Taxpayers are not only funding the border crisis, but they are also paying for numerous free services illegal foreign nationals receive, according to a new report published by the House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement.
The committee blames the Biden administration in its new report, "Chauffeur at the Border, Concierge in the Interior: How the Biden Administration Rewards Illegal Aliens on the Taxpayers' Dime" for costs to U.S. taxpayers.
The report states that the Biden administration funneled tens of millions of taxpayer money to facilitate illegal entry into the U.S. and also provided "Support services" to illegal foreign nationals "At the expense of border security and public safety."
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' newly created U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Alternatives to Detention program, for example, "Serves as a taxpayer-provided windfall for illegal aliens to receive social services once they are inside the United States," it states.
Taxpayer money is also funding an ATD subprogram, the Young Adult Case Management Program, which provides illegal foreign nationals with free services, including legal orientation programs, legal service provider referrals, social services referrals, mental health support, among others.
The report was released after the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security previously released several reports identifying costs to taxpayers stemming from Biden administration border policies.
A separate Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services report found that "Emergency services for undocumented aliens" added up to $7 billion in fiscal 2021 and $5.4 billion in fiscal 2022, with taxpayer money funding at least $8 billion in improper Medicaid payouts.
