President Donald Trump on Tuesday said undocumented immigrants pose a substantial fiscal burden to the United States, claiming each "costs American taxpayers an estimated $70,000." Speaking about immigration and the federal budget, he added that public schools spend a combined $78 billion on translators for children who do not speak English. Trump argued that reversing what he called the "Biden migration invasion" would be the single most effective step toward balancing the federal budget. He said the forthcoming "One Big Beautiful Bill" would include provisions and funding aimed at curbing illegal immigration and reducing related expenditures. No draft text or cost estimate for the legislation has yet been released.
