Please expand on that statement. Exactly HOW do they cost us that much money ? (we want statistics, not your gut feelings)

If they want to build a wall around California, please extend it up around Washington state too. I much prefer to be aligned with California than Mississippi.

Immigrants are a MASSIVE net economic benefit to the U.S. Why do you think the biggest immigrant centers are the richest, best educated, safest places in the U.S? NYC area, Bay Area, Seattle, etc. all have tons of immigrants.

Immigrants work like crazy and are hugely entrepreneurial, healthier, and much less public assistance. Half of the largest U.S. corporations were founded by immigrants.

California sends more money to DC than it gets back, so go ahead & build the wall, I don't like being a donor state.

Just put a wall around the Seattle/Tacoma area. The rest of the state is very conservative.

As long as we get to keep our tax money that sounds great! Not sure the rest of the state would like that very much but it sounds perfect to me. Put a wall around the entire Puget Sound region and extend down around California. All good.

That's the estimate. You know better? At any rate it can't cost more than the $113 billion a year that illegals cost us every single year. The wall would be a one time cost. Why don't you want a secure border? And don't come back with the BS that walls don't work. They are a huge deterrant otherwise why do we have them around our homes and businesses? The good walls on the border have already been proven to be highly effective.
