Notice the smaller print “& their U.S.-born children” and that 14.4B of the 25.3B (57%) is for education. Yup, educating American citizens is an expensive investment in our nation’s future. I assume much of the health care and other services apply to these kids too, probably bringing it up to 85% with most of the rest being the overly expensive deportation system in the “law enforcement” category.
It’s really just a rant against investing in poor kids with immigrants as the proxy.
