You are working under the assumption that every single mile would require 25 guards. I will suggest that number can be reduced to 6. Daylight crossings are not common. 3 guards for 24 hours performing actual guard/spotter duty per mile. 3 roving guards performing armed control per mile. Remember one armed man can control 100 unarmed men.
$175,000 ANNUALLY per guard seems reasonable considering rear support, etc.
$459,375,000,000.00 would be reduced to 1.15 billion. Just slightly over the one day cost of the war in Iraq.
If all public benefit applicants were scanned for US citizens only and employers were required to use 888-464-4218 before hiring anyone the costs of public benefit would be reduced rapidly. Quite so much that I am positive there would be a cost savings.

What would be the best way to get the feds to enforce the employers to stay away from illegal labor?
A year ago there were 11,000 border guards patrolling the 2,000 mile Mexican border. That's a ratio of 5.5 guards per mile. And the anti-illegals still call that an "open border". If 5.5 is "open border", 6 isn't going to be "sealed border."
And even if you reduced the cost, you still have the ability of 50 million per year jumping the border. (Plus the majority of illegals now who enter legally and stay after they become illegal).
"Sealing the border" is a political scam. Even if it were possible, we would never do it. But Congress will add a token number of guards and build a few fences just to make the anti-illegals feel better. Like most social issues, it's all symbolism.
How about using VISA &/or Master Charge for approving and keeping track of legal employees
They seem to rip up credit cards on the spot if a bad account is caught by phone/internet checks in mere seconds
Shred their state driver's license, illegal SS cards, other ID on the spot
If illegal aliens have a votor registration listed with the City Clerk - take them out and feed them to hungry gators!
If that seems extreme, think about the movie "Hannibal" - Heh Heh
Give merchants and their employees a bounty/bonus for mailing illegal alien's IDs
Take their photo (head shot) like merchants and banks and gun dealers do
Either that - or require a 5-15 day waiting period for feds to clear new employees and checks and licenses and IDs by those without credible info and US IDs
If that does not work - Col. Colt is willing and able
Mr. Senator - Mr. Congress(person-thing)
- Please list all of the federal criminal statutes and IRS regs that I can ignore and break please.....
Well, given that California is losing over 10,000,000,000 a year alone, I would say there would be a net cost in the tens of billions!
