Americans are paying more to cover the costs of illegal immigrants having children in the United States than Congress plans to give President Trump in border wall funding this year, according to an explosive new analysis of Census Bureau data.
The new report reveals that women in the United States illegally had 297,000 children in 2014 at a cost of $2.4 billion.
That is $800 million more than the Senate has approved for Trump’s border wall this year and enough to pay for the wall over 10 years.
The Center for Immigration Studies report also put a price on the likely Medicaid bill for childbirth and early care to illegal and legal immigrants combined, at $5.3 billion. That is one-fifth the total cost of building the border wall.
A national debate over wall funding is set for after the election and could result in a partial government shutdown if Trump doesn’t get more than the Senate’s $1.6 billion.
That looks like Barry Soetoro’s footprint. America should have kept him out but the damn Democrats let him in.
Time to take drastic action to stop Chinese businesses from flying pregnant women to America so their babies can go back to China with a boat load of American benefits.
Just consider the loss of civic improvements (better roads, replacement civil war monuments) that ended up being spent on social services for illegals.
We have our own poverty stricken that we at least try to help – can’t Catholic nations like everywhere south of us do the same?
I think Trump just needs to use DoD money, as he has suggested. No reason to politicize it further, just start building!
I remember seeing Jorge Ramos blow a gasket on Tucker Carlson’s show, screaming “The wall won’t work!!!!”
I wondered “Why does he get so worked up about it then?
