Several things here:

1. It's a shame you're not holding the Biden admin accountable for the cleanup cost of his exercise of knowingly courting, paying for, and allowing 10+ million unvetted immigrants into the country. All trump is doing is enforcing the law Biden disregarded - that doesn't count the Billions into NGO via USAID that was spent in bringing these people in.

2. That budget is big now, but will go down once the cleanup of this immoral, unhumane mess is complete.

3. The countries with military budgets lower than this have no power in the world - who cares - they don't defend themselves or other countries as you require the US to do (see Ukraine).

4. The cost to federal, state and local governments is in the billions to just have these people here.

5. How much are US lives worth? What's a rape, murder, kidnapping, carjacking worth to you?

You support sending 100s of BILLIONS to Ukraine across the globe but don't support spending this to protect US citizens?

There are approximately 3.7 million unlawful immigrant households in the U.S. These households impose a net fiscal burden of around $54.5 billion per year.

2. What is the total annual cost of illegal immigration?

“At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion.”

“Opposition to illegal immigration is not opposition to legal immigration. In fact, the people I find who are the angriest about illegal immigration are the legal immigrants who have played by the rules, waited patiently in line, and are now watching millions of illegal migrants cut in line in front of them. And if we're going to encourage and reward illegal immigration, which is a clear and consistent policy of the Democrats today, then there's no point in legal immigration.”
