This doesnt count things like crime costs.
Those are illegals ALREADY in the country. You are comparing apples to oranges.

Link to evidence of your numbers, please?

"The U.S. border with Mexico is roughly 2,000 miles long and underlines four states from California to Texas. It is a massive stretch of land — the Berlin Wall spanned just 96 miles comparatively, and it cost about $25 million to build in 1961, or around $200 million with inflation."

I have nothing to retort. As you are the one presenting the numbers, it is your responsibility to back them up with evidence.

You're just like Donald Trump and his tax returns!
