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

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.


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.

. . . . . . . .


Add to the cost of the wall the amnesty for 1.8 million illegals and their families. Also ad the food stamps and other perks like free health care, in state tuition, EEO, shit as well as the cost of jailing said wet backs, I mean really, Trump ain’t any better then Boosh or Token Negro was. I mean, he is pushing amnesty despite all his promises.

Aren't you one of the assholes who supports amnesty? If you think Trump can just dictate to the Dims whatever he wants, you're a ******* fool. The DACA amnesty is the price we have to pay to get the other stuff we want.


No. That was you. You were one of The loudest Trumpkins here. Now instead of gleefully stating how the Donald will send the wet backs home and build a way, you are touting Amnesty and a fence in New Mexico. That’s a flip flop...... Bigly.

Yes, I think we should've dictated policy long ago, starting with Republicans repealing the traitorous Hart-Celler immigration act, and the traitorous Roe vs Wade decision, by all means necessary, and cracking down on the Liberal media, and Liberal Hollywood back in the 1960's - 1970's.

Instead Republicans did nothing, and things got worse, and worse, and worse.

The Fascists got it correct nearly 100 years ago, the Republicans still get it wrong, Capitalism is part of the problem, not part of the solution, Capitalism sells out to Balkanized multiculturalism, as well as general Liberalism like porn, degenerate films, and abortion for Hospital Capitalism.

Unfortunately the demise of our country is "Profitable"

Republicans are clearly clueless, if they think Capitalism will solve these issues.
 
Oh, and for my stance in illegals and another amnesty, to look at my posts and see if I support any amnesty. You were duped.

What do you propose instead? Tell us your idea for a bill that can actually get through Congress.



That’s not what you said during the campaign. That’s not what Trump said. That’s not what any republican who ran in 2016 and before said. Yet here you are giving them cover for granting amnesty. Sad!..... Bigly.

See what I mean? What did Trump propose be put up before congress? What was his bill? Don’t think there was. All he said was deport the illegals and build a wall kill obama care. He went left on all three. But back to Trumpnesty, trump said no amnesty, you all said he wouldn’t, y’all shouted people down that pointed out that Trump has always been an advocate for amnesty, yet here you, specifically, YOU are carrying water for Trumps amnesty plan. At leas be honest. Or just say **** some more.
 
Anyone who claims walls don't work is a traitorous open-borders douche bnag. There is simply no valid reason for opposing the wall. Anyone who does it wants to open the flood gates to illegal immigration.
Allow me to complete that sentence for you. Anyone who claims walls don’t work is an immature, pathological liar. Even U.S. Special Forces were unable to breach the prototypes.
U.S. military special forces and the Customs and Border Protection agency recently finished testing border wall prototypes — and the results couldn’t be more conclusive.

Commandos and agents attempted “to breach and scale the eight models in San Diego, using jackhammers, saws, torches and other tools and climbing devices” but were unable to breach the walls each time, a U.S. official anonymously told the AP.
If the most elite military forces in the world can’t breach them, there won’t be a single illegal alien that will be able to pull it off. This should have been done decades ago.

US special forces spent three weeks testing border wall prototypes — the results couldn’t be better
Yeah...a man with a balloon big enough to lifi his weight could be over that wall in seconds ....as could a man using a hand glider. Did the Special Forces try either of those ?

ROFLMMFAO

Wow...I've been MIA here longer then it seems....
I actually forgot how rampant stupidity is here!

No matter how you slice it....

whether i suggest putting your hair brain, cockamamie,
Wile E Coyote, Acme plans to the test, physically,
or, mentally, using critical thinking skills instead....

...either way, you'll hurt yourself!

Hmmm, let me guess, the Earth is flat...
perfect for your hand glider :cuckoo:
Although my typo has left me vulnerable
to hacks like you, hand gliders do exist. I don't know of any large enough to carry a person but they do exist.

How to Make Hand Gliders

And helium filled ballons have been used to lift a man in a lawn chair a few miles into the sky...fewer ballons could lift one to the top of a. 30 ft wall. Coyotes who specialize and profit from getting people across the border
could devise an apparatus that could be used repeatedly to float dozens of
search
people across a
wall at night in an isolated location. I could it easily construct such a devise amd make it work.

I would ask you, if you reread what you wrote,
before you hit the 'post reply' button but,
that would be an utterly, stupid question on my part,
considering the obvious....critical thinking

Your, Wile E Coyote solutions, were not, in any way,

Any more than, your subsequent reply,
to which I am now responding to.

With that said....

Whether or not it was a typo(which I doubt), is irrelevant!

Your inability to realize that, is made evident by:

....hand gliders do exist.
I don't know of any large enough to carry a person but they do exist.

Your attempt to ignore your stupidity and absurdity,
by rationalizing, the criticism stems from a typo,
fails miserably, when followed by idiocy and more stupidity!

^typo
You haven't proven a thing except I do make typos when using a cell phone to respond here. And that's no sin. And my hypothesis in regards to using ballons to get multiple parties over a 30ft wall at some secluded area along a 2000 mile border is workable.
Now the issue of detection by guards or electronic intrusion devices is another matter.
Coyotes have contacts on the US side of the border including corrupt border patrol agents who would know how to appropriate and use any security vulnerabilities to their advantage.

You've got to be joking. An agent with a bee bee gun can make short work of those balloons.
There are isolated spots along that 2000 mi. border where border patrols are scarce.
But my point is balloons could be used to traverse a border wall repeatedely with low probability of immediate detection in a secluded area. Create a diversion a mile away and detection drops even more precipitously.

Please...enough already!

Trying to convince us is not necessary...
I assure you, your idiocy is evident!

Seriously moron....do you have any idea
how heavy commercial helium tanks are?

How time consuming it would be to
fill these 'freedom balloons?...

Of course, you couldn't just tie
heavy duty cord or rope at the closure knot....
IT'S NOT POSSIBLE...

you would need a netting fixture that the balloon would sit in,
and those cords would have to be strapped to the body

How will they control their direction?

How will they get down...start popping one by one?

Try watching Border Wars!...time and stealth is of the essence!

YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND THE WEAKEST LINK!
GOOD BYE!
I've already shown the details in a previous post. Anyone interested has already seen it and is now chuckling at your ignorant ranting.
I even included a picture.
 
Mexico needs to pay first as Trump promised.

Trump didn't say anything about Mexico paying first, moron.
Oh so we should float the money and Mexico will definitely pay back. You believe that you are the moron.
All I care about is if the wall gets built. Getting Mexico to pay for it is a secondary issue.
Well we were promised Mexico would pay. Your throwing money into the national debt without consequence is typical big spending conservative hypocrisy.

Well, Trump just seems to be another Ronald Reagan, grant Amnesty to millions.

The Republicans love Reagan though, not very bright people, a party of British yokels who liter the Southern states, and the Mid-West.
Wtf? I can't believe you said something I actually agree with.
 
"deport all the dreamers, then the illegals, then build the wall, then merit based immigration. Then, America becomes great again" - President Trump
 
Not worried about the wall since Mexico is paying for it. If they don't then no wall.
Another idiot who thinks he tells the Trump administration what to do.
Another idiot who doesn't hold trump to his bullshit claims.
I couldn't care less about who pays for the wall, moron. Just cutting down on illegal immigration will cost Mexico far more than the price of the wall.
I'm not pro illegal immigration but the price of vegetables and fruits could go through the roof without that cheap labor. Or those healthy items could become very scarce.Trump has the dough to get his but will you and your family be able to get theirs?
 
Not worried about the wall since Mexico is paying for it. If they don't then no wall.
Another idiot who thinks he tells the Trump administration what to do.
Another idiot who doesn't hold trump to his bullshit claims.
Trump has a minimum of three more years to make good on his promise. You don't get to set the deadline, moron.
Get back to me when Mexico plays for the wall in year 2900
I couldn't care less, moron. The wall will get fully funded in 2018. End of story.
When it doesn't get fully funded will you ask us for forgiveness and admit you were a disillusioned creep?

Not caring about spending coupled with revenue cutting tax breaks is why our national deficit and debt keeps growing.
 
If you built a partial wall as Trump proposes, what is to prevent anyone from using tools to under, over, or around?
Cost. Availability. Capability. Expertise. Homeland Security. Border Patrol.

Basically all of the common sense you insist on ignoring in order to push your bag-shit crazy ideological agenda.

So the things we are already using?
Someone has a reading comprehension problem - uh BD? She said “what prevents someone from tunneling under the wall”? The answer is that your average Mexican doesn’t have the money for the tools to do that, the expertise to do that, the capability to do that, or the availability of the tools even if they did have all of those other things.

We’re talking about Mexico with the hypothetical wall. So why would you say “the things we are already using” when we’re talking about them and a situation which doesn’t even exist yet?

Yet there are already lots o tunnels being found, and I'm sure a lot that haven't been found. Trump-0 claimed the wall would stop drugs as well as people. The wall can be bypassed with techniques already being used..
 
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.


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.

. . . . . . . .


Add to the cost of the wall the amnesty for 1.8 million illegals and their families. Also ad the food stamps and other perks like free health care, in state tuition, EEO, shit as well as the cost of jailing said wet backs, I mean really, Trump ain’t any better then Boosh or Token Negro was. I mean, he is pushing amnesty despite all his promises.

Aren't you one of the assholes who supports amnesty? If you think Trump can just dictate to the Dims whatever he wants, you're a ******* fool. The DACA amnesty is the price we have to pay to get the other stuff we want.


No. That was you. You were one of The loudest Trumpkins here. Now instead of gleefully stating how the Donald will send the wet backs home and build a way, you are touting Amnesty and a fence in New Mexico. That’s a flip flop...... Bigly.

What was me? Tell us what you propose to put up for a vote in Congress. If you can't tell us what you want Congress to vote on, then shut the **** up.



See what I mean? What did Trump propose be put up before congress? What was his bill? Don’t think there was. All he said was deport the illegals and build a wall kill obama care. He went left on all three. But back to Trumpnesty, trump said no amnesty, you all said he wouldn’t, y’all shouted people down that pointed out that Trump has always been an advocate for amnesty, yet here you, specifically, YOU are carrying water for Trumps amnesty plan. At leas be honest. Or just say **** some more.

Again: Tell us what you propose to put up for a vote in Congress. If you can't tell us what you want Congress to vote on, then shut the **** up.
 
Not worried about the wall since Mexico is paying for it. If they don't then no wall.
Another idiot who thinks he tells the Trump administration what to do.
Another idiot who doesn't hold trump to his bullshit claims.
I couldn't care less about who pays for the wall, moron. Just cutting down on illegal immigration will cost Mexico far more than the price of the wall.

Not caring about spending coupled with revenue cutting tax breaks is why our national deficit and debt keeps growing.

When did Obama or the Dims ever care about spending?
