The Left loves to warn conservatives that if we deport illegal immigrants, the price of our avocados will go up. This is supposed to do what, exactly? Make us ignore the realities of illegal immigration?
We spend $150 billion on illegals in this country every year. According to the last census, there are 331 million Americans, which means -- at a minimum -- we spend $453 per year, per person on illegal immigrants. That's $1,812 for a family of four. Each year. And those costs are only going to go up as illegals keep flooding the border.
We're supposed to be upset we might pay a dollar more for avocados. Got it.
Also, what price do we put on the lives of women like Laken Riley?
Denver's mayor, Mike Johnston, has vowed to resist any attempt by Donald Trump to deport illegal immigrants. Even though a 14-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in Denver as he said this. Denver has cut police/fire department budgets, threatened hourly city employees with layoffs, and reduced services at the parks department and DMV. To pay for illegals.
To the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars:
Sanctuary city Denver spending a whopping $356 million on migrants: study https://t.co/K2YAgcdvjs

Wow.
As Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston says he would be willing to go to jail over his opposition to the Trump mass-deportation plan, a new study claims the mayor’s Blue city has spent a whopping $356 million of taxpayers' hard-earned money on migrants.
The eye-popping sum, which amounts to $7,900 per foreign national in the city, was revealed by an updated analysis last week by the Common Sense Institut (CSI), a non-partisan research organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the U.S. economy.
The group says it used city data to land on the stunning sum, which equates to 8% of the city’s 2025 budget of $4.4 billion. The figures combine the city’s budget as well as regional education and healthcare organizations.

Just amazing.
And now my home state of SD is getting flooded with people from Denver who screwed up their own state and now want to bring their voting habits with them.

Like locusts.
How can the residents be okay with this?

All 50 states saw a rightward shift in the last election, so they're increasingly not.
It stops when voters say it stops.
The taxpayers who are paying for this are the same voters who voted for it.

Yes they do.
And Johnston said he wanted a 'Tiananmen Square' moment to defend this. (He has since walked that back)
Denver has about 716k residents. $356 million for illegal aliens is costing each resident about $497.

But AVOCADOS!
And he wants to use more taxpayer money to fund illegal’s legal fees to try to combat mass deportation!

Every single Democrat mayor who is saying this needs to watch the video of Laken Riley. Every single one.
They don't care about Laken Riley or any other citizen.
There is no conservative alternative to vote for in Denver. It’s just a matter of degree of leftism. https://t.co/o5iiSU3mPD

This is a failure of the GOP to field candidates in cities like Denver.
No Federal/taxpayer funds/aid~! https://t.co/sXBmWvtH05

Any city or state that doesn't cooperate should lose all federal funding and face consequences to the fullest extent of the law.
Colorado is truly a trash state. It doesn’t matter how many good folks are here this state has been trashed https://t.co/5sCKwgsOn0
