Not just the "trade war garbage" - the specific hypothetical no one has answered is this: "If all of those costs could total more than $9 billion, would you then agree that said solution [completely sealing the border] was worse than the problem?"

Ill play along. First off what is the 9billion figure. Second what do you mean by completely sealing the border. Third would this hypothetical include the obl favorite "roundups and mass deportations?

If we could get a sealed border for $9 billion total ($750 per illegal) all-inclusive cost, I'd take it in a heartbeat. We'd make it up in less than a year.
