CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 9,2024
NEED ANOTHER REASON BESIDES LAW BREAKING TO OPPOSE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? HOW ABOUT THE COST?
THE WASHINGTON TIMES – A REAL NEWSPAPER I HOPE YOU READ – REPORTS THAT EACH ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT COSTS THE U.S. MORE PER YEAR THAN IT SPENDS ON THE AVERAGE FOOD STAMP RECIPIENT OR MEDICAID BENEFICIARY. THIS, ACCORDING TO AN ANALYSIS BY THE HOUSE BUDGET COMMITTEE, WHICH WILL BE IGNORED BY OTHER MEDIA BECAUSE THEY DON’T CARE AND THE HOUSE COMMITTEES ARE HEADED BY REPUBLICANS.
THE NET COST TO THE COUNTRY IS MORE THAN $150 BILLION PER YEAR, WITH MOST OF IT GOING TO EDUCATE CHILDREN WHO ARE HERE ILLEGALLY THEMSELVES OR WHOSE PARENTS ARE HERE WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. THAT $150 BILLION IS THOUGHT TO BE A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE AS MORE POUR INTO THE COUNTRY.
THE BURDEN FALLS ON STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, WHICH WILL EITHER HAVE TO CUT SERVICES, OR RAISE TAXES.
THIS IS NOT A CHOICE THAT SHOULD HAVE TO BE MADE. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT – MEANING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION – SHOULD BE UPHOLDING IMMIGRATION LAWS AS THEY ARE SWORN TO DO. INSTEAD, THEY ARE FLOODING US WITH ILLEGALS. MOTIVES MAY INCLUDE DESTROYING AMERICA, CHEAP LABOR, AND MORE VOTES FOR DEMOCRATS. ALL THREE ARE LIKELY. WE ARE LOSING OUR COUNTRY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
