The cost of supporting illegal aliens for various countries in America (food, shelter, healthcare, schooling, incarceration, etc, etc) is into the hundreds of billions of tax payer dollars a year. America ALSO pays billions in financial aid to all of these countries to address their economic hardships which is supposed to help create jobs to prevent citizens of those countries leave there and to sneak into America.
So these countries are hitting us from both sides: We pay for their illegal citizens here plus give their home countries aid.
My suggestion is to deduct from the yearly aid we give to these countries the cost of what the American tax payer is paying for them here. For example, say we give Mexico $500,000,000 a year in economic aid, BUT, all the illegals specificqlly from Mexico that are in America illegally cost the American tax payer $400,000,000 a year. Then deduct that amount from that 500,000,000 in aid we freely hand Mexico and Mexico now gets $100,000,000 in economic aid.
America should NOT have to pay for illegals here AND for citizens in their own country!
If America implements that policy it will help curb illegal aliens because we all know the leaders of those country’s pocket at least 1/3 of that aid for themselves. Hit them in their check book and they will begin helping America stop illegal alien crossings and even help retrieve illegals from America.
