conix, a one-sided coin that post of yours. From it

"When we sum all the figures, including $11.9 billion for the uninsured and another $6.6 billion in tax subsidies,
we arrive at a grand total of $18.5 billion in subsidized health care for all unauthorized immigrants in 2016.
"

With your - "All told, Americans cross-subsidize health care for unauthorized immigrants to the tune of $18.5 billion a year "

yet the other side of the coin is omitted.

The best estimates come from research by the Institute of Taxation and Economic Policy, a Washington, DC, think tank, which suggests that about half .. https://itep.org/wp-content/uploads/ITEP-2017-Undocumented-Immigrants-State-and-Local-Contributions.pdf .. of undocumented workers in the United States file income tax returns. The most recent IRS data, from 2015, shows that the agency received 4.4 million income tax returns from workers who don’t have Social Security numbers, which includes a large number of undocumented immigrants.

Your suggestions that unauthorized immigrants are a drain on social security,
the health system and/or the economy has been refuted many times to you here.

Re Trump's illegal immigrant crime wave claim.

Immigrants and crime: Crunching the numbers
By Catherine E. Shoichet, CNN
Updated 0336 GMT (1036 HKT) July 9, 2015

In his recent push for building a massive wall on the southern U.S. border, Trump has said that there are "hundreds of thousands" of undocumented immigrants in the nation's state and federal prisons. It was a claim that the PolitiFact fact-checking website gave a "mostly false" rating.

"The basic claim is at best unsustainable or more likely pure fiction. A fact created out of thin air," Ramiro Martinez, a criminal justice professor at Northeastern University, told PolitiFact.
