Oh man! Look at what a hack journalist says at the Washington Compost!
Wow SEVEN TRILLION! That’s a lot! Granted, those numbers are for ten years from now, but WOW!
So why is every city overrun with illegals complaining about the billions it is costing them? Why are they not raving about the billions of extra tax revenue?
Wait a second – I know. Something is missing in that equation. GDP and revenue…..ohhhh, that’s right. He doesn’t say a peep about EXPENDITURES or DEFICITS or DEBT over the next ten years! How convenient!
The economy may be $7 trillion bigger in ten years but the debt will be around $20 trillion larger – or THREE TIMES bigger than GDP growth. That is because we are running $2 trillion deficits every year – SPENDING far more than we take in. If you are spending $2.50 you don’t have for every $1 in GDP growth, you are not doing well. You are digging a deeper hole.
Since we learned in 2nd grade that there TANSTAAFL, how does this situation resolve itself? By weakening the purchasing power of those extra dollars floating around – also known as INFLATION. Which we have clearly seen in spades the last three years.
Here is another CBO chart for you. According to the latest forecast from the Congressional Budget Office, the federal deficit will grow from 4.2 percent of GDP in 2022 to 13 percent of GDP by 2051:
According to retards like Jeff Stein and Clayton Tucker, if an illegal invader pays $1 in taxes but then takes $3 in welfare in return, they are a benefit to society! All you have to do is ignore that $3 cost and paint a rosy picture!
Furthermore, the European Union has ALREADY run this experiment: these people will use much more in services than they pay in. In the EU one invader over a lifetime costs the tax payer roughly 725k.
Whether we are talking about wind power, illegal invaders or government run schools – Comrade Clayton NEVER mentions costs when he touts the supposed benefits of any fucked-up government program. That is because a 33-year-old who lives with his mom doesn’t worry about the cost of anything. Mom pays for it all. So his worldview is permanently distorted and incorrect on everything.
Comrade Clayton is like that fat, 28-year-old white trash brood sow who has 5 kids with 3 different guys. She “pays taxes” on her meager 7-Eleven salary and then takes out 5x that amount in food stamps, WIC, Section 8 housing, child tax ‘refunds’ and other welfare. Yet in her tiny pea brain, she “pays taxes” because she doesn’t count the thousands and thousands she gets in welfare.
The real facts? Illegal invaders costs the U.S. taxpayer over $150 billion PER YEAR.
The FAIR study, released in March last year, documented the financial toll of illegal immigration on the U.S., taking into account factors like emergency medical care, incarcerating illegal aliens in local jails, and federal budgets that pay out billions in welfare every year, pegging the net annual cost at $150.7 billion.
To contextualize the number, the $150.7 billion spent on illegal immigration last year is more than the total gross domestic product (GDP) of Mississippi ($146.7 billion in 2023), New Mexico ($131.5 billion), Idaho ($119.8 billion), and is more than the GDP’s Wyoming and Vermont combined, at $50.74 billion and $43.38 billion, respectively.
With illegal immigration now costing $150.7 billion annually, the burden inevitably trickles down to the taxpayer. Individually, the FAIR study found that each illegal alien or their U.S.-born child costs the U.S. $8,776 annually.
Of the $8,776, each American taxpayer is paying roughly $1,156 per year, FAIR found, or about $957 each after factoring in the taxes paid by illegal aliens.
