Nightmare: DACA Amnesty DREAM Act Will Cost $115 Billion Thanks to Obamacare

Taxpayers in the United States will face a steep bill if the Trump administration signs legislation to extend legal status to so-called “Dreamers,” the illegal aliens who arrived as children and are now protected under the Obama-holdover unlawful executive order known as DACA.

The cost of a legislation to legalize childhood arrivals is likely to be far higher than earlier attempts because of Obamacare’s health insurance subsidies. The Affordable Care Act subsidizes the costs of health insurance for millions of Americans and would likely foot the bill for many of those whose residency in the U.S. would be legalized by the DREAM Act.

The numbers are striking. The DREAM Act of 2017, the most likely vehicle for extending DACA protections and making them permanent, would raise federal outlays by $115 billion dollars, according to a Breitbart News analysis. Nearly all of that would be paid for by additional deficit spending.

I'll give Obama one thing...he's isn't stupid! Don't you believe he understood this issue and the cost associated? Just one more thing he did to further downgrade our country and the economy. He had a plan and executed it very well until some people actually caught on. He was and still is the head rat in DC.

Just another reason to deport them and let them enter the right way. This deportation should include those over staying visas of all types. Americans are fed-up with supporting illegals and ones expecting to be supported by others.
