Many people are coming into the country without proper vetting, mostly military-age men from China, Africa, and other places. What's concerning is that these individuals are given a cell phone, a plane ticket to any location in the country, and a $5,000 Visa card upon being processed. This means that while you may be struggling to make ends meet during the Christmas season, the government is providing illegal immigrants with $5,000 gift cards.

Illegal aliens in the U.S. contributed approximately $31 billion in taxes while costing taxpayers around $182 billion in total expenditures. Specifically, they paid $16 billion in federal income tax but received $66 billion in federal benefits, resulting in a net loss of $50 billion. At the state and local level, they contributed $15 billion but incurred costs of $115 billion. Overall, in 2023, illegal aliens resulted in a net cost of about $150.7 billion to the country.

The United Nations is confirmed to be funding the migrant crisis, as revealed by the Center for Immigration Studies. Public documents show that the United Nations plans to allocate $372 million in cash and voucher assistance to approximately 624,000 immigrants heading to the United States in 2024. This information eliminates any need for speculation, and the article link is provided for further reading.

Illegal immigrants cost taxpayers roughly $9,000 each, more than what we spend on Medicaid beneficiaries, vulnerable American citizens' healthcare, and military retirement benefits for veterans. This highlights the significant and unsustainable cost of the current border crisis, especially at the state and local levels. Translation: The cost of illegal immigrants to taxpayers is high, exceeding spending on healthcare for Americans and military benefits for veterans. This emphasizes the significant and unsustainable expense of the current border crisis, particularly at state and local levels.

Illegal immigration is costing American taxpayers $9,000 per immigrant, more than what is spent on Medicaid for vulnerable citizens. This fiscal irresponsibility needs to be addressed to prevent bankruptcy. State and local governments bear the brunt of the financial burden, leading to cuts in services or increased taxes for citizens.

Migrants in Brunswick, Maine, are housed in furnished apartments with utilities paid for up to two years. These units, originally intended for Maine residents, are free for migrants while a one-bedroom apartment for residents costs around $1800 and a two-bedroom costs approximately $2300. The average house price in Brunswick is $480,000. This situation has caused outrage given the ongoing housing crisis for American citizens. Brunswick is in the same county that received nearly $1 billion in FEMA funding for sheltering illegal immigrants in 2023-2024, funds now reportedly depleted. We've also spoken with those in Bangor and Lewiston, and Catholic Charities expects to house up to 150 more refugees by September 30th. This highlights the impact of the open border crisis, extending even to unexpected areas of the U.S.

HUD identified robust improper payments in rental assistance programs. About $77,000,000 in payments to around 30,000 dead tenants, about $150,000,000 paid to people with nonexistent Social Security numbers, and around $288,000,000 paid to support excessively high rent. According to HUD, the vast majority of these incorrect payments, $5,200,000,000.0 of them, were made to people with inactive sam.gov accounts—the government website where people can register for assistance. The payments under scrutiny fall under two programs: tenant-based rental assistance and project-based rental assistance. Project-based rental assistance subsidizes housing units so low-income individuals can afford them with the government paying the property owner, and tenant-based rental assistance goes directly to the person in need. In total, HUD sent down around $50,400,000,000.0 in rental assistance payments in 2024 to more than 204,000 individuals. The potential error flagged by HUD would make up for around 11.5% of these payments. Secretary Turner said in a statement, HUD will continue investigating the shocking results and will take appropriate action to hold bad actors account.

The Roosevelt Hotel, owned by Pakistani and International Air, is still operating despite Mayor Adams' reported intention to close it in June. The hotel closed in 2020, but New York City leased it from the Pakistani company at $575,000 a night, or $200 per room, due to the migrant crisis. At its peak, the hotel housed over 3,000 migrants, costing $4,000,000 a week, or $16,000,000 a month. New York City taxpayers have been paying this amount for the past three and a half years to house undocumented immigrants. The speaker claims New York City has spent billions of dollars funding this crisis and suggests the open border policy is the cause. They state Obama deported over 3,200,000 people, while Donald Trump deported around 175,000. The speaker concludes that the crisis and the housing of migrants in hotels at taxpayer expense would not be happening without open borders.

One estimate claims it would cost $88 billion to deport one million people a year. A speaker questions whether that is what American taxpayers should expect. Another speaker asks what price should be put on national security and whether it is worth the cost. A speaker asks if mass deportation can occur without separating families. Another speaker claims families can be deported together.

Hospitals in sanctuary cities like New York City, Denver, San Diego, Chicago, and Boston are facing financial collapse due to the high number of illegal migrants seeking free care, costing American taxpayers over $30 million. For example, a clinic in Chicago treated 16,000 illegal immigrants last year.

According to a report by the US House Committee on Homeland Security Majority, the annual cost for housing and caring for asylum seekers is $451 billion. This includes both their accommodation and general welfare.

Under the current administration, 325,000 migrant children are missing. This number could fill California's largest stadium five or six times. It is claimed that many of these children are dead, and many are sex slaves or slaves of a different nature.

Undocumented immigrants can receive government assistance without a social security number through state and federal funding. State funding, especially in California, requires minimal identification, such as an address or consular ID. California offers undocumented immigrants free healthcare through Medi-Cal, food assistance through the CFAP program (providing over $2,000 a month to those over 55), and WIC. New York also offers food assistance via state funding. According to Speaker 1, 59% of illegal alien families utilize welfare programs, costing $42 billion annually.

More than 25% of the annual federal deficit is spent taking care of illegal immigrants. In 2023, the total outlay was $6.1 trillion, the total revenue was $4.4 trillion, and the federal deficit was $1.7 trillion. In 2023, $451 billion was spent taking care of illegal immigrants, which is 26.5% of the $1.7 trillion deficit. If the border was secure and there was control over who enters the country, 26.5% could be cut from the deficit. This is especially important because the money is borrowed, meaning interest will be paid on it. In 2023, $451 billion was borrowed to support illegals, and interest will be paid on that amount.

Approximately 2 million suspected terrorists have reportedly entered the United States, according to a source from the National Sheriffs Association.

California has recently expanded health care benefits for migrants aged 26 to 49, which will cover an additional 700,000 individuals at an annual cost of $2.6 billion. This decision adds to California's existing deficit, which stands at $68 billion.

Venezuela has been emptying its prisons and rehabilitation centers, sending people to the US. DHS confirmed this, with millions arriving in the US. Officially, 10-11 million have come, but estimates suggest 15-18 million.

FEMA is not and should never be an illegal alien resettlement agency. In fiscal year 23, $735,000,000 was allocated to the shelter and services program. In fiscal year 24, $650,000,000 was allocated for a housing program and other services for illegal aliens, totaling $1.5 billion. The proposed bill would take any unspent FEMA funds from this housing program for illegal aliens and give it to the victims of Hurricane Helene.

We spent $9 billion to resettle around 90,000 Afghan refugees since the fall of Afghanistan, averaging about $100,000 per person, which seems excessive. My question is, why are we providing any funds when we don't even have an embassy or diplomats in Afghanistan? The funds we provide come through partners like UN agencies and NGOs. We could apply that reasoning to all foreign aid, including funds going to foreign adversaries.

Secretary: Today, we are announcing that we have stopped all grant funding that's being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country. It's amazing to me the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been spent by the federal government that has been sent to NGOs to facilitate this invasion of our country. I have taken action to stop that funding, to reevaluate it, and to make sure that we're actually using taxpayer dollars in a way that strengthens this country and keeps us safe. People are curious how grants given out by federal agencies are utilized, and that evaluation needs to be done. We're not spending another dime to help the destruction of this country. We're going to follow through on what president Trump promised, to secure our border, depart those who are here illegally and committing criminal actions, and ensure taxpayer dollars aren't spent to assist it. Speaker: And, Madam Secretary, I don't think people fully understand the role that NGOs play in facilitating illegal immigration. I want to share these numbers up on the screen: we spend over $380,000,000 in 2024 for sheltering and service programs for illegal immigrants. But the vast network of NGOs that help facilitate it through Panama, through Mexico, and make it a landing spot here in the United States is a massive contributor to illegal immigration. So what you're telling us today is that now stops? At least the federal funding of that stops? Secretary: Yes. The Department of Homeland Security has stopped spending those dollars to fund those NGOs. What’s been revealing is that many of these NGOs actually have infrastructure and operations set up in Mexico on that side of the border, telling illegal immigrants to come to them, and they will get them across the border. So they're not just operating in the United States. They're operating outside of the United States to help make it easier for those who want to break our laws. And while I was one of those Americans years ago when somebody said NGO to me, I thought, oh, that's amazing—a nonprofit telling somebody about Jesus or spreading faith and charitable work, helping people less fortunate. Then I realized over the years it's been perverted into this shadow government. An NGO is sometimes an operation that does things the government cannot do, can't legally do, so they create an entity to use government dollars, taxpayer dollars, to do something that the federal government isn't allowed to do—to perform a shadow government operation that has recently been used to undermine our country's national security.

According to a new report by the US House Committee on Homeland Security majority, the annual cost for housing and caring for asylum seekers is estimated to be $451 billion. This includes expenses for both their accommodation and general welfare.

According to the Federation For American Immigration, the federal government spent $66 billion on illegal immigrants in 2023, compared to $3 billion on homeless veterans. The speaker questioned why this allocation makes sense, suggesting the numbers are comparable. The speaker itemized $5.8 billion in SNAP, $10 billion in Medicare, $8.2 billion in uncompensated hospital expenditures, and $3 billion for primary and secondary education for illegal immigrants. The speaker suggested redirecting funds from the $66 billion to address veterans' needs, such as the White House's requested $13 million for a national call center for homeless veterans, $17.2 billion for veterans' mental health, and $2.9 billion for caregiver support programs. The speaker claimed the Biden administration is responsible for the current allocation of funds.

The federal government is investing over $4.2 billion this year to support refugees and asylum seekers.

According to a new report by the US House Committee on Homeland Security majority, the annual cost for housing and caring for asylum seekers is estimated to be $451 billion. This includes expenses for both their accommodation and general welfare.

The speaker describes a massive UN and NGO–driven immigration infrastructure in Mexico and Central America. In Tapachula, Mexico, the UNHCR is constructing a 75,000 square foot “illegal immigration mall” on Mexican land, with the UN and various NGOs under one roof. There is also a large tent city space, indicating a planned, long-term hub for migrants. The speaker notes similar NGO complexes in Colombia and Panama, where NGO villages resemble big swap meets with storefronts for different organizations and permanent billboards directing immigrants to resources needed to continue their journey. They claim hundreds of NGOs operate in the region, including US NGOs, European NGOs, and Latin American NGOs, many affiliated with Catholic dioceses or well-known groups like Doctors Without Borders. These NGOs are described as receiving substantial US taxpayer money to build a cross-border safety net, facilitated by UN agencies and then doled out to national NGOs via US appropriations from the State Department, USAID, and related sources. Financial figures are presented to illustrate the scale: $1.9 billion spent in 2024, $2.2 billion in the previous year, and about $45 billion over the last few years, with 2019 at $377 million in comparison. The speaker suggests this funding is intended to sustain a long-term, high-volume flow of migration from South America to the US border, with Tapachula identified as a key strategic city and the surrounding NGO towns on the migration corridor highlighted as part of the infrastructure. The speaker contends the operations are designed with an expectation of a political outcome, stating they are “betting on a Harris win” and that the system would halt “within an hour of his inauguration” if certain policies were enacted. Specifically, they claim the remain-in-Mexico policy could be immediately implemented, with orders to border patrol and possible invocation of Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to push back and deny asylum to 100% of border crossers. The claim is that this would deter migrants from attempting entry, and that the migrants themselves are closely watching US politics, with many believing that if Trump is in office, entry and asylum access would be substantially harder. The speaker observes that about 50,000 to 60,000 migrants arrive at the border monthly, noting a socioeconomic stratification: wealthier migrants tend to pay human smugglers to reach the border, while the poorer migrants—often from lower-income backgrounds—struggle to finance the final stages of the journey, sometimes needing to borrow or sell assets to reach Mexico, where the poorest end up on the streets in Tapachula. They remark that some nationalities, such as many Chinese and Venezuelans, are described as wealthier within this context.
