Works for Israel.
Why would anyone trust what NBC says on this issue?
Yeah. We can drop a trillion on fantasy ‘shovel ready’ jobs that just we not as shovel ready as we thought. But the idea of spending billions on border protection...well that’s just a ludicrous thought.
Government logic at it’s best.
American citizens are collateral damage to the pro Illegal Immigrant lobby.
Include in that weekend a couple dozen US lives saved and about 6,000 prevented rapes and robberies.
That’s ok with me. We should use the reparations money to pay for it and maintain the wall with the money that planned parenthood is getting from us.
And how insuffient is that number when all you have is a sign that says "U.S. border. Don't cross!"?
they’ve already allocated 700 Million to build a fence...
Where did that money go?
We just gave Iran $150 billion to buy weapons to use against us and Israel, so what’s the big deal?
All it would take is a pair of chain-link fences. With a minefield in the middle.
I’d say that would be money well spent.
Sounds like an American Jobs program.
There’s 10 agents per mile- sounds like more than enough...
And with the money will save NOT PAYING FOR ILLEGALS we can afford to hire more
We’ll save that in no time by not having to dish out “entitlements” to foreign nationals.
Trump said that in his plan, Mexico would pay for the fence.
It is estimated that illegal aliens cost us $130 billion a year. This doesn’t include the human and financial costs of criminal alien crime beyond incarceration costs.
Eliminate Government intervention in HealthCare, the Deptartments of Education, Energy, and HUD, and you can not only have a Big Fence, but a Moat full of Crocodiles and Pirhanas.
Eric Olson’s opinion is on the wrong side of this argument. We want a wall, we want our immigration laws that are on the books enforced! Obama is a father of two daughters, doesn’t he care about protecting the daughters of American fathers against the rapists & murderers that are flooding across the border because of his policy? Because of the Democrat & GOPe establishment policy? Don’t these politicians care about our children?
I agree. It is chump change for the federal government and I don’t have a problem with it.
So if it were 20 billion dollars, and if we have 12 million illegal immigrants, and taking into account that 40% are due to overstayed visas, you are looking at around $3,000 per person. The Obama administration spent $18 billion in 2012 alone on immigration enforcement. I’ve seen an estimate from FAIR of illegal immigration costing the country $100 billion a year.
