| $1,156 per taxpayer-Illegal Aliens Cost Because Washington Is Gutless |
| 2023-03-10 |
| [WashingtonExaminer] Taxpayers spend at least $182 billion a year on illegal immigration, the cost of providing services to an estimated $15.5 million immigrants. The bottom line for each taxpayer is a bill of $1,156, according to a new tally from the Federation for American Immigration Reform. “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,” said a new report from FAIR shared with Secrets. “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,” it said. Just five years ago, when FAIR did a similar report, the net cost was $116 billion. “As America struggles to meet countless societal needs while facing the realities of our staggering $31 trillion national debt, the costs of providing for millions of people who have no legal right to be in the United States continues to grow at an alarming rate,” said Dan Stein, president of FAIR, in a statement. “Not only is the Biden administration refusing to rein in illegal immigration or remove the people who are breaking our laws, they are promulgating policies that actually encourage more of it while offering new protections and benefits to those who settle here illegally. Likewise, a growing number of states and localities create their own costly magnets for illegal aliens by declaring themselves sanctuaries and offering new benefits and services. This has to stop,” he added. |
