The Cato Institute estimated that 83,698 illegal immigrants were incarcerated in 2018.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that 51,074 known or suspected aliens were in DOJ custody at the end of fiscal year 2019. Of those, 94% were unlawfully present in the United States.
Of the 64,124 cases reported to
the Commission in fiscal year
2023, 21,504 involved non-U.S
citizens. Non-U.S. citizens
accounted for 33.7% of all
individuals sentenced in fiscal
year 2023.
It costs U.S. tax payers and average of $2,784,967,252 a year to keep these illegal immigrants in our jails and prison.
Simply deporting these illegal immigrants would save the United States almost $3 Million.
This facet of mass deportation not only sounds reasonable, it’s something that should’ve been implemented a long time ago.
Here’s a thought, there is an estimated 35,574 homeless veterans in America. If you built houses for about $150,000 and moved 2 homeless veterans into each house, it would only cost $2,668,050,000 to house all of our homeless veterans.
Providing that we gave assistance to finding jobs for these veterans we could end homeless for our veterans in just a couple years simply with the money we saved from emptying our prisons and jails of illegal immigrants, and have money left over.
