Trump last November:
Under crooked Joe Biden, the U.S. government has spent nearly $1 billion to house illegal aliens and foreign migrants in expensive, luxury hotels courtesy of you, the American taxpayer, and they want to spend billions and billions more.

States used $350 billion from the pandemic-era American Rescue Plan to assist illegal immigrants.
Medicaid spending on emergency services for illegal immigrants increased by $16.2 billion under Biden, a 124% rise from the Trump administration period
Around 59.4% of illegal immigrant households use one or more welfare programs, with higher participation than U.S.-born households in most programs.
