Fact-Check Results:

This claim is false.

There is no evidence that migrants have stolen $18 billion from any single U.S. state. The highest reported spending by a city (New York) on migrant support is $12 billion, which is public funding for services, not theft. Additionally, while there is a Senate bill proposing nearly $6 billion for refugee programs in 2026, this is part of standard appropriations and not a response to any theft. You can verify these facts by checking official city and federal budget documents, as well as reputable news sources.
