President Donald Trump spent nearly$ 500 million sending the National Guard to a number of cities last year, according to a report from the Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ).

$ 496 million was allocated to the application of law enforcement over the course of almost seven decades when the national administration decided to increase safety procedures and punishments of illegal immigrants in places like Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, New Orleans, Memphis, Tennessee, Oregon, and Washington, DC. According to the CBO record to Senator Jeff Merkley, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee, the amount of money that will be allocated to sending more National Guard troops to areas with high crime or refugee populations could rise depending on the breadth of the activities being carried out. The costs of these or other upcoming deployments are "highly questionable," mainly because it is difficult to predict exactly the size, length, and location of such deployments. This uncertainty is made worse by legal disputes that have prevented deployments in some cities as well as by changes to" Administration policies," he mentions in one section of the 10-page document. The Oregon senator requested all of this information so that the cost of Donald Trump's anti-immigrant policies and approach would be known. The people of America deserve to be aware. According to a press release from the CBO, how much of the government's hard-earned money is being wasted on Trump's reckless and random deployment of National Guard personnel in Portland and other cities across the country. However, depending on the cost of living in the chosen city, the additional monthly cost for each 1,000 employees would be between$ 18 and$ 21 million.
