Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has revealed that the US government spent around $151 billion in 2023 on illegal immigration, which is 2.6 percent of the entire US government's $6.1 trillion in annual spending.
The DOGE X account posted numbers in relation to the amount spent on illegal immigration per year and said, "In 2023 alone, illegal immigration cost taxpayers $150.7 billion." DOGE added other numbers for context with adjusted inflation numbers, saying that World War 1 was $334 billion, the Apollo Space Program cost the government $257 billion, and the Manhattan Project amounted to $30 billion.
