Reparations for Illegal Aliens May Cost Americans Up to $2.2 Trillion

Providing reparations to 11 to 22 million illegal aliens — as South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg has said he supports — could potentially cost American taxpayers up to $2.2 trillion.

In a 2014 analysis by The Nation, Columbia University economist Suresh Naidu estimated that reparations could cost anywhere between $22,000 to $101,000 per illegal alien. Those costs are based on depressed and lost wages for illegal aliens taking American jobs in the workforce.

The largest estimate, in which $101,000 is given to every illegal alien, would mean American taxpayers are forced to pay $2.2 trillion for illegal alien reparations.

Should only reparations be given to the roughly eight million illegal aliens who are estimated to be in the U.S. workforce, American taxpayers would be billed about $808 billion.

During the PBS/Politico Democrat debate on Thursday evening, Buttigieg vowed to provide reparations to millions of illegal aliens in the U.S. — a plan that has been floated by the open borders lobby.

Will this last another 250+ years the way slavery reparations have lasted? It just gets worse and worse.

This seemed so incredibly bonkers, even for Buttigieg who I think is a nutter, that I couldn't help but hit Google to find out why the crap this dude was an advocate for something like this.

What I found is that he has said he would support compensating the approximately 5500 families who were affected by Trump/Spencer/Sessions experiment in deterrent. It appears that there's already a small group moms who have filed suit, and that the ACLU is moving forward with their own as well.

Taking the high-end estimate from Brietbart, $55mil might be a steal compared to the potential of individual suit settlements.

Just out of curiosity, can you link me directly to Buttigieg's comments where he promises reparations for all illegal immigrants and not just those 5,500 or so families impacted by the separation policy? Also how does a study done in 2014 give us any understanding of the cost impact on a problem that didn't really crop up until 2017?

ETA: I see Steuss was faster on the draw on this one.

Once an illegal immigrant gets a foot on US soil, the taxpayer is on the hook forever.

Are we free? No, we're tax chattel subject to the will of the deep state, a power that doesn't answer to democratic elections.

So where did Ajax get his ridiculous numbers from? Is the Breitbart calculator being run by a Trump University semi-graduate?

Exactly.

I have no idea why The Base insists on playing up the self-characterization that they’re all either liars or morons.

Pro tip: if you see "reparations," "illegal aliens" and "ajax" on the same line, you can bet it's leading you to some BS breitbart article.
