As Tax Day passes on Monday, the cost of illegal immigration to American taxpayers has hit an unprecedented level on President Joe Biden’s watch.

The latest estimates, published by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) last March, show that millions of illegal aliens residing across the United States cost taxpayers more than $150 billion annually.

The FAIR report stated:

At the federal, state, and local levels, taxpayers shell out approximately $182 billion to cover the costs incurred from the presence of more than 15.5 million illegal aliens, and about 5.4 million citizen children of illegal aliens. That amounts to a cost burden of approximately $8,776 per illegal alien/citizen child. The burden of illegal immigration on U.S. taxpayers is both staggering and crippling, with the gross cost per taxpayer at $1,156 every year. [Emphasis added]

Illegal aliens only contribute roughly $32 billion in taxes at the state, local, and federal levels. This means that the net fiscal cost of illegal immigration to taxpayers totals approximately $150.7 billion. [Emphasis added]

150 my &^&. I bet its closer to a trillion. I could be wrong.

[DoughtyOne]

I started haranguing on this issue around 1992. I was told
this was California’s problem. I was told it was our fault.
I was told this wasn’t all that big a deal. I was called
racist, a xenophobe, you name it. After 1998, HERE!
<(not everyone, just some loudmouths, and on some aspects
more than them)>

Well folks, enjoy...

Now you know why I raised the issue.

[high info voter]

And the IRS is going to buckle down on American taxpayers to pay for Biden’s IGNORANCE!! .../sarc

[fwdude]

In the larger cities, illegal alien children compose a huge chuck of public school enrollment, much more than they are represented in the population. That’s many millions per school district.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Have they factored in the cost of illegals using the ER as a primary care provider or the human cost from lives lost to drunk drivers, murderers, and drugs?

[SkyDancer]

And Bidet added a bunch more by forgiving student loan debt.

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah, I was going to post that 150 billion is an extremely low-ball guesstimate. It was 250 billion while OAN still had a channel on DirecTV in April of 2022. A trillion may even be too low.

[Babba Gi]

Maybe, but my lawn looks great!

[Tai_Chung]

These are very big numbers that almost lose meaning.

Here’s what I do to put it in perspective.
I calculate how much I spend on Federal taxes.

How many years of my tax money would it take to cover a single year of illegal aliens?

Another way to calculate it.

How much of the bill would be covered if they used ALL the federal taxes from your state and put it toward illegal aliens?

[Machavelli]

So what about the figure that I heard? That was $454 billion dollars that “ILLEGAL ALIENS” cost our country last year. Don’t sugar coat it, tell it like it is.

I can’t believe the doofuses in Massachusetts decided to rename Tax theft day as “Patriot’s Day”. Those idiots should know better than anybody else that PATRIOT’S DAY is the 19th of April. I see calling Tax day, Patriot’s day, as a mud pie in the face of patriotic Americans. Taxes normally piss off Patriots. Google: The Boston Tea Party.

Republicans had a report, last year that said the cost of, just, the "new arrivals", since Jan 2021, was $450,000,000,000 a year and that was a couple million illegals ago.

Couple that with the 20,000,000 illegals, already here and most on some sort of welfare, then, yeah, $1,000,000,000,000 seems reasonable.

[FlingWingFlyer]

That retard in the White House should be in jail.

[Robert DeLong]

There is a reason we are 34 trillion in debt & now adding a trillion every 100 days. When you add in unfunded liabilities, we are near, if not over, 200 trillion. Total insanity, and without question unsustainable.

This needs to go to court. We need to know if it is Constitutional for political dirtfags to tax the American people to raise money to offer deadbeat foreigners “a better life” in exchange for their votes.

Good conversation starter (and probably ender) with relatives, friends and coworkers.
