Let me do some cost/benefit analysis.

A wall will cots abut $10 billion...

Expensive strawberries, especially with the poo.

[robroys woman]

Hey, maybe after this tax bill is passed, California can increase their income tax to help pay for the illegals!

This will be so much fun - IF that bill actually passes.

[RightField]

My state of Florida has a high price tag, yet we don't have state income tax.
Good to know, I guess.

[robroys woman]

yet we don’t have state income tax.

That is about $700 per US citizen per year in Nevada, where I live. Money better spent hunting them down and getting them out of our communities.

Do not forget the wealth that these ‘immigrants’ send back to their dependents in their home countries - estimated to be $28 Billion for all migrants in 2016.

[Vaduz]

You just confused the media.

Expensive strawberries, especially with the poo.

Especially after you factor in all the costs associated with the medical care required for the Hep A outbreaks. Had an otherwise healthy relative spend 3 days in the hospital due to Hep A which was traced back to likely fecal contaminated strawberries.

Mangoes for me. Three weeks in the hospital and a few feet of plumbing had to be cut out, along with an appendix and then peritonitis.The operating doctor told me to always wash the fruit very well and to only eat a little bit. Then wait a few hours to see how you react. If infected with e-coli or such, you feel sick pretty quick.

[Svartalfiar]

Overall, costs associated with illegal immigrants is much higher for state and local governments than the federal government.

...Costs ARE much higher... Sigh.

[bgill]

Most popular last names in CA - Garcia, Hernandez, Lopez. Hmm, ya think there might be a correlation between last names and $$$$$ to illegals:

[Obadiah]

Wow.

[Cobra64]

The next time someone moans about the $20 billion cost of The Wall, remember this statistic:

”When federal costs are included, the price tag nationally soars to $135 billion a year.”

That’s $135 billion ANNUALLY.

[VTenigma]

The number is low by a factor of 8.

[factoryrat]

Taxes are for the little people.

The socialist-democrat/republican cronies laugh at all you on their way to the bank.

Oh, and all of those corporate globalist cronies thank you, american taxpayer, and especially california and texas, for subsidizing their illegal alien workforce.

[American in Israel]

Just spending money Americans won’t get to.
