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

Only lousy capitalists lose money on border policy and blame the Poor.

 

[P@triot]

Upgrade Ellis Island so we don't have these problems.

What “problem”? We don’t need to “upgrade” Ellis Island. We just need to enforce the law and out you whiny little fascists in your place. That’s it. That’s all we have to do.

 

[P@triot]

A border wall and the Statue of Liberty send opposing messages. If you want a wall, man up and send the Statue back to France. You terror-stricken righties don't need it or deserve it.

Only in the mind of the ignorant left-wing nut jobs. The Statue of Liberty does not authorize a lawless society. Never did. Never will. Next?

Capitalism is our economic system. Border policy is driven by our political system (a representative republic).

 

[bripat9643]

How much would it cost to throw a giant white sheet over the Statue of Liberty, and announce we're not the beacon of freedom anymore?

we get to "Blame the Right Wing".

They'd probably go for returning Lady Liberty to the French, along with some snide, ignorant remarks.

The Statue of Liberty never had anything to do with immigration, moron. The poem by Emma Lazarus was added after the fact.

nothing but laws concerning socialism on a national basis?

free trade and less regulation at the border!

We make money off of illegals

That is why they are here

I don't make money off of illegals. Perhaps the leftwing 1% douche bags like George Soros and Hillary do, but I the average worker doesn't. He gets fucked up the ass.

I have never been affected by illegal immigrants negatively or positively. Can you share your experiences? You have curiosity.

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.

. . . . . . . .​

Wrong.

The wall will cost us nothing. That's what trumpery said and he would never lie.

Right?

Pssst --- spending $21B and saving $143B doesn't mean it cost us money ---- it means we made money on the deal.

Grow up.

Most don’t believe it will save us money. Those are words not dollars. When your wife using a stack of coupons to save money, you don’t actually get money to deposit in your bank account. You actually lose money because she bought stuff.

The words of a spendaholic or a politician isn’t indicative of reality in most cases.

Fucked up "rationale" by middle-finger-baby.......As if that "beautiful wall" is going to save us from all those darkies coming in in tunnels, airplanes,ships, overstaying visas, etc........

Are ALL right wingers THIS stupid?

Mostly. Are you talking about the Reagan Conservative Tea Party nutjobs That hi-jacked the Republican Party? Yes. They really are that stupid.

Under Reagan, the national debt increased more than under any other president except Franklin Roosevelt. He is considered a conservative because he lowered taxes and increased spending. In personal finance, this would make you a bad leader of your household. In business, this type of leadership would force you to close. In government, you are considered the greatest president and the greatest conservative this country has ever had.

Yes. Those who call themselves conservatives are not conservative in the least and they are very stupid. Very very very stupid.

I have to compete with hundreds of thousands of software coolies from India. I'd be making twice as much as I do if it wasn't for all the cheap labor imported from India.

Example: New Ferrari costs $75,000. If you buy it you will save 15 miles to the gallon. I will also give you $10,000 off if you buy it today. How much do you save?

Hint: You don’t. You save more by forgoing the purchase.

Pennies compared to your messiah, MaObama. He borrowed more than that his first week in office! And all you did was drop to your knees and offer to service him.
