After Fiscal Year 2023 saw record numbers of illegal alien encounters at the southwest border, a new report shows that the crisis is costing American taxpayers around $451 billion per year.
A new report released by the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security revealed the staggering amount taxpayers lose to funding illegal aliens’ healthcare, education, and housing. Additionally, with the influx of illegal alien encounters, taxpayers are left to bear the brunt of costly extra law enforcement.
The report takes into account the millions of illegal aliens released by U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as well as the 1.7 million “gotaways” that escaped federal custody.
