#12  Oh.
And since the transportation to the USA was paid for with some of that sweet sweet USAID money, have to factor in average cost of transport per illegal.

How about the cost of advertising? Say a person pays for a media service, and in that package is the propaganda trying to glow this as 'why this is a good thing', that is money lost.

*apparently, I've haven't seen it, the new super hero movie was advertised by the director as a why immigration is good, trying to talk up illegals. Apparently, the super hero's dad said he was sent to Earth to conquer and rule 'the human way' and breed out the natives. I kind of rolled my eyes at that pitch, but after finding out about that scene, I say, "You are correct, sir."

#11  It's pretty easy, Karen.

You figure how much it costs the state and fed to house, cloth, and feed an individual each year at california prices. Add in estimated loss of revenue from payroll being under the table. This does not include extras, like injuring somebody or crime, but let's just spitball $200,000 per year, each.

Now, say average productive citizen sends in $15,000 taxes per year, so that costs some 14 productive citizens their earned income and social mobility, assuming they are not injuring by a drunk illegal driver or graped and murdered.

There are other costs, of course, such as decreasing property interest with increasing property prices, loss of public space availability, increased prices of goods, wear and tear on public transit, and of course the fires which start from their cooking outdoors.

#9  LOL @ taxpayer cost

How much of the fire department budget went to Trantifa? Sure seems to be an overinflated number of trannies causing the troubles.
