Huh... would you look at that. A study done in 2023 showed that for every illegal and their child, it's costing the US $8,776 annually. 150 billion dollars a year after we deduct what illegals are paying in taxes. You are correct. That figure was off by $225 bucks! We should go with your gut more often.

Their study is off.  Illegal immigrants do not collect TANF, public housing, and many other things, unless they have a child who was born here.
This country would have a shortage of kids if not for those kids, unfortunately.
Also I'm sure they didn't count the property taxes and business taxes that the immigrants pay in the form of rent and retail prices.
