The result of President Joe Biden‘s permissive folly at the southern border is that the immigrant population of the United States grew by a record 8 million people in the last four years, with over half that number entering the country illegally. This mass of foreigners who have no right to be here and are not wanted by American citizens has inflicted financial havoc on state and local governments. If Congress does not act, the illegal population will add to federal deficits as well.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, Biden’s failure to secure the border will add $300 billion to the federal deficit over the next 10 years. Other estimates place the financial burden of Biden’s illegal immigration wave to federal, state, and local governments at over $150 billion a year.
