That’s the game plan ___ use the force of federal taxation to confiscate American Citizens’ wealth and then use it to finance the economic needs of those crossing our border illegally.

Illegal immigration is now costing American citizens over $18 billion a year in healthcare costs alone! Far more than the measly $5.7 billion asked for to build a wall! LINK
That is the biggest issue, is that they’re Forcing it upon Americans.
I’m just wondering how far people, especially in Liberal lead
states are going to continue to allow this to happen!!!?
I think our conservative media outlets need to do a better job explaining the devastating social and economic consequences of allowing our country to be flooded with the poverty stricken, poorly educated, low skilled, disease carrying and criminal populations of other countries. For example SEE: Arizona Superintendent: Illegals Will Bankrupt Schools;
“Having to pay for the tremendous educational costs associated with the federal government’s failure to secure the border is not new to Arizona taxpayers or Arizona schools,” Huppenthal said in the letter. “What is new, though, and what is unprecedented, is the federal government’s actions to relocate at least hundreds of unaccompanied minors … to Arizona’s cities and towns, where they will attend Arizona schools.”
And more recently see Illegal aliens cost California billions
”Illegal immigration costs the taxpayers of California — which has the highest number of illegal aliens nationwide — $10.5 billion a year for education, health care and incarceration, according to a study released yesterday.”

I agree, but I would add, that they need to put it out in Conservative media and mainly television a lot more often then what they do currently. Shed more spotlight on it.
make it more of a top subject. Certain things the Liberals media has intentionally
pushed to the side, so Americans do dwell on it as much.
I have noticed that Sean Hannity, in recent months, has indeed placed emphasis on the devastating social and financial burden inflicted upon American citizens by illegal border crossings. Not only that, but he has pointed to the fact that American citizens, living in our nation’s inner cities, are mostly affected by the flood of illegal entrants.

The Dem Politicians have already bankrupted social security, they’re wanting
to see how many other things in America they can corrupt, and
bankrupt for the American people, and ruin.
The devastating social and economic impact of illegal immigration
Let us take a look at the destructive social and economic consequences in just one county in California inflicted upon its citizens in 1995 when this massive invasion of our borders began to accelerate. CLICK HERE and scroll to page 93 for testimony given by JOAN ZINSER before the COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY, U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, DECEMBER 13, 1995
Good morning Chairman Smith and other honorable members of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims. I am Joan Zinser, Deputy Director of the San Diego County Department of Social Services. I direct the department’s Income Maintenance Bureau, which has responsibility for AFDC, Food Stamps and Medicaid eligibility determinations. I am here today to tell you about the effects of illegal immigration on the County’s assistance programs, and to present information regarding impacts on other county-funded services.
Impacts on San Diego County
In 1993, illegal aliens in San Diego County were estimated to be 7.9% of the population, or a total of almost 220,000 illegal aliens in a county with a population of slightly over 2 1/2 million. A 1993 Calffornia State Senate report estimated that the State, local governments - primarily the County - and schools incurred $304 million in costs to provide services to illegal aliens. These costs were offset by only $60 million in taxes generated by illegal aliens - leaving a net impact of $244 million.
Welfare Costs.
When a child is a US citizen, AFDC can be granted for the child but not the parent, if the parent is an undocumented immigrant. In 1992 there were 6,414 children born to undocumented immigrant parents in San Diego County hospitals. Each year, the illegal alien parents of nearly 2000 "citizen children" apply for and receive AFDC in San Diego County. The cumulative total of these "citizen child" cases continues to rise each year.
Public assistance is intended to support the citizen child, but is paid to the illegal alien parent and is, no doubt, used by the parent to support the entire family. Costs for providing AFDC to "citizen children" cases in San Diego totaled $37 million in 1993 for approximately 5430 AFDC cases.
Additional costs are incurred in Child Welfare Services. Combining costs for Out-of-Home and Family Maintenance services to families of illegal aliens results in an additional cost of $1.7 million.
Medicaid and Other Health-Related- Costs.
Medicaid services are an increasingly large portion of the costs involved in illegal immigration. In 1992, Medicaid paid for 6,414 births illegal alien mothers. Although studies have shown that illegal aliens use fewer Medicaid services than do the age-equivalent members of the general population, significant costs remain. Delivery costs are greater for babies with mothers lacking adequate prenatal care and many medical conditions are treated more cost-effectively in their early stages. Infectious diseases are also a major concern of the County. San Diego County has historically carried large costs because of illegal aliens with these problems. Costs associated with providing emergency and pregnancy related needs to illegal aliens are paid for under "restricted Medi-Cal benefits." During the 1992 calendar year, an estimated $37 million was paid for "restricted Medi-Cal benefits." Other costs, including uncompensated care in hospitals, community clinics, and other health services elevated the 1993 total costs to over $50 million.
Criminal justice.
A recent 90-day pilot project involved having INS Agents present in the county jails to interview those suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. Approximately 20% of the persons booked into the jails during that pilot were identified as being illegal aliens. With annual bookings of approximatel 105,000 persons a year, it is estimated that up to 21,000 were illegal aliens.
According to the San Diego County District Attorney, 8,521 felony crimes were committed by illegal aliens between 1987 and 1992. Illegal aliens commit an estimated 22% of felony crimes committed in the county. The number of misdemeanors committed during the same period in San Diego County by illegal aliens is estimated to be 17,000. In 1993, approximately 15. 1 % of the costs -accrued in dealing with crimes were spent on illegal aliens. Costs for illegal aliens to the legal system totaled $151 million in the County of San Diego for 1993.
Education.
Recently, a video of students crossing the border and getting on a school bus in San Diego County in order to receive free education was shown nationwide. Locally, we have worked to make sure that this situation does not recur, but education of the children of illegal aliens is also a significant CDSt. It is estimated that $60 million was spent in San Diego County in 1993 for education of illegal aliens.

2004
”Illegal immigration costs the taxpayers of California — which has the highest number of illegal aliens nationwide — $10.5 billion a year for education, health care and incarceration, according to a study released yesterday.”
Also see: Testimony 51 Florida Hospitals in trouble due to illegal aliens expenses:
Jun 10, 2008
”No need to editorialize. Here is a sampling of the sort of facts the politicians and pro-illegal lobby want you to ignore, yet expect you to continue to bear the burden of. Is it any wonder scores of hospitals in border states and elsewhere have shut down or closed their ER units!!!”
Then take a look at Texas Faces Rising Cost For Illegal Immigrant Care
Aug 19, 2010
Texas spent at least $250 million in the past year for medical care and imprisonment of illegal immigrants and other non-citizens.
And how about this: The Fiscal Cost of Unlawful Immigrants and Amnesty to the U.S. Taxpayer
May 6, 2013
”In 2010, the average unlawful immigrant household received around $24,721 in government benefits and services while paying some $10,334 in taxes. This generated an average annual fiscal deficit (benefits received minus taxes paid) of around $14,387 per household. This cost had to be borne by U.S. taxpayers. Amnesty would provide unlawful households with access to over 80 means-tested welfare programs, Obamacare, Social Security, and Medicare. The fiscal deficit for each household would soar.”
And how about the tens of thousands of criminal aliens released into our nation’s population? See: Judicial Watch: 165,900 Criminal Aliens into US Population Through April 2014
Mar 2015
”Nearly 166,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens were released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as of April, 2014. This is the analysis of 76 pages of DHS documents obtained by Judicial Watch via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The criminal illegal aliens include rapists, murderers and kidnappers.”
There comes a time when the evidence concerning the general welfare of the United States can no longer be ignored, at least not by those who are deeply concerned about the well being of the United States.

I wonder how much Sanctuary Cities are costing the American taxpayers?
Sanctuary Cities are another things forced upon Americans that we don’t want
by the Socialist Democrats in Washington.
Some illegal entrants protected in sanctuary cities have been responsible for murdering American citizens.

The Democrat and Republican Leadership have conspired, for 35 years, to keep the border opened, and today’s funding Bill continues to allow and encourage illegal border crossings.
I agree! I think that the American People should stop electing these garbage Republican Establishment types, that have been promising Conservatives a Border wall for over 40+ years!
We need actual Conservative Politicians in there! Not fake ones, that are moderates, libertarians, and closet Democrats.
Republican Politicians!! Are you going to fight for Conservatism and back Trump,
or not?
I think there are ten traitorous Republicans who refuse to support President Trump’s declared emergency.

It was February of 2019 when an ongoing invasion of America’s borders swelled to tens of thousands a month, not a shot was fired to defend the borders of the United States, and America’s domestic enemies, socialists, communists and anarchists in Congress, pushed forward with their attempt to embrace the invasion in hopes of conquering a prosperous and freedom loving people.
Definitely need to drain the swamp. I’m guessing that some of the Dems in congress
are helping protect the swamp Republican Establishment. Especially when those Republicans can be bought for a price. Ultimately, they’re traitors to the Republican Party, and to Conservatism in America. I hope that the people of those states can wake up, and push Conservatives into the positions of the traitorous sell out Republicans.
Unfortunately, it is self-evident that we have those who are attracted to political power, not to advance individual liberty and protect the inalienable rights of mankind, but they are attracted to political power for nefarious purposes and an intoxicating lust for power and control over their fellow mankind. And in their struggle to acquire political power, they pray upon the most vulnerable and unfortunate souls in society with promises to solve the economic shortcomings of those who struggle to make ends meet. And yet, once in power, they instinctively keep the poor and disadvantage under the heel of poverty with more promises that change is just around the corner. Is this not the case in Cuba, and other poverty stricken countries where the people surrendered liberty for a promise of security?

The Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s socialism will promise food on the table, free public housing, health care for all, guaranteed income, free college tuition, and other niceties by taxing the so called rich; and if by chance their socialist leadership gains control because of such promises made, the end result, as John Adams stated, “will be revengeful, bloody, and cruel” and especially so for the most productive, hardworking members of the community.
Good questions, but a better one is if these caravans are allowed in, just how many million more will follow?
If these “caravans” are allowed in, I feel comfortable predicting that millions more in such “caravans” will follow, and the devastating social and financial consequences now experienced by American Citizens will be amplified to such a degree that America will soon reflect the very countries from which these poverty stricken foreigners have fled.

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!
It is pretty sick, how they prey on the people that they make promises too.
The proof is in the pudding. If I were the Conservative Media I’d simply keep saying that under Obama as President and the Democrats having power, how many more millions of people relied on the government and were on food stamps? Single mothers.
is where they aim a lot of their propaganda at.
Now, under Trump, how many people are off food stamps, and how many more jobs are there? The proof is in the pudding.
I’m not sure how those pompous remarks relate to the OP’s question: Who will pay the costs if the thousands in the caravan are allowed on American soil?
