lousy capitalists lose money on border policy.

That's why Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the majority of the states. We booted out all of the "lousy capitalists".

Everyone will be worse off.

That’s true. Every illegal alien trying to break into my nation will be worse off. But We the People don’t care about that, Daniel. We’re sending you back where you belong.

a useless wall and reduction in social services for the Poor, i get it, right wingers.

So why does Obama have a wall if they don't work? or the Vatican? or Israel?

Tell us how a wall is useless

Private property. Fences keep pets inside. The wall is useless for immigration purposes.

Israel, Hungary and Austria beg to differ with you.

we have a general welfare clause and a commerce clause; only lousy capitalists lose money on border policies with Those powers available.

Thank you for proving my point.

 

[P@triot]

Yes. Just one. So what? That doesn’t authorize an invasion of the United States.

 

[Lesh]

You've had Congress and the White House for two ******* years.

Nothing was stopping you from building the stupid wall other than the utter stupidity of it

different times create different needs. We no longer need man power to make our country great we now need mind power and money power. The Statue of Liberty is a dinosaur belonging to a soon forgotten age when sweat and labor was valuable.

and requiring 60% to pass anything in the Senate. You forget that?

there is no invasion. refugees from our drug war.

it is about natural rights. and, we could fit the entire US population into the State of Texas, with room to spare.

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.

How come your post omits the GDP impact of illegal immigrants?

That would only make them look like more of a bad deal.
