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

a wall doesn't solve any problems.

new cities in more optimal locations, does.

It solves our problem of how to keep out the trash.

no, it doesn't.

All evidence of human history to the contrary...

lol. The Spartans claimed only "girly men" need walls.

Spartans killed or enslaved their illegal aliens.

They also didn't believe in abortion laws.

Sparta's defeat by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC ended Sparta's prominent role in Greece.

2. You’ll learn more about girls once you’re able to talk to them Daniel Dummy

3. Sparta was defeated. American won’t make the same idiotic mistake

We have a Constitution. Our welfare clause is General not Common.

We have a Commerce Clause.

Congress really is delegated the power to solve this dilemma in a market friendly manner.

We should be upgrading Ellis Island and surrounding infrastructure and generating revenue to pay for it.

A few time I've had the feeling that some commercials sort of lied. Please tell us that commercials don't lie . I've even had the feeling at rare times that posters don't tell the exact truth either.

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.

Only an idiot would claim you don't save money by paying less for the stuff you normally buy.

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.

Of course, i never bought a Ferrari, so your example is bogus from the starting gate.

Here's a better example.

A lb of hamburger normally costs $4.00. Pik-N-Save has it on sale for $3.00/lb Money saved = $1.00

Yeah....we have a name for those people: left-wing partisan idiots.

Rational people understand that this will save us almost $150 billion per year.

It’s funny you say that Reg. A few times I’ve had the feeling like you might come around and actually engage in discussion like a mature adult. But then you go and post desperate nonsense like this and I realize...nope!

A commercial is not “video” in the context that we are talking here. Neither are Hollywood movies. Of course, you already know this, but you can’t bring yourself to accept the fact that the ideology you bought into is a fraud, just yet. So you resort to childish stuff like this.

You spent $3.00. You saved $0.00. If you don’t understand that concept then I can’t teach it to you.

Don’t trust everything a politician says even if he is from the same political party. People lie/make wild assumptions in order to get their way.

Apparently, your theory is that the only way to save money is to give up eating.

You're an imbecile.

You are, obviously. If I was to behave as you do, I would say "this is about a wall, not a Ferrari."

You're too stupid to continue breathing.
