I am convinced it is because of all of the illegal immigrants in the area, driving while uninsured and using the hospital emergency room for care and never paying their bills. Illegal immigration is costly to the American people. Paying marginally more for the cost of produce would be worth the savings we would get from the cost of educating their kids, absorbing the cost for their health care, etc.

+1. Leftists can continue to plug their ears while shouting LALALALALA but it doesn’t change what people like me are actually seeing in our communities. I live in an area with an extremely high (~50%) illegal alien population (not the DC area).

I’ve spoken with local police officers who have talked about the high incidences of illegal aliens who speak no English getting pulled over for DUIs. People in my community post on the local Facebook group with alarming frequency about getting into accidents with people who don’t speak English and don’t have car insurance. My husband’s and my car insurance has skyrocketed in recent years even though we both have completely clean driving records and have not submitted any claims.

Multiple nurses in the hospital where I delivered our children have independently mentioned how many illegal alien women have given birth there and have no insurance, and how difficult it is to provide care for people who are from vastly different cultures and don’t speak English. (My husband and I have good insurance but still end up paying thousands in connection with each child. So imagine the bills that are going unpaid, that we end up having to subsidize.)

We shop at the same grocery store and I see them using SNAP to pay for their groceries that my husband and I pay for out of our earnings, thanks to the 3-5 anchor babies they invariably have in tow. Seriously, the most common family unit is a pregnant mom and 2-4 kids who look to be 5 and under. They come here illegally and then just crank them out to get all the bennies on the American taxpayers’ dime.

And then all the kids, whether anchor babies growing up with non English speakers, or kids brought here illegally, are crowding the local public schools and are absolutely draining all available resources.

It is infuriating. I am SICK of it. And I voted accordingly.

Thank you!

Look, being hard-line about this is going to produce heartbreaking stories and photos. It will be a bitter pill. But you wouldn't have to go put people and families in detention centers if they never came here illegally or by gaming the asylum system in the first place.

That's a far worse option that inadvertently causes much more suffering.

The US is a country of immigrants. Your ancestors came here illegally too. This land did not belong to them. It belonged to the millions of native Americans who were already living here.

The govt was not providing housing and medical expenses to them.

The government wasn’t using taxpayer dollars to provide housing, food, healthcare, and for illegal immigrants.

And the government isn't using taxpayer dollars to provide food and shelter for undocumented immigrants now. Stop being ridiculous.

Who is paying for their hotels? Food? Medical care?

Not US taxpayer dollars. Stop spreading lies. It does no one any good.

Emergency Medicaid
Illegal immigrants and their U.S. children are eligible for emergency Medicaid services.

School nutrition
All children, regardless of immigration status, are eligible for free or reduced school lunch.

WIC
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is available to all who qualify, regardless of immigration status.

Emergency shelter
Illegal immigrants may have short-term access to shelters and soup kitchens in emergency situations.

Public health
Illegal immigrants are not restricted from accessing public health programs that provide immunizations and treatment of communicable disease symptoms.

In-kind services
Illegal immigrants may have access to other in-kind services necessary to protect life or safety, such as medical, public health, and mental health services

The total cost of providing benefits to illegal immigrants is unknown because: Illegal aliens are not required to reveal their eligibility to receive certain benefits.

Officials are often prohibited from inquiring about the status of illegal alien

All Undocumented Immigrants Now Qualify For Medi-Cal In California. The new year rung in a host of new laws in California, including the expanded Medicaid coverage, nursing home disclosures, mental health measures, LGBTQ+ protections, and more.

Over half of the states have used state funds to provide TANF, Medicaid, and/or CHIP to immigrants who are subject to the five-year bar on federally funded services, or to a broader group of immigrants. A growing number of states and counties provide health coverage to children, young adults, or pregnant persons regardless of their immigration status. Several states offer or will offer health coverage to older adults regardless of their immigration status. And five states (California, Colorado, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington) and the District of Columbia offer or will offer public or private health coverage with state subsidies to all otherwise eligible immigrants regardless of their immigration status.

Where federal matching funds are available, forty-four states have chosen to cover immigrant children and/or pregnant people, or to provide prenatal care regardless of immigration status. In 2009, when Congress first reauthorized the CHIP program, states were granted an option to provide federally funded Medicaid and CHIP to “lawfully residing” children and/or pregnant persons regardless of their date of entry into the U.S. As of May 2024, thirty-eight states plus the District of Columbia have opted to take advantage of this federal funding for immigrant health care coverage, which became available on April 1, 2009.

Twenty-two states use or will use federal funds to provide prenatal care regardless of immigration status, under an option enabling states to provide prenatal services through CHIP. Under this option, the pregnant person’s fetus is technically the recipient of CHIP-funded services. This approach potentially limits the scope of services available to the pregnant person to those directly related to the fetus’s health. However, several states have used another CHIP option or state funds to provide 12 months of post-partum care, regardless of status.

The District of Columbia, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont use state or local funds to provide prenatal care regardless of the pregnant person’s immigration status.

Yes, Biden and the Democrats created a Shelter and Services program. $700+ million dollars to pay non-profits and cities to house and feed migrants. NGOs who bring the illegal immigrants here are also being given federal money. Many states and cities are using taxpayer dollars to house and feed migrants as well, most notably NYC. NYC taxpayers have spent billions in migrants.

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers the Shelter and Services Program (SSP) in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP):

Purpose
The SSP provides financial support to non-federal entities to provide sheltering and related activities to noncitizen migrants after they are released from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Who it's available to
The SSP is only available to state or local governments, or nonprofits providing services. FEMA does not provide funding directly to migrants.

How it works
The SSP supports CBP in the safe, orderly, and humane release of non-citizen migrants from short-term holding facilities.

Funding
For Fiscal Year 2024, Congress appropriated $650,000,000 for the SSP

Are you so deluded that you deny that the American taxpayer funds the US government? Or do you think it’s good when the money printer goes brrrrr and the value of the dollar in your wallet goes down?

Honestly… what point are you trying to make?

I did hear Eric Adam's say something the other day about 2 billion dollars NYC has spent sheltering and feeding migrants but that's only in NYC and they can afford it considering how much a martini cost there.

Hmmm...have you been in a public school lately in an area with large numbers of immigrants who don't speak English? SERVICES paid for with tax dollars: special education, medical care, glasses, school supplies, breakfasts, lunches, weekend snacks in bookbags, ESL support, etc. Not to mention instruction that's impacted by the presence of 50+% of students not able to speak English. The children are precious, but don't pretend there's no cost to taxpayers. Local govts (tax dollars) are also helping with housing costs.

It will be offset though by the tax savings we will get since our schools and hospitals will no longer be overrun. They will finally stop increasing our property taxes to keep paying for more and more schools and teachers who can teach ESL.

You also cannot place a price on our safety and national security. It was so disturbing when they reported how many ISIS affiliates had infiltrated in through our porous borders allowed by Biden, Harris, and the Dems.

Look, being hard-line about this is going to produce heartbreaking stories and photos. It will be a bitter pill. But you wouldn't have to go put people and families in detention centers if they never came here illegally or by gaming the asylum system in the first place. We are an autonomous country that is allowed to exist and have borders. Once we show spine and back bone about being tough on immigration, guess what? People will get the message to not even come and they won't take stupid risks to even try. Moral hazard. In the end, we will save many more lives and suffering by removing all incentives to coming here illegally in the first place. By allowing people in who are caught and released or who can stay for years by gaming the asylum system, you just keep encouraging more and more to take stupid risks and ruin our entire control over immigration. That's a far worse option that inadvertently causes much more suffering.

The US is a country of immigrants. Your ancestors came here illegally too. This land did not belong to them. It belonged to the millions of native Americans who were already living here.

The govt was not providing housing and medical expenses to them.

The government wasn’t using taxpayer dollars to provide housing, food, healthcare, and for illegal immigrants.

And the government isn't using taxpayer dollars to provide food and shelter for undocumented immigrants now. Stop being ridiculous.

Yes, Biden and the Democrats created a Shelter and Services program. $700+ million dollars to pay non-profits and cities to house and feed migrants. NGOs who bring the illegal immigrants here are also being given federal money. Many states and cities are using taxpayer dollars to house and feed migrants as well, most notably NYC. NYC taxpayers have spent billions in migrants.

Who is paying for their hotels? Food? Medical care?

Not US taxpayer dollars. Stop spreading lies. It does no one any good.

Emergency Medicaid
Illegal immigrants and their U.S. children are eligible for emergency Medicaid services.

School nutrition
All children, regardless of immigration status, are eligible for free or reduced school lunch.

WIC
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is available to all who qualify, regardless of immigration status.

Emergency shelter
Illegal immigrants may have short-term access to shelters and soup kitchens in emergency situations.

Public health
Illegal immigrants are not restricted from accessing public health programs that provide immunizations and treatment of communicable disease symptoms.

In-kind services
Illegal immigrants may have access to other in-kind services necessary to protect life or safety, such as medical, public health, and mental health services

The total cost of providing benefits to illegal immigrants is unknown because: Illegal aliens are not required to reveal their eligibility to receive certain benefits.

Officials are often prohibited from inquiring about the status of illegal alien

All Undocumented Immigrants Now Qualify For Medi-Cal In California. The new year rung in a host of new laws in California, including the expanded Medicaid coverage, nursing home disclosures, mental health measures, LGBTQ+ protections, and more.

Over half of the states have used state funds to provide TANF, Medicaid, and/or CHIP to immigrants who are subject to the five-year bar on federally funded services, or to a broader group of immigrants. A growing number of states and counties provide health coverage to children, young adults, or pregnant persons regardless of their immigration status. Several states offer or will offer health coverage to older adults regardless of their immigration status. And five states (California, Colorado, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington) and the District of Columbia offer or will offer public or private health coverage with state subsidies to all otherwise eligible immigrants regardless of their immigration status.

Where federal matching funds are available, forty-four states have chosen to cover immigrant children and/or pregnant people, or to provide prenatal care regardless of immigration status. In 2009, when Congress first reauthorized the CHIP program, states were granted an option to provide federally funded Medicaid and CHIP to “lawfully residing” children and/or pregnant persons regardless of their date of entry into the U.S. As of May 2024, thirty-eight states plus the District of Columbia have opted to take advantage of this federal funding for immigrant health care coverage, which became available on April 1, 2009.

Twenty-two states use or will use federal funds to provide prenatal care regardless of immigration status, under an option enabling states to provide prenatal services through CHIP. Under this option, the pregnant person’s fetus is technically the recipient of CHIP-funded services. This approach potentially limits the scope of services available to the pregnant person to those directly related to the fetus’s health. However, several states have used another CHIP option or state funds to provide 12 months of post-partum care, regardless of status.

The District of Columbia, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont use state or local funds to provide prenatal care regardless of the pregnant person’s immigration status.

Tax payers fund every program listed.

So this is bad, but spending hundred of millions to build detention facilities where US taxpayers will feed, clothes and houses millions of undocumented workers while there claims are adjudicated is good? Including those who are otherwise providing a societal benefit? And then there is the cost of hiring people to find them and transport them. There is the cost to re-renting their residences with no notice. The cost to re-hiring with no notice. All of this will be farmed out to contractors at an enormous cost, and they will have no incentive to do it quickly if it longer contracts mean more money in their pockets.

This post isn’t about whether undocumented workers should stay in the US. The post is about how to remove them if we are going that route.
