Exclusive — Bernie Moreno: We Spend $110,000 Per Illegal Migrant Per Year, More than Twice What ‘the Average American Makes’
Americans spend $110,000 per illegal migrant per year, Republican Senate candidate for Ohio Bernie Moreno said during an appearance on
Breitbart News Daily, where he spoke about what a true America first policy looks like.
Responding to criticism that Republicans do not have a heart for migrants, Moreno — a legal migrant to America born in Colombia — said he does have a heart for them, but he also has a heart for America.
“I’m a legal immigrant. I don’t want immigrants coming to this country by paying drug cartels, being smuggled across our border, being raped, being beaten. I want them to be invited here under our terms, the same way you would invite me to your home,” he explained.
“In the case of immigration, here in America, you’ve got to learn the language. You make sure you assimilate. No government benefits. You have to add to our economy and never lower wages. And if you fit that criteria, we’re going to bring people in the right way. We’re not going to have you pay drug cartel members, not learn English, not assimilate, and take government benefits,” Moreno said.
“We’re flying people in from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela on private jets, dumping them into American cities and putting them on welfare and food stamps and unemployment, giving them Social Security and Medicare,” he said, describing that as “abject insanity” that does not benefit the country.
Americans spend $110,000 per illegal migrant per year, more than twice what "the average American makes," Republican Senate candidate for Ohio Bernie Moreno said.
