The Exorbitant Costs of Illegal
Immigration for American Taxpayers



By Frosty Wooldridge

Today, in America, you, the American taxpayer fund enormous amounts of financial fraud, $19 billion, being carried out by thousands of Somalian immigrants in Minnesota; Lewiston, Maine; Detroit, Michigan; Patterson, New Jersey; Dallas, Texas; and L.A.,California. Plus, many other states. You pay billions for 200,000 “anchor babies” annually, that take your money for 18 years for their education, Section 8 Housing, food, medical, transport and books.

You pay billions for illegal slush funds like U.S. AIDE that give out your money around the world to corrupt enterprises. You pay millions for higher insurance rates for illegal aliens driving cars without insurance. You pay billions for illegal alien criminals sitting in our jails at “Three Hot Meals and a Bunk Daily” for years and years. You pay billions in higher prices for mercantile goods because of shoplifting nationwide as they steal $45 billion annually.

You pay for higher taxes for unemployment compensation of our citizens when illegal aliens take jobs from America’s youth, and America’s middle class.

Illegal aliens cost billions of dollars in “Sanctuary States and Cities” that house, feed and care for the estimated 25,000,000 (million) illegal aliens in America. How do experts derive that estimate? Before Biden’s open borders for four years, the accepted number for illegal aliens stood at 11,000,000. Experts tabulated Biden allowed somewhere between 12 and 15 million across America’s southern border. The U.S. Border Patrol estimated that 3 to 4 million “got-aways” crossed without being detected along the 2,152 mile border with Mexico. All totaled, no less than 25 million illegals now roam across America.

They drive up housing costs. They drive up unemployment costs. They drive up medical cost. They drive up insurance rates. They drive up educational costs for every taxpayer.

Is it any wonder America stands eyeball deep in national debt at $40 trillion?

“The net annual cost of illegal immigration to American taxpayers is estimated at $150.7 billion according to reports from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (Source: www.FAIRus.org) and cited by the U.S. House Budget Committee.”

What boggles a reasonable American taxpayer’s mind stems from the fact that our own elected governors, mayors and city councils in over a dozen states across America aid, abet and support illegal aliens with “Sanctuary” states and cities. They vote to screw their American constituents out of taxpayer money. Worse, it’s against Federal Law: U.S. Code 8, Sections 1324, 1325, 1326. You cannot house, transport or hire a person within the United States without official papers of acceptance. Such documents as H-1b, H-2A visas. Fines range from $2,000.00 per illegal hired, housed or transported, and up to five years in prison.

More mystifying: regular citizens, along with Antifa terror groups, demonstrate and cause violence against I.C.E. officers trying to rid America of illegal aliens. Some lawmakers, governors, and mayors openly defy Federal Officers doing their jobs to arrest thousands of criminal illegal aliens who have robbed, raped, burglarized, and killed Americans.

Out of that 25 million, only 600,000 illegal criminals have been deported or placed in jails to serve their terms—during Trumps 18 months in office.

Cost Breakdown

  • Gross Expenditures: Total costs for public services, education, medical care, and law enforcement reach approximately $182 billion annually.
  • Per-Taxpayer Impact: This amounts to a net cost of about $1,156 per year for every U.S. taxpayer, or roughly $8,776 annually per individual living in the country without legal status (including dependents).

That’s the kind of money you pay out for illegal immigration. If you’re one of the unlucky ones, you’ve lost a loved one to an illegal alien drunk driver, or killer, or rapist.

Major Expense Categories

Exact national totals for undocumented K-12 students enrolled in U.S. public schools run from 600,000 to 800,000.

  • K-12 Education: Public schooling for children of unauthorized immigrants accounts for roughly $70 billion a year at state and local levels.
  • Medical Care: Uncompensated and emergency medical care, including Medicaid emergency services, costs upwards of $22 billion annually.
  • Public Services & Welfare: Expenses include law enforcement, the court and prison systems, and means-tested welfare or nutrition programs utilized by eligible household members.

Unemployment in America runs at 4.1 percent. Those jobs that illegals take need to be available to hardworking Americans at a living wage.

Additionally, Congress imports 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants annually, and you pay billions in welfare to support them and their families.

So you see, each day you go to work, each day you pay your taxes, each day you are honest, and each day you are patriotic to America—-you are being screwed by your own elected leaders in your state, and in Washington DC.

We really DO NEED to vote out the old huckers like Pelosi, Omar, Schumer, Johnson, Waters, Tlaib, Mamdani, Ellison, and dozens of others. We really DO NEED to vote for “Term Limits” to stop the “Good ole boy” network of career-criminals in DC.

Because if we don’t, you get to keep paying your taxes for illegal aliens, and you get to pay $3 billion DAILY for interest on our $40 trillion national debt.
