ANARCHIC FISCAL BURDEN: American taxpayers spent $150B last year to fund Biden’s illegal immigrants


READ HERE: President Joe Biden’s immigration policies are immensely accommodating to undocumented immigrants in the United States but they make American taxpayers shoulder hundreds of billions of dollars in government services just to support these illegals.

According to the non-profit Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), taxpayers have shelled out some $150 billion to accommodate the 20 million illegal migrants that have come into the country in the last year. Only a small fraction of these costs are recouped from the taxes these migrants pay. Worse, these illegal aliens actually receive a net cash profit through refundable tax credit programs.

FAIR got the said figure by subtracting the tax revenue the illegals paid, which was just under $32 billion, from the gross negative economic impact of illegal immigration, $182 billion. In 2017, the estimated net cost of illegal migration was approximately $116 billion and in just five years, it has increased by nearly $35 billion.

As per the report, illegal immigration costs each American taxpayer $1,156 per year, or $957 after factoring in what is recovered. Each undocumented migrant or his/her U.S.-born child costs $8,776 annually. A large percentage of the illegals who work in the underground economy frequently avoid paying any income tax at all.

Last week, Republicans filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request demanding Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey release a full migrant budget. They claimed that there’s a $1 billion hole in state coffers and alleged that the true cost has been hidden from the public.
