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

Let's tax advertised jobs until they are filled, for better metrics from the private sector.

The reality is, right wing fixations don't seem to be applying; why is unemployment so low in the City, with a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.

This has been explained to you already. The people in Seattle are bringing home LESS than before the increase because their employers have cut hours to offset the new costs.

That’s why homelessness has INCREASED in Seattle despite the increase in minimum wage. That’s what left-wing policy does - it makes the poor poorer and creates nothing but failure.

A flawed study? Why is the unemployment rate so low, with so many employers, cutting back.

They aren’t cutting jobs. Nobody said that. They are cutting hours.

A flawed ability to think, Daniel?

cutting hours affects level of employment, only flawed studies don't take into account, underpayment under Any form of Capitalism.

How are capitalists cutting hours, with such low unemployment? Doesn't that affect turnover.

cutting hours affects level of employment

No snowflake, it doesn’t. Having your hours doesn’t cut back doesn’t categorize one as “unemployed”.

Oh wait....so you’re now admitting that unemployment isn’t nearly as low in Seattle as you’ve been claiming?

Seriously man...if you keep this up....Vladimir Putin is going to put a bullet in the back of your head. You can’t be so blatant about being a paid Russian troll. You need to brush up on your English and your grammar.

No snowflake, it doesn’t. Having your hours doesn’t cut back doesn’t categorize one as “unemployed”.

it should be measured as underemployment, if a "normal" work week is forty hours.

In any case, with such a low unemployment rate, why can't labor simply get a second minimum wage job at fifteen dollars an hour?

i am not claiming anything; i am citing my sources.

Burger flipping jobs

We’re not discussing your “career”. Nobody asked about you. Back to the facts - wages are up under President Trump and the Republicans. Unemployment is down.

Wages on Burger flipping jobs are not up

That is all Trump has created

Maybe we can sell tickets to tear it down

I have a piece of the Berlin wall. One could sell pieces of the tRump holocaust wall.

Sending people home is not a Holocaust.

Reducing H1-B visa holders hurting small business? Of course it doesn't effect tRumps businesses.

Did you know that the current first lady was a H1-B visa holder?

Yeah, I'm not going to try to have a serious conversation with some asshole who can't use the President's actual name,

so piss off.

So you can't refute my post, and you use English slang which tells me that you're probably not an American.

Normally, I'd love to address an actual point. YOu lefties rarely gin one up.

But, I'm not feeling like putting up your your childish, asshole bullshit today.

SO, my "piss off" is all you get.


YOu want to discuss serious issues, try not talking like a retarded child.

Trump border wall crowdfunding possible under Tennessee lawmaker's 'trust fund' bill

Those who want to see President Trump’s border wall built may get a chance to help fund the project if a recently introduced bill is passed.

The legislation, introduced by Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn., last week, would create a “border wall trust fund.” People could donate any amount of money to it, with the funds specifically designated for “whatever it takes to build the wall” -- from supplies to salaries. It would be overseen by the Treasury Department, according to Black...


I guess it's time for folks to put up or shut up...

Let the suckers pay for their own wall

Mexico sure isn’t going to pay

Oh, Mexico will pay, in one coin or another.


They will come to regret they didn't pay in money.

They are openly mocking Crooked Donnie

They are openly mocking America, some of US are just too stupid to know it.


They are fools for doing it.


Having America as a friendly neighbor has to be the greatest godsend a nation can hope for.


ANd not only are they ******* that up, they are also ******* up America.



I can't imagine a worse course of action.

We aren't being invaded by hoards of Czech models. We are being invaded by hoards if Indian software coolies who work for half of what Americans are used to earning.

Your racist rant is noted.

Indians do work for US companies for half of what US workers are paid. Facts are racist? That's just stupid

"Indian software coolies" is racist.

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.

. . . . . . . .​

Gosh, low unemployment and those coal miners still can't find jobs? Might as well bring in people that actually want to work. Immigrants help grow the economy. That stupid wall will only hold back growth.

When "immigrants" come in, the only grow the economy big enough to provide what they consume. In fact, they don't even grow it as much as that. Most of them suck off the taxpayers. Holding them back is the whole point of the wall.

Then take-back your 100k+ Canadian countrymen.

Seattle is beating the national average regarding unemployment even with a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.

While their minimum wage workers are bringing home less than their minimum wage counterparts in other nations. Nothing makes the poor poorer like failed left-wing policy.

a flawed study? the minimum wage is the minimum wage and Seattle is beating the national average; why can't Labor get several minimum wage jobs at fifteen an hour, to make up for it?

That would be a good idea except we have 30 million workers who need government assistance. There are not 30 million “extra” jobs waiting to be filled

There are labor shortages all over the country that is hurting the economy, raising prices and stopping companies from expanding, thus, hurting more job creation

Labor "shortages" mean higher wages for Americans. I understand why your corporate masters don't want to pay higher wages, but why do you imagine I would object?

BULLSHIT. Higher wages for workers come about due to regulation.

You would think so
Somehow, companies are managing to avoid raising wages

They avoid it by hiring illegals, moron.

I just GOTTA ask for a link on this one

Show the number of corporations hiring illegals

bipat should have got a better education so he wouldnt be forced to compete with illegal aliens for lettuce picking jobs ..

I compete with software coolies from India. They have taken most of the good paying tech jobs in this country. illegals compete for blue collar jobs like construction and truck driving.

And we have a shortage of construction workers and truck drivers which makes more things more expensive, holds back business expansion and hurts Americans. Immigration is good, it makes us stronger

So much time spent on worrying about bullshit.


So little spent on worrying about the welfare of his fellow citizens.

We don't have a shortage of either. It's a ploy to drive up profit.

The wall won't stop anyone. It won't even cover the entire border. It's hard to pick the worst idea of Trump's but with the cost and xenophobia... it's right at the top. That's until he fakes a serious situation in the world and starts a war to save his presidency.
In case you don't know... the intelligence committee has stated it's not just conjecture anymore with Trump's treasonous acts with Russia... they have solid evidence. They're sweating bullets in the White House like a whore in church. This wall won't be built because he won't last that long to build it. The shit is going to hit the fan soon with the intellectual committee's report that will never permit you to say " fake Russian connection " ever again. Remember this post when the sky comes crashing down on Trump and you deplorables.

They wont feel so lucky when patriots send the scumbals' women back home with ebola, hiv, dark pox, et cetera.
