Just for perspective.
Federal Government Spent More on Food Stamps in 1 Month Than Trump Wants for 1 Year on Wall
....information from the Department of the Treasury confirmed that the federal government spent $5,892,000,000 on food stamps through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
And that was just for one month.

It has always amazed me why WE have never framed “the wall” in economic terms like this.
Joe six packs understand money.
Unlike congress critters, we have to balance our check books every month.
Iirc recent numbers prove the open borders immigration/migration/invasion welfare cost taxpayers have to absorb is unsustainable.
Somebody in DC has got to come to their senses..... quick
The wall pays for itself in one year.
If there are actually 12 million illegals here (which is the number they have said for over a decade as if it hasn’t increased) which I believe it is higer. The wall will pay for it over and over and over.
At the federal, state, and local levels, taxpayers shell out approximately $134.9 billion to cover the costs incurred by the presence of more than 12.5 million illegal aliens, and about 4.2 million citizen children of illegal aliens. That amounts to a tax burden of approximately $8,075 per illegal alien family member
