The cost of illegal immigration - sm Posted: Dec 9th, 2024 - 8:19 am In Reply to: Absolutely, including ours - Obama & Biden deported
“It is estimated that illegal immigrants receive $42 billion in benefits, or about 4 percent of the total cost of the cash, Medicaid, food and housing programs. In addition to welfare, illegal immigration makes significant use of public education. Based on average costs per student, the estimated 4 million children of illegal immigrants in public schools created $68.1 billion in costs in 2019. The vast majority of these children are U.S.-born. Use of emergency medical services is another area in which illegal immigrants create significant fiscal costs. Prior research indicates that there are 5.8 million uninsured illegal immigrants in the country in 2019, accounting for a little over one-fifth of the total population without health insurance. The costs of providing care to them likely totals some $7 billion annually. New York City expects to spend $12 billion over the next three years on housing, food, health care and other services for recently arrived illegal immigrants. Their tax contributions do not cover their consumption of public services.”
