    Here is the source of that $150 billion cost estimate:

    study, "The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers 2023" by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).

    Aren't search engines wonderful?

    Here is an excerpt from a different report, with source:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "A Rough Estimate of Welfare Cost. The SIPP is much better at measuring the share of the population accessing programs rather than the dollar value of what they receive, and for some programs it does not even report the value of benefits. However, we can estimate the costs created by illegal immigrant households for the eight programs we examined in the welfare study discussed above. Federal expenditures on these programs total $817 billion.32 States spent an additional $226 billion on Medicaid.33 Looking at the share of recipients in illegal immigrant households indicates that they account for 4 percent of the cost of the programs listed above. This means illegal immigrants received about $42 billion from these programs in 2021. This is only a rough estimate because we do not have detailed costs for every program by household.34 Equally important, the SIPP has a significant undercount of illegal immigrants so the number of illegal immigrant households using welfare is under reported in the survey. This undercount is larger than the undercount in other Census Bureau surveys such as the CPS and ACS."

    --- Testimony of Steven A. Camarota, Director of Research, Center for Immigration Studies for Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee

    Hearing entitled “The Impact of Illegal Immigration on Social Services,” Thursday, January 11, 2024

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Of course, it would be impractical to post the entire report here in a message, but if anyone is interested, it's easy enough to look it up from the provided citation.

    That's it $750 a person. Kamala worst thing since Nixon. FEMA broke spent all their money on illegals for hurricane victims.

    It wasn't my quote. I was simply providing the source.
