New York City and the massive cost to its taxpayers of subsidizing illegal alien migrants has made headline over the past year, as have the cuts to law enforcement, education, libraries, and other services to citizens to pay for it. But they are not the only Democrat run sanctuary city soaking taxpayers to pay for illegal aliens. Some have even proposed or passed tax hikes on Americans to pay for these freeloaders.
The latest city where illegal aliens pose a huge financial burden is the sanctuary city of Denver, Colorado, where the leftwing mayor was recently heckled by upset taxpayers over the funding of the illegals. Denver is estimated to have about 45,000 illegal aliens in the city, including members of several crime gangs. An analysis by the Common Sense Institute has found that last fiscal year, Denver spent $356 Million of local taxpayer money to subsidize illegal aliens.
In spite of their huge cost to Denver taxpayers, Mayor Mike Johnston says he is willing to go to jail to stop the new Border Czar Tom Homan from deporting any of them. That might just happen because Homan has said he is willing to use federal criminal law which makes it a felony to harbor an illegal alien against Democrat politicians who try to thwart the nation's immigration laws.
My post is factual.
Hire an American to pick lettuce,, and see how much a head of lettuce costs. Your argument doesn’t even pass a laugh test. That said, we could do a better job of with our immigration laws that allow people to come here legally and work in exchange for proper over site and a path to a better life. Win, win. BH- it’s ok to hate the system, but do really need to hate on people? |
Migrants are now 14% of Germany's populiation and 63% of their welfare budget. Their economy is on the skids, with record bankruptcies of businesses, and a GNP has is in decline. The majority of migrants are not employed. It is easier to pull the statistics from Germany, but their negative impact on our economy is likely the same.
As far as our household budget, the presence of a large number of illegal aliens has increase housing costs, food costs, medical costs, and insurance costs for our citizens. |
I stand by my post.
You are incorrect. If you want them gone, stop supporting businesses that hire them. Yes, that impacts the rich and white. Ironic, huh? |
Right you are borderhawk: There was a time when Leftists would spew that Illegals more than economically paid their economic way for being here illegally.
From my experience, as a long serving county commissioner, I well understood that incredible statement as pure sophistry, but now, with Non Patriot Joe enticing tens of millions of Illegals into our Constitutional Republic for the Democratic Socialists' sworn "Browning of America," even the most vapid Leftists never make that foolish argument in favor of their "Undocumented Status," unless ... they are off-the-charts-stupid. |
You are clueless, Little Bobbie. A very high percentage of illegal aliens are living on taxpayer handouts. The money spent in Denver was taxpayer money by the government to subsidize the living expenses of illegal aliens. In the US, the streams of money to pay for this often do not come directly from welfare. Think the massive diversion of FEMA funds for migrant housing and the vast diversion of VA funds for migrant medical care. Then there are local government funds to put them up in luxury hotels. In Germany, it is more centralized and easy to compute a number, and there 63% of all welfare spending goes to illegal alien "asylum seekers".

You mean private business. Government doesn’t hire illegals. Private business does.
|
Maybe we should just cut off all federal funds to any local or state government that subsidizes and harbors illegal aliens.

GIven the huge spike in pickpocketing since the masses of Biden-Harris migrants arrived, it is likely that more of them are picking pockets than picking lettuce.
If you remember Cesar Chavez and his United Farm Workers Union, most of his members were Hispnaic American citizens, and one of the thing Chavez always told his members was to be vigilent to spot illegal aliens and to properly report them when they were spotted. Chavez was once a darling of the American left, but he is now out of favor with the open borders left.
