[WashingtonExaminer] Taxpayers spend at least $182 billion a year on illegal immigration, the cost of providing services to an estimated $15.5 million immigrants.
The bottom line for each taxpayer is a bill of $1,156, according to a new tally from the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
“At the federal, state, and local levels, taxpayers shell out approximately $182 billion to cover the costs incurred from the presence of more than 15.5 million illegal aliens, and about 5.4 million citizen children of illegal aliens. That amounts to a cost burden of approximately $8,776 per illegal alien/citizen child,” said a new report from FAIR shared with Secrets.
“Illegal aliens only contribute roughly $32 billion in taxes at the state, local, and federal levels. This means that the net fiscal cost of illegal immigration to taxpayers totals approximately $150.7 billion,” it said.
Just five years ago, when FAIR did a similar report, the net cost was $116 billion.
“As America struggles to meet countless societal needs while facing the realities of our staggering $31 trillion national debt, the costs of providing for millions of people who have no legal right to be in the United States continues to grow at an alarming rate,” said Dan Stein, president of FAIR, in a statement.
“Not only is the Biden administration refusing to rein in illegal immigration or remove the people who are breaking our laws, they are promulgating policies that actually encourage more of it while offering new protections and benefits to those who settle here illegally. Likewise, a growing number of states and localities create their own costly magnets for illegal aliens by declaring themselves sanctuaries and offering new benefits and services. This has to stop,” he added.
[PostMillennial] The January 6 Committee was convened by then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and their mission was to use the Capitol riot, in which Trump supporters protested outside of, and went into the Capitol Building, to prosecute Trump. After over a year of digging, testimony, and more 900 arrests, the committee determined, without actually proving it, what they had set out to: that it was all Trump's fault.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has made those tapes available to congressmen who wish to see it. "Any of us can go," Georgia's Marjorie Taylor Greene told CNN, "You just have to schedule time with the Speaker's office... I am scheduled to go and I can take my staff with me." Greene and staffers have been provided with instructions as to how to view the footage, given that there are 40,000 hours of it.
McCarthy has also made the tapes available to news media, with Tucker Carlson Tonight taking up the helm. Carlson broadcast segments of the footage on Monday night, which showed that many of those who were claimed by the Committee to be "violent insurrectionists" were often in reverence of the Capitol, and that the "weapons" they were carrying were simply flag poles.
McCarthy was asked if he regretted releasing the tapes, and he said he was not. "No," he said. "I said at the very beginning, transparency, and so what I want to produce for everybody is exactly what I said, that people could actually look at it and see what's gone on that day."
The White House also condemned McCarthy's release of the tapes, along with Carlson's coverage of that footage, saying that Carlson was "not credible." It is unclear if anyone at the White House has reviewed the footage themselves.
Trump suggested that all detainees should be released following the reveal of the surveillance footage.
[PJMedia] We’ve known for over two years that the January 6th Select Committee never cared about the facts. They had a narrative they wanted to present and that was the only one they were going to let people see. Remember that footage of the "QAnon Shaman" being guided through the Capitol? His lawyers never even had access to that footage before. You can bet his four-year sentence will be appealed in light of the new evidence.
Another disturbing revelation comes from none other than Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chair of the January 6 Select Committee, who admitted that he never even reviewed any footage before it was shown to the public.
"I’m actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access [to the footage]. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video," he said. Almost beyond belief.
Thompson said he doesn’t think any of the Jan. 6 members themselves ever had access to the footage — they let only staff view it. "I'm actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video."

Perhaps it's only me, but couple this attitude with the previous budget headline and it might go quite a way in explaining all those deplorables who had the temerity to enter the Capitol without an, uh, invitation I believe was the word.

^ which is why they fail to pass appropriations before the end of year and pull the old Omnibus crap.
Please note whoever writes the Constitution V2, that if separate appropriations bills for all departments and agencies are not passed by the end of the fiscal year they operate on a continuing resolution till one is passed and all sitting members of Congress are barred from any federally elected, appointed office or contracts for a period of no less than ten years.
[NYPOST] President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. Don't say he didn't warn us...... ’s annual budget plan calls for roughly $5.5 trillion in tax increases over the next decade to offset proposed spending increases — including a massive 5.2% federal worker pay raise.
The package, to be announced later Thursday, is headed for certain defeat in the Republican-held House of Representatives and comes as the GOP demands spending cuts without new taxes in a standoff with Biden over raising the federal debt ceiling later this year.
"This is the start of a healthy dialogue," White House budget director Shalanda Young told news hounds on a morning conference call.
"We will see tax policies here that say to the richest Americans and the largest corporations ... that you have to begin to pay your fair share," she said.
But Young faced a grilling from journalists over criticism that hiking taxes could hurt the economy.
"Republicans will look at the $5.5 trillion in tax increases in this plan and say that those will hurt growth," one said. "What would your response be on that growth question?"
Young said the changes would ensure that "we can continue to invest in working families in this country and we can continue to make sure the middle class can prosper all while being fiscally responsible, bringing down the deficit by nearly $3 trillion."

Well, Shalalalanda got most of the lefty / Dem buzzwords in; good work, token!
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
