And?

Just think of all the money and lives and WAY of life we'll be saving in the long run. 

How much money was spent on free shit, walls, fences, barriers, housing, credit cards, phones, etc., for illegals already.

Housing and Shelter: Providing temporary or longer-term housing, especially for new arrivals at the border or in sanctuary 
cities. This includes emergency shelters and, in some cases, hoteling.

Food and Nutrition Programs: This can include direct provision of meals or eligibility for programs like Food Stamps 
(Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - SNAP) and child nutrition programs, especially for U.S.-born children of 
undocumented immigrants.

Healthcare:

Emergency Medical Services: Federal law requires Medicaid to cover emergency medical conditions for undocumented immigrants if 
they would otherwise qualify for Medicaid.

Uncompensated Care: Costs incurred by hospitals for care provided to uninsured undocumented individuals.

Medicaid/CHIP: For U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants, and in some states, broader Medicaid coverage for undocumented 
individuals.

Obamacare Premium Tax Credits and Cost-Sharing Subsidies: In some contexts, these may be accessed, though PRWORA generally bars 
undocumented immigrants from most federal welfare programs.

Education (K-12): Public education for children, regardless of their immigration status, is a significant cost primarily borne by 
state and local governments.

Welfare Programs:

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG)

Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC): While intended for taxpayers, loopholes or specific circumstances can 
allow undocumented individuals to receive these as cash payments, often on behalf of U.S.-born children.

Pell Grants and Student Loans: For eligible individuals, though undocumented immigrants are generally ineligible for federal 
financial aid for higher education unless specific state laws apply.

Head Start

Border Management and Processing:

Border Patrol and Enforcement: Funding for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for 
agents, technology, and operations.

Detention Facilities: Costs associated with holding individuals in immigration detention centers.

Legal Processing: Funds for immigration courts, legal aid, and processing asylum claims or deportation orders.

Transportation: Costs for transporting individuals within the U.S. (e.g., from border to processing centers, or to other cities) 
and for deportations.

Border Wall Construction: Funding for physical barriers at the border.

Other Costs:

Public Safety/Law Enforcement: Costs incurred by local police, fire, and other emergency services that expand as new populations 
enter a community.

Judicial and Incarceration Costs: For undocumented individuals involved in the criminal justice system.

Social Services and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs): Government funding is sometimes provided to NGOs and humanitarian 
groups that assist immigrants, including providing shelter, food, transportation, and legal services, particularly for those 
recently arrived.

Infrastructure: General population-based services like highways, parks, and utilities that expand with population growth.

Emergency Funding: Special allocations, such as through FEMA, for managing migrant surges.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was 
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people 
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
