Joe Biden’s massive flood of criminal illegals is costing the U.S. more than $r20 billion a year, according to reports.

According to data assembled by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the costs of Biden’s pandering to illegals, the costs of caring for the illegals is “staggering.”

Per Fox News:

The analysis is based on an estimated 1.3 million released into the U.S. by immigration officials, as well as approximately one million “gotaways” — or illegal immigrants who have slipped past overwhelmed agents. FAIR calculates that each illegal immigrants costs $9,232 a year to support.

The U.S. has been in the midst of a massive border crisis since early 2021, with more than 1.7 million migrant encounters in FY 2021, and more than two million in FY 2022 so far. While many of those encounters are repeat encounters, and nearly half are removed under Title 42 public health protections, a considerable number are released into the U.S. for asylum hearings.

DHS sources told Fox News that there have been more than 500,000 “gotaways” into the U.S. this fiscal year until July, making at least 900,000 gotaways in FY 21 and 22.

“Even in an age in which trillion dollar spending packages and are considered modest, the additional $20.4 billion the Biden Border Crisis has heaped onto the backs of American taxpayers is still staggering,” Dan Stein, president of FAIR, said in a statement. “$20.4 billion could address some very important needs of the American public, instead of covering the costs of the surge of illegal migration triggered by this administration’s policies.”

As HotAir’s Jazz Shaw noted, that is four billion more than it would have cost build the whole border wall.
