Don't you think it would be cost effective to secure our Southern border? Illegal aliens cost this country $113 billion just in education, health care, and prison costs a year. This does not include the tens of thousands of American citizens who have been killed and injured by illegal aliens. And the social costs of drugs transported across that border are enormous.

Add to this the 300,000 to 400,000 anchor babies born each year to illegal aliens, most of them receiving Medicaid, food stamps, and welfare as American citizens. The fence would pay for itself many times over in just a year.
