Elon Musk Department Says Illegal Immigration Costs Taxpayers $150.7 Billion
Story by Hugh Cameron • 1d


The U.S Government is spending over two percent of its entire budget on illegal immigration, according to Elon Musk's new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

"In 2023 alone, illegal immigration cost taxpayers $150.7 billion," the DOGE account posted to X on Tuesday.

Shortly after his victory in the 2024 election, President-elect Donald Trump appointed the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, alongside fellow billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, to lead the newly established department dedicated to reducing unnecessary government bureaucracy and curbing wasteful spending.
 
The DOGE X account, which frequently shares other examples of apparently reckless government spending, provided inflation-adjusted comparisons with other major undertakings, such as the atomic bomb Manhattan Project ($30 billion), and the cost of constructing the Hoover Dam ($1 billion).

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
