Shocking Cost of the Illegal Immigration Crisis to Americans

As record numbers of illegal aliens continue to flood across our southern border, they are being dispersed into every congressional district in the country, making every state a border state. We’re told they’re merely coming to seek a better life. And while that’s true for many, why do open-borders advocates ignore the enormous toll on Americans that comes in the form of higher taxes, overloaded emergency rooms, increased crime in their communities, and overcrowded classrooms for their children?

This is the first in a series of articles covering the heavy financial and human toll that illegal immigration is taking on the states and their citizens.

Annually, illegal immigration now costs taxpayers billions of dollars a year.
For instance, in states far away from the southern border like Illinois, that cost was $4.59 billion in 2022. That’s $930 per household. Every year.

The far-reaching effects of the influx through our southern border are clear. Our communities bear the costs of illegal immigration caused by the Biden administration’s anti-enforcement and open border policies.

Border communities have long been overwhelmed under these policies.
The crisis now costs California $21.76 billion and Texas $8.88 billion annually in education, health care, law enforcement and criminal justice system costs, welfare expenditures, and more. Border states are often the subject of shocking reports of epidemics of violent attacks, taxpayers footing the bill for illegal aliens’ health care costs, and increased property destruction.

However, there is more to the story. Considering the droves of illegal aliens the government is settling throughout the country and the sheer number already in the interior of the U.S.—an estimated 15.5 million in 2021—let’s consider a few examples of the specific, ever-increasing costs to communities and states all across the nation.

At a rate of $65,116 per alien, New York City Mayor Eric Adams estimates his city will need to spend $2.8 billion in the next fiscal year to deal with the rapid influx.

In 2023, New Jersey will spend $15 million just to provide health care benefits to illegal alien children.

As of September 2022, Operation Lone Star—a statewide effort by Texas to decrease illegal crossings and crack down on human and drug trafficking—had cost Texas over $4 billion. That averages about $2.5 million per week.

It's a shame to see nobody being held accountable. It further proves to me, even the Republicans in office don't want to do their jobs.

Interesting, no mention of this incident on local or national news this evening.

Maybe they should seek a better life legally. The longer this goes on, the less empathy I have.

It's not as bad but there have been deaths. They tend to freeze to death https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-p...-close-calls-along-the-canada-u-s-border

I don't give a rats azz what they think of themselves. F-em! I blame each and every one of the illegal invaders.

Lemme guess...you've never traveled outside of a three county area.

I have often wondered what kind of impact this has on residential, commercial and land real estate sales all along the border, what other things in a legal persons life or business does it effect?

Glad I’m not the only one, I have zero GIS’s about them or their health.

Well, there’s abunch that won’t be tearing my cabin up. Sorry, not sorry.

yessir.

ZFG…they knew the risks. Should have stayed home.

Exactly 👍🏼

That's when they announce "mission accomplished!" and have a parade.

Irrelevant, but I’ll bet he has and it was legal.

The hell with them. They get what they get. I’m tired of it and so are many others.

Exactly GUTIT, I’ve traveled all 48 states haven’t been to Hawaii or Alaska, I got ZFG for these invading SOB’s. I’m sick of having my chit tore up by the bastards.

For the record...I served 5 years overseas. I just didn't feel the need to answer such a dumbazzed comment.
