Spain's government spent $2bn on Illegals, But Spent Just $70m on Border Protection in 2025

Headline of the day! Maybe the numbers are somewhat incorrect, but in general such a large spending gap is probably in the ballpark.

"... In contrast, the Spanish government spent just €60 million ($70m) to stop illegal migration, €20 million ($23.4m) of which was funded by a grant from the European Union’s Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex), making Madrid’s overall spending on protecting its borders even smaller.

Out of that €60 million, the Spanish Interior Ministry barely spent €20 million last year to reinforce border security. Of the € 1.8 billion spent to support migrants once they have arrived in Spain, the costs are widely spread across the state. ..."

Spain Gave $2bn to Illegals, But Spent Just $70m on Border Protection "The Spanish government spent over €1.8 billion of taxpayers’ money last year attending to the needs of illegal migrants in the country, while spending only a tiny fraction of that, €60 million, funding efforts to stop them from arriving in the first place."
