Boom: Wall would save taxpayers $64 billion in freebies for illegals
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/16/17 | Paul Bedard

Even if President Trump's border wall cost the highest estimation of $16 billion, it would save that amount in just the first three years of operation by eliminating the lifetime cost to taxpayers for letting 170,000 slip in every year, according to a new analysis.

The authoritative Center for Immigration Studies Thursday crunched the numbers in a new analysis and found that even if the wall failed to stop the bulk of illegals, it would still pay for itself in a decade by cutting welfare, education, and other associated lifetime costs to federal, state and local taxpayers to care for undocumented immigrants.

Huh. Imagine that. The Billionaire Real Estate guy from NYC might know a thing or two about cost saving and Return on Investment. What a shock.

Couldn’t we just cut off their money anyway? Non citizens should not be entitled to a dime of taxpayer money.

To steal a phrase from the Dims:

Pretty straight forward ROI decision.
We need to consider the north border and sea routes now, too.

Unfortunately, judges would differ on that.
IIRC, California had a referendum on that, it was passed, and a judge, all by his lonesome, overturned it. California wasn’t always the bowl of fruits, nuts, and flakes that it is today.

Matt Damon has a new movie out: The Great Wall. Apparently a pro-wall movie.

While we're lamenting the legions of vile stupid members of the press - it's nice to be reminded there are people like Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner. Men willing to walk away from 'current fashion idea of the week' and actually look at a situation - and report on it honestly.
