So true. The cost of welfare payouts alone is enough to build the wall.
While we’re squeezing Mexicans for money to build the wall, we should squeeze a few billion out of the Cartels somehow...right before we murder their drug peddling asses in their own country.
Just the reduced cost of government-provided (taxpayer-provided) benefits will more than cover the cost of the wall. Imagine how many illegals sit in our public schools right now. At, what $8000-12,000 per student per year. Plus free lunch. SSI. Section 8. Plenty of states pay benefits as well as the federal government.
And think about all the overcrowded roads in southern California. Imagine them with no illegals clogging them up.
The Drug Trade Deficit with Mexico is larger than the Other Trade Deficit.
And all the Fed $$ the sanctuary cities will not be receiving because they refuse to comply can be re-directed to the wall. That might just make their collective heads explode.
How much does it cost to birth an anchor baby? How much for welfare for the anchor baby for at least 18 years?
15 to 25 billion? Is that Trump’s estimate? I ask because it swings by two thirds again and THAT doesn’t sound like Trump.
How is it that the press keeps upping the price of this wall?
Hit it right on the nail. Always thought the wall would pay for itself. Then we just need to set rules to play nicely over, under and around the thing.
