A new congressional report highlights the alarming economic toll of illegal immigration, estimating a burden ranging from $150 billion to $450 billion per year on taxpayers. This translates to approximately $13,000 for every individual migrant, with a mere 20 cents contributed for every dollar taken. The report attributes the fiscal strain to factors such as higher rates of illness, lower skill and education levels, increased reliance on welfare, and elevated crime rates among illegal immigrants compared to both native populations and legal immigrants. As Washington grapples with the consequences of ongoing conflicts and a surge in undocumented border crossings, the nation teeters on the brink of a fiscal crisis that threatens the stability of the entire financial system.
