Illegal aliens cost us $116 billion every year.

So after the cost of construction, we still save $96 billion dollars. Sold.

Still posting that hopeless garbage?

It has been completely refuted by Cato...

I don't care whether they cost us $116 billion or $16 billion or whatever.


They are ILLEGAL.


They are not citizens, and they haven't played by the rules to get here.


They often times steal social security numbers and people's ID's in order to function in society.


They are ILLEGAL.

Indeed they are. And the only practical solution is to legalize them. Whereupon they are no longer illegal.

And those who prevent that legalization simply continue the problem. They are the basic support of the illegal alien.

Oh, OK - we're going to reward lawbreaking and people who didn't play by the rules, all so the democrats can have an unbeatable majority for the next 50 years.

Seriously? That's all the Left has been pushing for about a year now.

Sensors and pre-rigged explosives are in the footings.

You are not taking into consideration how much revenue is brought in on the war on drugs, this supports growing prison and law enforcement industries as well. Cutting off or drastically reducing the flow of drugs into the US would be very destructive to the economy and to the police state.

In order to justify continued funding for the war on drugs, there needs to be a significant drug problem, therefore the drug supply must be consistent. Its sort of like the war on terror...they need a certain amount of terrorism in order to continually justify fighting a war against it.

YEP........this ^^^

When they add up the cost of illegals, they never add in all the $24 billion a year that leaves our country in remittances .
One year of those remittances staying in this country would pay for a YUGE wall.
