Is there a calculator about how much stuff we can buy with the 2,000 Americans murdered by illegals each year?

I'm with you. I would favor a Japan-style virtual total ban on guns, other than for police and military.

Where did I say you said it? Note the words "I would.

2,000 Americans murdered by the illegals has to be a trivial cost, right?

Where did you get that number?

Not quite 1/17th as much as you could buy with all the Americans Murdered by guns. So I guess if you want a calculator, you could plug in a multiplier of 0.0588x

(Not saying we should ban guns, just answering your question with some objective data.)

Do you want your insurance company to use that valuation? I could see it now: "Massive stroke, gonna cost $74k in the first week. Let's just total it and send their spouse a check." Good plan....

Median wrongful death payout is 2.2 million. So for 2,000 people thats about 4.4 Billion.

I know what you're thinking....A wall! 4.4 Billion honestly wouldn't even pay for the maintenance on a full wall, let alone building it. Keep in mind though-the wall wouldn't be 100% effective. 1/2 of them are visa overstays. So the wall would only address the other half.

The right wing Cato institute has a good discussion of effectiveness and cost here:

Bottom line? 4.4 billion for 2,000 deaths, and no its not Wall money. Thats even before we address the value we often get from them working here.
