Fantastic response, great info. Thanks for that.
I completely agree regarding crime: you can’t put a price on all the intangible costs.
When someone’s murdered, for example, you can’t really quantify that, either in terms of quality of life, nor in terms of what they could’ve contributed (nor their families pain and suffering).
Yeah- the estimates figured in just basics- not intangibles- like for murder- they figured in the cost of a trial, cost of lawyer for the illegal- cost of appeals- cost of lost income from the deceased for his or her family- cost of imprisoning the illegal (It’s estimated that each inmate costs nearly $145 per day to house- (compared to many seniors disabled and veterans getting only around $20-$30 per day)- etc etc etc-
The intangibles- can’t put a price on that- people lives are ruined forever (That is why sins such as murder are ‘ongoing’ and need eternal punishment if the person doesn’t repent- sins like murder ‘grow outwards- affecting not just the victim, but their families, and their families for generations to come in many cases- it can literally change the course of destiny in a negative way-)
It is infuriating when liberals claim illegals help this country- Some may- sure- but the costs of illegals is enormous- A $25 billion dollar wall would be a no brainer bargain
