That is a lot less then Trump is costing the American taxpayer. However, where is your source for that number?

Myth #1: Immigrants take more from the U.S. government than they contribute
Fact: Immigrants contribute more in tax revenue than they take in government benefits
A 2017 report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine found immigration “has an overall positive impact on the long-run economic growth in the U.S.”
How that breaks down is important.
First-generation immigrants cost the government more than native-born Americans, according to the report — about $1,600 per person annually. But second generation immigrants are “among the strongest fiscal and economic contributors in the U.S.,” the report found. They contribute about $1,700 per person per year. All other native-born Americans, including third generation immigrants, contribute $1,300 per year on average.
It is difficult to determine the exact cost or contribution of unauthorized immigrants because they are harder to survey, but the study suggests they likely have a more positive effect than their legal counterparts because they are, on average, younger and do not qualify for public benefits.
It’s also important to note that less-educated immigrants tend to work more than people with the same level of education born in the U.S. About half of all U.S.-born Americans with no high school diploma work, compared to about 70 percent of immigrants with the same education level, Giovanni Peri, an economics professor at the University of California, Davis, said in a recent interview with PBS NewsHour.
In general, more people working means more taxes — and that’s true overall with undocumented immigrants as well. Undocumented immigrants pay an estimated $11.6 billion a year in taxes, according to the Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy

"2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"

WATCH: Donald Trump Says ‘Every Single Democrat in the US Senate Has Signed Up for…the Open Borders Bill’
However the President’s supporters are repeating misinformation from Trump’s speech online as a rallying cry to get people to vote for Republicans in the upcoming 2018 midterm elections. Which was the point of the lie about a nonexistent Democrat sponsored Open Borders Bill. Donald Trump is pro

Pretty sure you hope that they wind-up on someone else's property. It's kind of like how Seattle leftists are unaffected by all of the street junkies who walk through my backyard to get to the wetland where they hang out. It would please me greatly if the street junkies up in the city would start tearing through wealthy neighbourhoods and setting fire to houses.
