Dear John,
Congress is currently debating how much federal funding should be spent on immigration enforcement and border security.
It’s important to understand how much taxpayer money we have already spent on immigration enforcement—and the outcomes produced.
The American Immigration Council’s fact sheet provides you with an overview of the Department of Homeland Security’s spending on immigration enforcement since it was created in 2003 [[link removed]] :

The
U.S.
has
spent
an
estimated
$381
billion
on
immigration
enforcement
since
2003
alone.

Customs
and
Border
Protection’s
annual
budget

in

Border security is important, but we must spend taxpayer money in smart and efficient ways while also continuing to honor our commitment to serve as a safe haven.
Knowing more about our current practices will help us envision a better border.
Sincerely,
