The cost of not booting them is unlimited and continuously growing so if it’s $400B then so be it - better to spend it to get rid of them than to spend it supporting them and funding our destruction as a country.
That's the key point right there. And the same goes with active criminals. I read somewhere that the cost of imprisoning the average felon is something like $50,000 a year. But that felon on the loose does something like $200,000 worth of damage per year.
I might be a bit off with those numbers, but you get the point.
“The cost of not booting them is unlimited and continuously growing...”
EXACTLY!!!
There is an additional, hidden price, associated with every immigrant, particularly the illegal ones. It is the money that they remove from our economy and ship home to their relatives.
Economies are based on money circulation. Every dollar sent overseas supports some other economy and not ours. It makes no difference if the dollars are “lost” due to foreign aid or personal transfers -they aren’t circulating inside the US and helping our economy.

If we enforced the laws on the books it would be much less.
