Millions of Illegal Aliens Are Costing Taxpayers Hundreds of Billions. Biden Couldn’t Care Less.

President Joe Biden has transformed America’s southern border into a humanitarian catastrophe and a national security nightmare. This bloody, deadly mess is a clear and present danger to this republic.

But this also is a massive fiscal threat. Biden’s obliteration of the border is evaporating federal, state, and local coffers.

Precise figures on anything illegal are, by definition, elusive. Nonetheless, the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s report, “The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers 2023,” estimates that taxpayers bleed $182.1 billion in annual benefits to illegal aliens. That includes $66.4 billion in federal spending and an additional $115.7 billion in state and local outlays to those who have broken into America.

“No sweat!” illegal-alien apologists argue. “They work hard, pay taxes, and pull their own weight.”

If only.

A fiscal threat that the U.S. cannot sustain.

I think the ~17% in "costs covered" by their taxes is a bit generous.
Most, if not all, are uneducated and cannot get regular jobs working for companies, so they go on the dole and work side hustle type jobs in yard work, house cleaning, selling wares on street corners, etc.
All of that $$ is unreported.
Meantime, they overwhelm schools, clinics, hospitals, etc. causing the taxpayers to pick up the tab.

Correct.  Biden couldn't care less. Let some other municipality or state subsidize this madness.

Keep sending those migrants buses, trains, planes, boats, and zeppelins up North.

The migrants can bankrupt your municipality and your state; or you send the migranst elsewhere to bankrupt other muncipalities and other states.  That's the choice local and state officials are left with.

A one-way bus ticket is a small expense compared to housing, food, medical care, education, etc.
