The US illegal alien population has hit nearly 17 million, an increase of more than two million since President Joe Biden began implementing his Catch and Release network at the United StatesMexico border.
This according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) who just released its annual report estimating the size of the illegal alien population residing in the United States.
Remember according to Part Time Joe ( and Harry Lime) our Southern border is NOT OPEN
Which is correct. It is not "open" any more than it was under Bush or Trump. The fact that UNFAIR describes them as illegal makes the case. If Biden had an "Open Border " policy, they would be legal. What they are is people who have gotten into the country despite our not having open borders. As they have under Trump and Bushes and Reagan.
It gets worse.
The unprecedented rate of influx of new illegal aliens over the past year would add $12.6 billion annually to the costs of illegal immigration, bringing the cumulative net cost to at least $163 billion a year. At the current pace of illegal immigration, the annual net cost will exceed $200 billion by 2026.
Harry Lime said the cost to us taxpayers was zero.
Liar. I never.said that. I said that undocumented aliens are not able to receive government benefits.like welfare, in response to one of luee's moronic beats. With yoir usual stunning intelle tual dishonesty, you pretended i responded with an irrelevant argument, likely because you know I was right.
UNFAIR has a history of downplaying and outright ignoring the economic benefit of immigration. There is no reason to believe they are still not.doing that.
