United States President Barack Obama’s administration, according to new reports, has released 37,477 illegal immigrants into unsuspecting American counties. Nearly 38,000 minors who crossed the U.S.’s southern border earlier this year have come before one of the nation’s 227 immigration judges. Merely 280 of the minors have been deported. The remaining minors have been granted permission to remain within the U.S.

But the American public was promised by the current administration that the majority of the illegal minors would be deported. “The bottom line, though, is that the law will be enforced. And what that means is it means that these children who have been apprehended will go through the immigration court process,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said during a briefing. “It’s unlikely that most of the kids who go through this process will qualify for humanitarian relief, which is to say that most of them … will not be found through that court process to have a legal basis to remain in this country.”

“Our message is absolutely don’t send your children unaccompanied on trains or through a bunch of smugglers,” President Obama told abc’s Good Morning America. “That is our direct message to the families in Central America. Do not send your children to the borders. If they do make it, they’ll get sent back. More importantly, they might not make it.”

“[T]hey’ll get sent back,” he said, but the latest reports don’t match the president’s words.

Sixty-five percent of illegal immigrant children have been approved to stay in the country so far this year. But since July, the approval rate skyrocketed to 99.3 percent. As of last month, illegal minors have a 0.7 percent chance of being sent home.

Director of Policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies Jessica Vaughan believes these figures will only encourage more illegal minors to breach the U.S. border. “The priority of the administration is to release the individuals to the United States. They are not trying to persuade people coming here,” she said.

The release of these illegal minors comes at a great cost to the United States socially and economically. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (fair) estimated the state of Texas would spend $12.1 billion on illegal aliens in 2013. This figure was released before the latest surge of illegal minors and other illegal aliens in 2014. According to the report, that “amounts to more than $1,197 for every Texas household headed by a native-born or naturalized U.S. citizen. The taxes paid by illegal aliens—estimated at $1.27 billion per year—does not come close to paying for these outlays.”

This is the fiscal burden facing just one of the affected states, but illegal minors are being sent all over the country. Every state will feel the pinch.

Robert Rector and Jason Richwine, Ph.D., conducted an independent study on the fiscal cost of illegal immigrants to the U.S. taxpayer. They reported that as of 2010, all illegal immigrants in the country would cost taxpayers $6.3 trillion in government benefits over a lifetime. That was calculated at 2010 levels of illegal immigrants, imagine what the 2014 cost would be.

The financial burden to the U.S. economy will only increase. It is expected that 142,000 illegal minors will cross the border during 2015. The influx of illegal minors into the U.S. will not stop. American states will become overburdened with these minors, as they drain the states’ resources.
