The amount spent on illegal immigrants is absolutely dwarfed by the amount we spend on the military or our broken healthcare system. We spend 18% of GDP on healthcare - most of Europe spends around 11-12%.

i read that 116,000 illegals came across the border in just 2021. so just for them, lets say each one of them runs up 5000 in medical bills and gets 10,000 welfare from the government. You know how much money that is? $1,740,000,000.

Now the thing is, that's happening every year. think of adding on another $1.7 billion in expenses for taxpayers every year. 2022,2023, it's an exponential thing.At some point that could become as large as the military budget.

i disagree with the military budget being so big and i don't think the usa healthcare system is a useful thing at all... Shocked
