Estimate: ~$9,000–$11,000 per illegal immigrant per year.
$9,000 x 16 = $144,000 per year they cost the taxpayer being here.

I hope ICE uses Penske trucks exclusively for this type of operations going forward.
Naw, I don’t want Penske essentially being subsidized by the federal government. Besides the American people deserve to know if the alternatives are whiny liberals too. Make it fun and encourage Vegas to get in on it like the dildo color betting. Will it be Avis? Hertz? Penske again?

Do you think DHS gives a frick what Penske policy is?
On one hand, if I were Penske, I'd just make no comment at all, but if Penske said anything other than what they said, their trucks would all be vandalized to no end. I like to think that Penske told DHS to do their thing but we are going to make a statement to try to control some of the damage.

So that is a cost for those illegal immigrants to be here for an entire year? We spent far more than that arresting and deporting them.
Hey, here’s another idea….how about we have all the ICE agents instead do the landscaping. Then there wouldn’t be a reason to be here illegally!

Why can't these ICE gentlemens go after the white folks who is be hiring them? Go for the head instead of clipping the finger nails and this bullshite would is be stopped.

Criminalizing rational business transactions used to be something conservatives hated.

Guess how much these 16 cost tax payers by using the ER every time they get sick or possibly accessing other healthcare-related or food-related programs? Now assume they have families here who are also illegals. 16 turns into 64 quick. Are those kids going to school in LA? It's likely. Now you have to dedicate schools in LA to teach these kids in Spanish (which they for sure do in Los Angeles). Now imagine all of the other resources they suck up that I can't even fathom. Now assume they're here for another 10 years. That cost adds up. You're short-sighted though so maybe that's too much heavy lifting?

You are correct, but that's a long, slow process, many of the business owners are Republicans, and it doesn't make for a good YouTube or TikTok clip.
The feds will sometimes go after business owners, but it's usually a small time operation, after either several warnings or in human trafficking for labor conditions.
But they do occasionally go after the big guys. Here's one:

NEW ORLEANS — In a rare move during President Trump’s mass deportation efforts, federal prosecutors criminally charged three former employees of a major US military contractor, alleging they knowingly hired and kept employing illegal immigrants at the company's southeast Louisiana shipbuilding facilities.
The US Attorney’s Office in New Orleans filed a charge of “unlawful employment of illegal aliens” against the former employees of Bollinger Shipyards, a company run for decades by Donald “Boysie” Bollinger, a Republican megadonor and the chairman of all three of Trump’s presidential campaigns in Louisiana.
The last time anyone was charged in southeast Louisiana under the same federal anti-harboring law was 1991, according to a search of the US court system’s case filing database, PACER. Prosecutions of employers for harboring undocumented immigrants is so rare, an analysis of federal court data by Syracuse University found that during a yearlong period in Trump's first term, from 2018 to 2019, only 11 people nationwide were charged with illegally employing undocumented migrants.
***
The three former Bollinger employees now charged with misdemeanors appeared in federal court Friday morning and were released without bond while they negotiate a plea deal. They include Paul Bollinger, a member of the Bollinger family and a former operations manager at Bollinger’s repair facility in Lockport.

Okay, I’m a Trump guy and I support deportations, but I have a couple questions in good-faith.
1. I thought ICE was only tracking down the criminals (and yes, I know illegal crossers are criminals by nature of being here illegally). So what’s the official take on this topic now?
2. How do they know all the people they nabbed are illegal? Are they just rounding up Hispanics outside of Home Depot and then checking their legal status? If that’s the case, it seems legally dubious.

is this a real question?
a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of paying for their rent, food, school, and healthcare.
This is a very obvious conclusion, but you’ve chosen to play the contrarian today or have been brainwashed into thinking open borders is a new positive for any country. which is it?

You ever seen Full Metal Jacket? You know that scene where the helicopter gunner is shooting field workers and says: "Anyone who runs is a VC. Anyone who stands still is a well-disciplined VC." That's the approach DHS/ICE is taking.

It's all fun and games until you need a new roof.

Yeah!
They can drink and drive recklessly without licenses or insurance, too!
And their kids can suck up ESL resources from the public schools and slowdown classroom after classroom of American children!

With illegal immigration exploding over the past (D)ecade plus, when has the cost of a new roof ever actually decreased? I’ll wait.
eta:
Some of the excuses many of you use to justify open border policies amazes me. It’s incredible. I genuinely encourage you to evaluate what these policies will do to our country over the next 20-30 years before you use the cost of roofs and blueberries to justify your underlying motives.

1. I agree, we should wait til an illegal kills a citizen to deport them. They just want a better life
2. No human is illegal. The Statue of Liberty
Look I’m a lib like you

I don't believe in open border policies. Just commenting on who does roofs. Also construction. My grandparents were legal immigrants. My grandfather joined the military.

I agree
We should’ve built the wall in like 1850
All down the eastern western and northern borders too

then you agree, there is a right way and a wrong way to enter this country (or any other), regardless of the cost of roofs and blueberries.
