Trump’s Wall Costs $21.6 Billion; Illegal Immigration Costs $148.3 Billion Per Year

Cute ---- but, of course, physically impossible. When you make shit up, you need to do MUCH better. Otherwise, some here are going to think you're just a liberal troll.

You are the real lying troll.

If Mexicans have that much ingenuity why the **** they coming here????

Those are the facts and they are absolutely indisputable.

And the responses I gave put those facts and half truths in perspective.

The response you just gave is pure idiotic propaganda. You didn’t add one fact. You had no data. And you can’t even bring yourself to admit that the entire nation was turned over to the Republicans in the 2010 midterms (Barack Insane Obama himself called it a “shellacking”).

It's all history, chum. Read it and weep. Slobbering. And crying can't change it and denial won't either. Obama rocked and he still does.
And although the Tea Party surrogates in the GOP took over the House in mid term Obama was still president......and would remain so for another term. That's not handing the entire government over to the GOP.

He weathered the storm and restored the American economy ...damn! what a leader.

He created the storm and did his best to collapse the U.S. The American people turned the entire nation over to the Republicans in the 2010 midterms. The recovery began to just “magically” occur shortly after that.

You know it too. But you have such a man-crush on Obama that you can’t bring yourself to admit it.

I'm a realist...you are hallucinating.

Now you want eyewitnesses to history to bbelievea do nothing Congress was responsible for the 500 accomplishments of Obama I linked to earlier....BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

More than 3.5 million jobs lost in the last 6 months before Obama took over. I wonder why unemployment went up.

Most of those occurred upon the news that Barack Insane Obama had actually won the election. He campaigned on contempt for wealth and success while raving about marxism. Of course businesses are going to panic and tighten their belt at the news that he would be sitting in the Oval Office.

Even you aren't dumb enough to believe that.

It’s not something to “believe”, sparky. It happened. The economy took a sudden nose dive upon news that Barack Insane Obama had won. Just like it took a sudden spike upon news that Donald Trump had won.

Wow, you are wayyyyy out there. The scary thing is that you really believe that shyt.
You really need to see a psychiatrist. You keep seeing things that aren't there.. Its as if you've lost your reasoning ability to remote mind control.

Undocumented Cost / Benefit

$26 Billion Annual Taxes Paid by Undocumented
$24 Billion Annual cost Border / Justice
$10 Billion Trump Annual Increase Border Security
$60 Billion Cost to try to Stop Undocumented

$135 Billion Cost of Undocumented
$60 Billion Cost to try to Stop Undocumented
$75 Billion Savings if Undocumented are Stopped

Stopping Undocumented we will have to punish their employers & start showing our papers. That will decrease economic activity by $400 Billion

However, Legal Immigrants earned $1.3 trillion and contributed $105 billion in state and local taxes and nearly $224 billion in federal taxes in 2014, They had $927 billion in consumer spending power. Foreigners & Immigrants helped create & build our modern economy.

We've all heard the snowflake lies about the cost of the wall and the cost of illegal immigration. Here's a more credible examination of the facts.

Trump's Wall Costs $21.6 Billion; Illegal Immigration Costs $148.3 Billion Per Year—Do The Math | National Economics Editorial​

President Donald Trump announced that he will fulfill his campaign promise to build a nearly 2,000 mile long wall (not a fence) along America’s southern border with Mexico.

The idea is that a physical barrier will act as a low-cost deterrent, and will help stem the flow of illegal immigrants entering America via Mexico—the hope is that once an illegal alien (particularly a criminal migrant) is deported, they won’t return.

The plan is simple and time-tested—China’s Great Wall did it’s job, so did Hadrian’s Wall in Roman Britain—and yet it’s come under fire from the mainstream media.

They claim that the wall will be prohibitively expensive, that illegal immigrants contribute to America’s economy (so there’s no reason to deport them), and that the wall won’t work.

They’re factually wrong on all accounts—let’s look at the numbers.

How Much Will Trump’s Wall Cost? $21.6 Billion.
The first question we must address is very straightforward: how much would it cost to build a wall along the Mexican border?

We don’t know for sure (construction costs rarely align with initial estimates), but we have a few good estimates.

Senate leader Mitch McConnell said Congress estimates the wall will cost $15 billion at most—he said it would likely fall within a range of $12 to $15 billion.

However, according to more recent information acquired by Reuters, the border wall will cost $21.6 billion, and will take roughly 3.5 years to build. This is according to a document from the Department of Homeland Security.

It’s probably our best current estimate, and this article will proceed under using this cost assumption.

On the high end (which can’t be totally discounted, given the nature of construction projects), the left-wing advocacy group cum “newspaper” the Huffington Post said the wall would cost roughly $40 billion. Their evidence is based on a study done by MIT (although their assumptions about the size and building materials may be why the projection is so high).

Either way, the cost of the wall pales in comparison to the cost of illegal immigrants in America.

legal status is a social construct; capitalism doesn't care. money just needs to circulate.

Cute ---- but, of course, physically impossible. When you make shit up, you need to do MUCH better. Otherwise, some here are going to think you're just a liberal troll.

You are the real lying troll.

Oh wow....a 10 foot fence in Iraq. Vastly different from a 30 foot wall in America, stupid.

Yes, because the rules of physics are so much different in America.

The physics of getting over a 30' wall are a lot different than the physics of getting over a 10' wall, as in your photos.

Of course steps will be put into the 30' wall so factories and farms can get their cheap labor.

Obama was still president......and would remain so for another term. That's not handing the entire government over to the GOP.

Snowflake...the President of the United States does not set federal tax law - Congress does. The President of the United States does not set state tax law - state legislatures do.

There is a reason that Barack Insane Obama failed miserably for two years when he had complete and total control (because the Dumbocrats in Congress surrendered the people’s power over to him) - his marxist policies are idiotic.

Obama rocked and he still does.

Someone has a really disturbing man-crush on Barack Insane Obama...

Exactly! Everything I stated was well documented history. I have no idea why you even attempted to argue it. Idiotic.

Those walls are 20'ft & 15'ft respectively. That Jeep is over 20'ft long & the cab of that bridging truck is 8'ft high. Just double the steel & they are driving over 30'ft walls all day every day.

If you don’t know the difference between 10 feet and 30 feet then you really shouldn’t be on this forum discussing anything.

And yet I was the only one adding data and facts while you were adding homoerotic overtones like “Obama rocked and still does”.

Learn to read retard!

That 8'ft+ cab is half way up that 15'ft wall

That SUV is 17'ft long. Same as wall if stood on end

Here is your basic 6'ft
