$450 Billion / YR for Illegal Immigrants

The annual cost of illegal immigration to American taxpayers is upward of $450 billion annually.

Let's get down to business and prove the math behind the $451 billion cost of illegal immigration in the US. According to a report from the House Committee on Homeland Security, the cost to care for and house illegal migrants could hit $451 billion per year.

Now, let's do some calculations. If we divide $451 billion by the number of illegal immigrants in the US, which is estimated to be around 12 million, we get:

$451 billion / 12 million = $37,583 per illegal immigrant per year

Between free housing and cash stipends $3,000 per month sounds about right.
