billion in total yearly expenses for services like education, healthcare, law enforcement, and welfare for illegal aliens and their dependents, offset by about $31 billion in taxes they pay. Key costs include:

Education: $78 billion for K-12 schooling, with $70.4 billion borne by state and local governments.

Healthcare: $42.7 billion for medical services.

Criminal Justice: $47 billion for law enforcement and related expenses.

These figures highlight the significant fiscal impact on public resources.

Cost of Current Demonstrations

The financial toll of current demonstrations is harder to pinpoint due to their variability, but it is clear they also strain taxpayer funds. Costs stem from:

Law Enforcement: Police overtime and resources, with cities like New York and Los Angeles spending millions per event.

Property Damage and Economic Disruption: Past protests, like those in 2020, caused billions in damages and lost revenue, suggesting current events follow a similar pattern on a potentially smaller scale.

While precise data for ongoing demonstrations is limited, their cumulative impact—ranging from millions to potentially billions depending on scale—adds a notable burden to taxpayers.

Conclusion

Both illegal immigration and current demonstrations present significant costs to American taxpayers. The former is a well-quantified annual expense of $150.7 billion, while the latter varies widely but remains a meaningful concern. Addressing these challenges is critical to reducing their financial strain on public resources.
