White House Releases Report on Economic Costs of "Open Borders" Policies and Highlights Border Security Achievements

The White House published a report by the Council of Economic Advisers, asserting that "extreme liberal Democrats' mass amnesty – open borders agenda" could cost American taxpayers $49 trillion over ten years. The report claims that the lifetime cost of an undocumented immigrant in the U.S. is estimated at $166,716. Concurrently, the Trump Administration highlighted its border security efforts, including the signing of the Laken Riley Act to detain undocumented immigrants charged with violent crimes and the Secure America Act to fund federal law enforcement.
