Social Housing and Caring for Illegal Immigrants is Costing US Tax Payers $451 Billion per year...

I think Cecil peoples compiled the report..

Did some looking and it might as well have been. A major part of their numbers are taken from FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform). A right wing, anti immigration organization notorious for dubious claims about illegal immigration.

it has been criticized for publishing false information on immigration. In 2017, the right-leaning CATO Institute described a FAIR study on the impact of illegal immigration as “fatally flawed.”"

They've found a far right of a source as they could and basically copied and pasted their arguments into this "report".

Americans could pay up to $451 billion to care for migrants who entered the US illegally, but have been released into the country or escaped from custody, according to a new report due out Monday from House Republicans and obtained exclusively by The Post.

“Every day, millions of American taxpayer dollars are spent on costs directly associated with illegal immigration and the unprecedented crisis at the Southwest border sparked by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ policies,” the House Homeland Security Committee interim staff report states.

“Only a small fraction is ever recouped from the taxes paid by illegal aliens, with the rest falling on the shoulders of American citizens and lawful residents,” it adds.

Compiled from federal and state records, media reports and other public information, the 50-page document outlines the taxpayer costs incurred in medical care, housing, education and other welfare benefits for tens of millions of migrants — to say nothing of the additional costs for law enforcement.

“This report reveals in painstaking detail the dollar costs facing the American people every day that this chaos continues, both in small towns on the border and in big cities like New York,” Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.) told The Pos

Lol at your thread title and the first sentence of the article. Not the same one bit. “Could” is important here.

What exactly do you think is going to happen to decrease the projected expense for illegals who are already here?

I highly doubt it. GOP will say anything to keep this country majority white.

It's all shits and giggles until your country turns into a Somalia or Honduras without electricity and drinking water...

The Polls say otherwise.

I’m not sure but maybe you could make a thread about it. This one is about made up numbers.

If all these illegals were kicked out of the country, do you think it would have a positive or negative effect on the economy?

It's a moot question when "expenses" are incredibly inflated. Nearly every credible research report on the economic impact of migrants have resulted in the outcome of slight net positive in dollars and cents. It also heavily underplays just how much in taxes immigrant pay, or how much they subsidize industries for citizens.

Some pretty obvious bad math in the report:
-Including fentanyl costs cuz clearly that's the fault of immigrants
-Including education costs despite the fact that education is not budgeted out per student
-Pretending that illegal immigrants are a huge user of welfare, despite being ineligible for most programs

Lots of Hispanics identify as white and so will many of their descendants. After all what would you call someone born in America who doesn't speak Spanish and looks like this?

Spoiler

Just like the Irish, Italians, and Jews they will eventually become honorary whites.

I've grown up around Hispanics in Texas and in NY\Boston Dominicans and Puerto Ricans in the east and Mexican\various SA countries in Texas. I've never seen any of them identify as white.

My wife is white and gets confused for asian sometimes and even she identifies as hispanic. She doesn't speak the language and neither do her parents.
