They took it on in the first place because the US government under Biden had stopped building walls. Someone had to do something, so the State of Texas stepped up. Now that Trump is back, the task should rightly go back to the Feds. At least the Texans did something.
When ALL the costs are added up, both direct costs snd indirect incidental costs, illegals cost this nation over 1 TRILLION dollars every single year!
Spending a mere $25, or even say $50 billion dollars just once on the border wall will save us from 950 to 975 billion dollars per year (provided that we deport all of the illegals that are here NOT working and just collecting government money!
Deport all the illegals costing us money, even if it costs us $100 billion to deport and another $50 billion to finish the wall, and we’ve just saved nearly $1 TRILLION DOLLARS every single year! For a piddly expennse of $50 billion!
Heck, even if we spent $1 trillion dollars deporting and building, it would only be a 1 time expense, and we’d save over a trillion dollars every single year after that! (The cost of illegals Wil just be going g up, going through the roof, in years to come if we don’t act now- and will soon explode well past 1 trillion per year.
The left love to say that illegals ‘only cost. Us about $100 billion every year” but that is a flat out lie- they commit crimes that have have devastating long term effects that the left refuse to acknowledge!
For instance, when a drunk illegal murders a legal citizen, say the father of a family, or the bread winner of the family, that family doesn’t just have to pay for a funeral, they have to pay for psychiatrists to help them cope, they have to pay lawyer costs, court costs, pay to get education so that someone else can fill the finacisl,void, pay hospital bills, on and on it goes these are all indirect costs related to just one senseless death caused by an illegal. And it is these incidental costs (and many many more) that the left refuses to count- the low ball estimate of all the costs is staggering as is the higher end which these days is c.osd to, or more than $1 trillion by now.
Are Texans to dumb to place ads in newspaper’s help wanted former East German fence installer/ maintainers experience a must. Combined with a fuck ton of barbed wire entanglements & toe Popper land mines or “Bouncing Betty’s you vcou seal the Tex Mex border for hell of a lot less than 3 billion bucks!
