Already, taxpayers are forced to subsidize about $18.5 billion of yearly medical costs for illegal aliens living in the U.S., according to estimates by Chris Conover, formerly of the Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research at Duke University.

Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant
Welfare
More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.
The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.
Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by native-born Americans use welfare in California.
All four states with the largest foreign-born populations, including California, have extremely high use of welfare by immigrant households. In Texas, for example, nearly 70 percent of households headed by immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare. Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of native-born households in Texas are on welfare.
In New York and Florida, a majority of households headed by immigrants and noncitizens are on welfare. Overall, about 63 percent of immigrant households use welfare while only 35 percent of native-born households use welfare.
President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.
The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.
As Breitbart News reported, the majority of the more than 1.5 million foreign nationals entering the country every year use about 57 percent more food stamps than the average native-born American household. Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44 million foreign-born population translates to the average immigrant household costing American taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare.

Study: Amnesty Will Cost ‘Hundreds of Billions’
President Joe Biden’s amnesty plan will spike Social Security spending by “hundreds of billions” over the next few decades, according to a forecast by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
The February 22 report, titled “Amnesty Would Cost the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds Hundreds of Billions of Dollars,” says:
The new taxes paid by the average amnesty recipient amount to only half of the $94,500 noted above. The net effect of amnesty is therefore $140,330 [in Social Security benefits] minus $47,250 [in paid taxes], which is about $93,000 per recipient. In any large-scale amnesty, in which millions of illegal immigrants gain legal status, it is easy to see how the net cost could reach into the hundreds of billions of dollars.
The predicted $93,000 per person cost would be a financial burden for taxpayers — but would be a giveaway to business groups because the Social Security payments will be converted into purchases of consumer products, healthcare services, medical drugs, apartments, and food.
At least 11 million people — perhaps 20 million — are living illegally in the United States. The number rises as people overstay their visas, evade deportation orders, or sneak over the border — but it also falls as some migrants get deported, leave, or find ways to get green cards via the rolling “Adjustment of Status” process.
But taxpayers’ expenses are also economic gains for business groups and investors. In January 2020, a coalition of business groups sued deputies for President Donald Trump after he reduced the inflow of poor migrants into the U.S. consumer market, saying:
Because [green-card applicants] will receive fewer public benefits under the Rule, they will cut back their consumption of goods and services, depressing demand throughout the economy …
The New American Economy Research Fund calculates that, on top of the $48 billion in income that is earned by individuals who will be affected by the Rule—and that will likely be removed from the U.S. economy—the Rule will cause an indirect economic loss of more than $33.9 billion … Indeed, the Fiscal Policy Institute has estimated that the decrease in SNAP and Medicaid enrollment under the Rule could, by itself, lead to economic ripple effects of anywhere between $14.5 and $33.8 billion, with between approximately 100,000 and 230,000 jobs lost … Health centers alone would be forced to drop as many as 6,100 full-time medical staff.
CIS promised a more detailed report:
This is just a rough estimate. We are currently working on a detailed model that will provide more precise costs for both Social Security and Medicare. Again, however, any reasonable calculation will produce a large cost, simply because amnesty will convert so many outside contributors into actual beneficiaries.
For years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deep and broad opposition to labor migration and to the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.
The multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, intra-Democratic, and solidarity-themed opposition to labor migration coexists with generally favorable personal feelings toward legal immigrants and toward immigration in theory — despite the media magnification of many skewed polls and articles that still push the 1950’s corporate “Nation of Immigrants” claim.
The deep public opposition is built on the widespread recognition that migration moves money from employees to employers, from families to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to real estate investors, and from the central states to the coastal states.
However, Biden’s officials have been broadcasting their desire to change border policies to help extract more migrants from Central America for the U.S. economy. On February 19, for example, deputies of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas posted a tweet offering support to migrants illegally working in the United States and to migrants who may wish to live in the United States.
We'll get 1 million-plus Biden migrants this year, warns ex-Obama/DHS official now at Harvard.
The warning includes a weak criticism of the ethnic lobbies & open-borders progressives who are undermining an Ivy League giveaway in the amnesty bill.#H1B https://t.co/RqZBEGcxKO

Biden’s HHS Nominee Does Not Rule Out Taxpayer-Funded Healthcare for Illegal Aliens
President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, dodged a question on whether he would push to provide American taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits to illegal aliens.
This week, during a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Becerra was asked by Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) about his previous support for decriminalizing illegal immigration and providing illegal aliens with taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits.
Becerra, though, dodged the question by saying he would follow the parameters of the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, which he said allows “very rare” cases of illegal aliens to receive benefits.
The exchange went as follows:
DAINES: You’re on record for pushing for allowing illegal immigrants to receive taxpayer-funded healthcare and for decriminalizing illegal entry into the United States. This coupled with President Biden’s radical plan for granting citizenship to those who are here illegally would potentially lead to hundreds of thousands, if not potentially millions, more people flooding into our country. [Emphasis added]
As you know, in 2016, California passed a law requiring covered Californians to apply for … waivers to allow illegal immigrants to purchase health insurance in the marketplace. This waiver was withdrawn after President Trump’s election. [Emphasis added]
My question is this: Will you attempt to use the waiver authority contained in the Affordable Care Act to grant healthcare benefits to illegal immigrants? [Emphasis added]
BECERRA: Senator, I can tell you that where the law, as it stands now as I see it, it does not allow those who are unauthorized in this country to receive taxpayer-paid benefits except in very rare circumstances and it will be my job to make sure that we are following and enforcing the law. And I can commit to you that that is what we will do. [Emphasis added]
In a letter to Biden, 11 Senate Republicans and 64 House Republicans asked the president to withdraw Becerra’s nomination to be HHS Secretary, citing his support for taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits for illegal aliens, among other issues.
“Mr. Becerra seeks to decriminalize illegal immigration, which would extend expensive government benefits like Medicaid to anyone who illegally crosses our borders,” the letter states.
A Politico report this week suggested Becerra is eyeing plans to provide illegal aliens with taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits should he lead HHS.
“He’s one of those individuals that had exceedingly deep convictions about the need to cover the undocumented individuals in all of our communities,” former Rep. Charles Gonzalez (D-TX) told Politico of Becerra.
Should Becerra become HHS Secretary, he could let illegal aliens onto Obamacare exchanges while pressuring states to pursue similar policies to those in California. Likewise, Becerra could open Obamacare exchanges to particular subgroups of illegal aliens, like those enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
As Breitbart News reported, forcing taxpayers to provide healthcare to all illegal aliens would cost citizens anywhere between $23 billion to $66 billion every single year — potentially a $660 billion bill for taxpayers every decade, without adjusting for inflation and the increasing number of illegal aliens.
Cost is only the first issue facing taxpayers. Medical experts have admitted providing healthcare to illegal aliens would ensure a never-ending flood of illegal aliens arriving at the southern border with “serious health problems” and local hospitals would have to cover the costs.
Already, taxpayers are forced to subsidize about $18.5 billion of yearly medical costs for illegal aliens living in the U.S., according to estimates by Chris Conover, formerly of the Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research at Duke University.
When U.S. voters were polled by CNN on the issue in July 2019, nearly 6-in-10 said they were opposed to such a policy, including 63 percent of swing voters and 61 percent of self-described “moderates.”

As Border Crisis Mounts, First Lady Boosts Group That Helps Illegals Avoid Arrest
Kansas City's El Centro led by Dem donor, tied to groups pushing CRT
Collin Anderson • October 15, 2021 12:00 pmAs the crisis at the southern border becomes a political liability for her husband, first lady Jill Biden (Ed.D.) promoted a private school run by a Democratic donor that advises illegal immigrants on how to avoid arrest.
Biden visited El Centro Academy in Kansas City, Kan., on Tuesday at the request of Rep. Sharice Davids (D., Kan.), according to El Centro president and CEO Irene Caudillo, who has made political contributions to both Davids and the Biden campaign. El Centro's nonprofit arm dabbles in more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. It has published a series of videos that instruct illegal immigrants on how to avoid arrest from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. One video, for example, advises viewers to ignore ICE agents altogether during an interaction and contact "a member of the community who does have status." Caudillo also worked with the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce to create "safe spaces" for immigrants by prohibiting local cooperation with ICE to "protect residents from deportation."
Biden's visit comes as her husband's administration scrambles to deal with an unprecedented border crisis. The number of illegal crossings at the southern border is at a multi-decade high, with law enforcement expected to report nearly two million migrant encounters in fiscal year 2021. The Biden administration in September announced new rules that limit ICE's ability to arrest and deport illegal immigrants.
First lady Biden, who was joined by Small Business Administration head Isabel Guzman, publicly embraced El Centro as the perfect site for a "charla"—Spanish for "chat"—with Hispanic community members. She thanked the academy "for all you do" in a Tuesday tweet. The White House did not return a request for comment. Caudillo told the Washington Free Beacon she did not discuss immigration with Biden and "shared our El Centro story privately with her."
In addition to Caudillo's illegal immigration advocacy, El Centro has received substantial funding from UnidosUS, a liberal immigration group that has defended teaching critical race theory in K-12 schools, calling the controversial curriculum "a truthful retelling of our nation's history." Caudillo also serves on the board of Revolucion Educativa, an affiliate of the Kansas City, Mo.-based Latinx Education Collaborative that has promoted critical race theory as an "important" framework to include in middle and high schools.
The affiliation could present a political liability for Davids. While the Kansas State Board of Education has contended that critical race theory "is not part of Kansas academic standards," one district in the state scrapped a planned diversity training after local parents argued it included critical race theory teachings.
Davids herself faced criticism in August after she endorsed a list of books from a self-described "radical" book publisher. Several of the titles are considered critical race theory resources, including Black Lives Matter at School, The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop: How to Decolonize the Creative Classroom, How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America, and From #Black Lives Matter to Black Liberation.
Davids did not return a request for comment.
Biden has looked to distance herself from the ongoing border crisis in the past after reports emerged in HuffPost and other media outlets that the first lady planned to take a leading role in a "task force to reunite separated immigrant families." In March, the first lady's office insisted she had "no formal role" in the administration's efforts. Biden will, however, have a formal role in the White House's political operations—the first lady is set to stump for Terry McAuliffe in Virginia on Friday as Democrats look to avoid a high-profile gubernatorial loss in a state they won by double digits in 2020.
GOP Senator Pressing Biden Admin To Disclose Number of Illegal Immigrants Released into US
More than half million migrants released into US as border crisis reaches breaking point
Adam Kredo • October 25, 2021 2:20 pmA Republican senator is demanding the Biden administration hand Congress all documents and internal communications related to its decision to release more than half a million illegal immigrants into the United States.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.), a member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, instructed the Department of Homeland Security late last week to provide him and other lawmakers with internal administration communications detailing the exact number of illegal immigrants who have been shipped across the United States after being apprehended at the border this fiscal year. Johnson also wants to know the exact number of illegals who have been let into the United States with a notice to appear before an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, according to a copy of a letter sent to Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
"ICE might not be properly assessing these illegal aliens before releasing them into the interior of the U.S.," Johnson wrote, raising concerns shared by many in the GOP. "If true, ICE’s reported actions could threaten the safety and security of all Americans."
Johnson’s investigation into the escalating border crisis comes as the Biden administration grapples with a massive influx of illegal immigrants along the southern border with Mexico. Nearly two million illegal immigrants have entered the United States in fiscal year 2021 alone, and the Biden administration has been releasing immigrants into cities across the country. The issue has generated widespread outrage in Congress and could come to a head in the coming weeks as a group of thousands of migrants travel through Central America on their way to the southern border, where they will strain an already overwhelmed Customs and Border Protection agency.
In addition to the more than half a million illegal immigrants who have been released into the United States, DHS is aware of more than 344,000 "known got-aways," or individuals who evaded apprehension and are likely in the United States illegally with little way for the government to track them, according to Johnson.
"These numbers, which may be even higher, underscore this administration’s failure to enact policies to secure the border and has created an unprecedented migration crisis," the senator wrote.
The Biden administration "is not just releasing illegal aliens into border towns after CBP processing, but rather transporting illegal aliens from the border to cities within the interior of the United States," Johnson wrote.
DHS informed Johnson’s office earlier this month that CBP has processed 273,000 aliens and then released them into the United States with a notice to later appear at an immigration office for possible removal from America. ICE processed another 124,000 immigrants and gave them similar notices, according to DHS figures provided to the senator. Another 31,000 immigrants were processed under "other outcomes" and transferred to departments other than ICE such as the U.S. Marshals Service and state and local law enforcement. At least 102,000 unaccompanied alien children were also processed.
Johnson asked DHS, which still has not provided exact figures related to the border crisis, including the total number of illegal immigrants who have entered America in 2021, to provide his office by Nov. 2—and every month after—information on how many illegal immigrants have been released into the United States.
Johnson also wants exact figures related to the number of illegal immigrants who were released with a notice to appear, a notice to report, or via parole. Most aliens are required to report to CBP or ICE after their release, though, historically, a large number never do so and ultimately disappear into America. Because of this, Johnson is also asking DHS to provide figures on how many illegal immigrants fail to report back to the government after their release.
