I Prayed have prayed
Father, we lift up the border and the illegal immigration crisis before You. We ask You to raise up wise leaders who will take decisive action to solve this critical issue.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

In March of last year, illegal immigrants were costing America just over $150 billion. Now, that number is sure to be higher, and it will only continue to climb unless decisive action is taken.

From Newsweek. An ongoing border crisis that saw 5,000 illegal aliens being released into the United States per day in December of last year is a microcosm of a much larger issue …

The issue is a $150.7 billion one, shared between federal and state governments, and that’s just one year.

Since the inauguration of President Biden on January 20, 2021, over 3.3 million illegal immigrants have been released into the U.S., according to the Committee on the Judiciary and Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, which is costing taxpayers billions at the federal and state levels.

A report issued by the committee in mid-January says that the Biden administration has, among other things, “dismantled interior immigration enforcement to allow illegal aliens to remain in the country,” which is contributing to a growing cost borne by U.S. taxpayers. A separate study issued by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) quantified the monetary side of that burden. …

 

The FAIR study, released in March last year, documented the financial toll of illegal immigration on the U.S., taking into account factors like emergency medical care, incarcerating illegal aliens in local jails, and federal budgets that pay out billions in welfare every year, pegging the net annual cost at $150.7 billion.

Arriving at the figure by subtracting the estimated $32 billion of tax contributions made by illegal immigrants, FAIR said the economic impact would have otherwise been $182 billion. In 2017, the U.S. spent roughly $116 billion on illegal immigration, suggesting that the problem is a growing one. …

With illegal immigration now costing $150.7 billion annually, the burden inevitably trickles down to the taxpayer. Individually, the FAIR study found that each illegal alien or their U.S.-born child costs the U.S. $8,776 annually.

Of the $8,776, each American taxpayer is paying roughly $1,156 per year, FAIR found, or about $957 each after factoring in the taxes paid by illegal aliens. …

Lord Jesus, please raise up national leaders in our government who will stop the flow of illegal aliens into our nation. Also, Lord, a President who will send all the illegals back to the other side of the border. We have as a nation, given out an astronomical amount of money and national resources to this cause. It is but a symptom of why our nation is so far in debt. All our lending nations have to do is say that they want their money back (i.e. China), and guess what? Our once-great nation has become a colony. Just what the N.W.O. would love to see happen. The only way that our nation can survive economically is to deport all of the illegals, and to cease in giving ANY money to support them. What has been done by the Biden Administration/ N.W,O. must stop immediately, if not sooner. Our nation’s economy and its future are at very high risk. Lord Jesus, please make a way where there would seem to be no way.

Lord, You know our grief over the injustice from the illegal immigration that our current federal government has promoted over the past few years. It has brought suffering to both migrants and US citizens. Grant us the competent leaders endowed with your wisdom and counsel to be elected and sworn into office this January. Prevent illegal manipulations in our elections and grant us protection from the enemy of our souls. Amen
