House Report: Illegal Immigration Costs Americans $451 Billion Every Single Year

But the Democrat Party needs new illegal voters so it's a steal!

Caring for illegal aliens currently within the United States could cost American taxpayers up to $451 billion per year, a Monday interim staff report from House Republicans has concluded.

Originally obtained by the New York Post, the 49-page report entitled "The Historic Dollar Costs of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' Open-Border Policies" became public the same day that the House voted to refer a resolution to impeach the eponymous security official to the Homeland Security Committee.

...

"Every day, millions of American taxpayer dollars are spent on costs directly associated with illegal immigration and the unprecedented crisis at the Southwest border sparked by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' policies," the report begins. "Only a small fraction is ever recouped from the taxes paid by illegal aliens, with the rest falling on the shoulders of American citizens and lawful residents."

"Mass illegal immigration, accelerated by Mayorkas' open-borders policies, now represents a massive cost to the federal government and state governments alike, as well as the pocketbooks of private citizens and businesses," it continues. "The range of costs inflicted by Mayorkas' border crisis cover everything from emergency medical care to increased demands on law enforcement to housing and shelter benefits for illegal aliens."

...

In the end, Republicans drew damning conclusions about Mayorkas' job performance from the data.

"It is morally unacceptable that American taxpayer dollars should be funneled to those who violate our laws and demand expansive, taxpayer-funded benefits like education, health care, housing, and more," the report went on. "Many of these individuals will likely represent a drain on American society for the remainder of their days in the United States, constantly absorbing more benefits from the state than they ever contribute--to say nothing of the fact that they have no lawful basis to remain in the country to begin with."

Eight Republicans voted with Democrats to derail Marjorie Taylor-Greene's impeachment action against Mayorkas.

The vote was 209-201. 12 Democrats and 12 Republicans did not vote. The eight no votes were Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), Rep. John Duarte (R-CA), Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Rep. Cliff Bentz (R-OR), and Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH).

Meanwhile, CNN writes up a Trump Press Release, mistakenly believing it's a hit piece.

Former President Donald Trump is planning a widespread expansion of his first administration's hardline immigration policies if he is elected to a second term in 2024, including rounding up undocumented immigrants already in the US and placing them in detention camps to await deportation, a source familiar with the plans confirmed to CNN.

The plans, first reported by The New York Times, would necessitate building large camps to house migrants waiting for deportation and tapping federal and local law enforcement to assist with large-scale arrests of undocumented immigrants across the country.

Should Congress refuse to fund the operation, Trump could turn to a tactic used in his first term to secure more funding for a border wall -- redirecting funds from the Pentagon, the source confirmed.

News of the proposals comes after Trump at a rally in Florida on Wednesday promised to conduct "the largest domestic deportation operation in American history" and argued criminals were coming through the US-Mexico border and warned of "young, strong people that had bad intentions."
