No d’uh. It’s interesting because it’s a more scholarly take, coming from a (notoriously right-wing) “libertarian” think tank.

When you combine the likely cost of mass deportation with the lost fiscal benefits from recent illegal immigrants, reversing the “Biden Border Crisis” will end up imposing almost $6 trillion in costs on U.S. taxpayers.

    Yeah I saw that right after the election. And have been trying to enlighten some friends about it who are minimizing what’s about to happen.

      Yeah a lot of people are like, “it won’t happen.” And I sure hope they’re right. Fortunately for me, I live in a state where this won’t be so quick to happen… so I’ll have enough warning to get out.
