate AND that about 50% of the electorate is Democrat most likely the half that doesn’t pay any taxes then you can correlate the lack of political will to deport with the lack of fiscal engagement by the half that doesn’t pay taxes, and in many cases actually get money from the rest of us.
