Illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers $151 billion a year, a 30 percent increase in five years, according to “The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers 2023” by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR.)
It concluded that American taxpayers pay around $182 billion each year for services and benefits to illegal immigrants, even though the costs are offset by about $31 billion in taxes collected from what they estimate are 15.5 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.
The report comes as the southern border is being overrun. More than 1.7 million illegals in 2021 and another 2.3 million in 2022, with this year eclipsing those previous years, even though the Biden administration claims those numbers have dropped after changing how they account for illegals statistically.
