They probably add medical costs the government pays which is very little compared to what insurance and copays are. We pay a fortune to make up the deficit.
I paid 20% (with insurance for an MRI) that was quoted at $5,000. My 1000 paid for the actual cost of an MRI plus profit. The government gets a severely discounted rate.
“Each illegal alien or U.S.-born child of illegal aliens costs the U.S. $8,776 annually.”
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.”
Assuming there's 13 million illegals, that's 11538 each.
But that doesn't take into consideration how much wages are suppressed from them being here. It could be that without all that cheap labor, American citizens salaries would skyrocket.
Hmmm, well Eric Adams claims NYC spent $6.9 billion on 200k illegals, or $34,500 per. I'm pretty sure he didn't include the cost to educate 40k illegals and Medicaid for all.
The thing is he wasn't mad they wasted $6.9 billion, he's just mad the Feds didn't pick up the tab. He would gladly play along if the city were reimbursed. Free money for his dying city.
I d say your first number is per month, not per year.
No way that number is a yearly cost. Especially given the fact that it is a government expense.

It costs way more than that for them to be here.

That’s horrible math
Remember to figure in the education costs.
