The money to build The Wall was just made available during the UN vote.

The money we sent in recent times to the 128 countries who voted to condemn a simple action by America to move its embassy should now have their foreign aide money used elsewhere. The Wall is a good place for it.

We spend over $100 billion a year on criminal aliens. The wall is projected to cost $20 billion. Do the math.

Your trillion dollar tax scam bill will put a strain on any spending priority.

The wall is about $50 bucks a person. If it prevents one more little girl from being the victim of a hit and run manslaughtter it is worth it.

We may not need the wall. Illegal immigration has declined and illegals are self-deporting. Putting a little fear in the minds of criminals does wonders.

That's what they WANT you to think. Getting lulled into complacency that the problem has gone away. They will be back overnight the day Trump leaves office but the wall won't go anywhere.

Can you find a reliable source (no Breitbart or Infowars) for this information, or did you pull that number ?

Yes and no. Lets look at what we know for sure. There doesn't seem to be a total for all cost.

According to research and statistics by the U.S. Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, U.S. taxpayers are footing an annual bill of nearly $19 million a day to house and care for an estimated 300,000 to 450,000 convicted criminal immigrants who are eligible for deportation and are currently residing in local jails and state and federal prisons across the country.

Illegal immigrants clearly commit a level of violent and drug related crimes disproportionate to their population.

Vetted crime statistics from USDOJ, the U.S. Sentencing Commission and the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) are both clear and demonstrative that illegal immigrants who comprise only 3.5 percent of our nation’s population, are convicted and sentenced for the crime of murder at a rate of three times that of their American citizen and legal immigrant counterparts.
That is 6.5 Billion a year just in cost to keep criminals off the streets.

Ask yourself why we as American citizens need to bear the increasing costs of violence, victimization and burdensome taxes in subsidizing illegal immigrant criminals who shouldn’t be in our country in the first place.
