FAIR’s most recent comprehensive fiscal cost study showed that illegal aliens and their U.S.-born children impose a net annual cost of $150.6 billion per year on American taxpayers as of the beginning of 2023.

According to the previous (2017) cost study, the annual net cost of illegal migration was approximately $116 billion.[2] This means that in the short span of 5 years, the annual cost to American taxpayers has increased by nearly $35 billion.

When further adjusted for the increased illegal alien population growth demonstrated by this report, taxpayers are being set up for annual spending to the tune of $163 billion and counting. This burden will only continue to grow due to the Biden administration’ s open-borders policies.
