The illegal immigration crisis cost $150 billion in 2023 alone, claims The New York Post.

At a time when towns and cities across the US have been struggling to find money to pay for basic services like law enforcement and firefighting, the Biden-Harris admin spent $67 billion on illegal immigration, with state and municipal governments spending over $80 billion.

The calculations were made on the basis of figures from the non-profit Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).

FAIR estimated there were 15.5 million illegal immigrants in the US in 2022, with the federal government paying $3,187 per migrant per year, a 45% increase on the figures for 2017.

Out of a total of $67 billion spent by the federal government in 2023 on illegal immigration, $6.6 billion was spent on education, $11.5 billion on welfare and $23.1 billion on policing.

States and cities have faced significant budget shortfalls as a result of the immigration crisis. Denver City Council has had to slash $45 million from its budget, so the city can pay the $90 million put aside for dealing with illegal immigrants. That $45 million includes $8.4 million from policing and $2.5 million from the fire department.

New York City spent close to $2.5 billion on accommodation for illegals in a single year. Many were housed in plush hotels that were closed to the general public to accommodate migrants. Well over 200,000 migrants have entered the city since spring 2022, costing the city $352 each a night to house. Over 150 hotels across the city have been converted into migrant shelters. Overall city funding has been cut by 5% by Mayor Eric Adams.
