Letter to the Editor: $451 billion a year
Citing research from the Center for Immigration Studies, it costs the American taxpayers $451 billion a year to care for the illegals in the US. Namely for: health care, law enforcement, education, welfare, housing, care of unaccompanied children, transportation and damage to private property. The spending is equivalent to $1,367 per year for every American man, woman, child and retiree.
What is going to happen when thousands of illegals are dropped off in our small towns in the middle of the night? Our towns, already struggling, will have to absorb them. Taxpayers will foot the bill. Feeding them. Housing them. Providing medical care for them. Educating them: new schools, new teachers and interpreters. Our taxes will skyrocket. Right now, every town in the US is considered a border town. Towns everywhere are going broke because of the unsustainable costs from illegals forced upon the American taxpayers. We are not immune from this Biden-made disaster. It’s just a matter of time until the invasion arrives on our doorstep.
These are not all good people. 294 illegals on the terrorist watch list were caught entering our country since 2021. In 2023, CBP arrested 35,433 illegals with criminal convictions and seized enough Fentanyl to kill 6 billion people. Vicious Venezuelan gangs are terrorizing NYC residents.
Illegals entering Arizona were given $5,000 Visa gift cards by Biden’s CBP. They were also handed cellphones and plane tickets to a destination of their choice. In Chicago, illegals are getting $9,000/month in freebies. NYC will give illegals $53 million in prepaid debit cards. Illinois pledges $250 million for the illegals. Denver taxpayers, on the hook for $180 million, are now having their city services cut.
How does this Biden-created nightmare end? In the November election, we the people, will have the opportunity to put homeless veterans living on the streets and families struggling to keep a roof over their heads, first. We know who that candidate is, Donald J. Trump, with his America First policies, who promises the largest deportation of illegals in American history.
