Personally, I don't care what it costs. 25 billion is a bargain considering we spend more than that yearly on housing, feeding, educating and providing free health care for millions of illegals.
You do realize that we'll still pay that, and more, when they become legal.
Truth is, the wall will never be built. There remain several lawsuits over the LAST wall expansion. trump's wall will impact many many private landowners.
Everyone except Trump's cult understands this. When Trump makes this deal and 1.8 million plus undocumented immigrants get amnesty and no wall gets built they will explode. The $25 billion may be spent on border security, mostly tech based but a physical wall was always vaporware. I still can't believe how many rubes fell for Trump's con. The lawsuits alone would take decades to work their way through the courts.
They actually never "turn people around" at the border. They are taken into custody.
I belonged to a golf club on the border (Turquoise Valley) in Naco, AZ. We played daily and saw UDAs cross at the 13th hole. Sometimes a BP copter would see them. The copter would hover over them and they'd turn around and the copter would stay over them until they saw them return to MX.

I'm not talking about illegals already here. I'm talking about people that are still coming over the border illegally every day of every year.
The vast majority of illegals here are not DACA so I don't know how you're coming to your conclusion about them becoming legal. Nothing is happening making illegals in general citizens. Where did you get that? The current deal being proposed is only about DACA recipients, not illegals in general.
Most DACA people are not in the closet working secretly somewhere. They already pay taxes or are going to school.
Trump is not Dumb. He is the king of negotiating . He is offering this purposely to trap democrats and their illegal base. If democrats turn this deal down, they will look bad to their illegal base.

Not many MXNs crossing these days; economy is pretty good here. And MX Gov. is stopping many GTA's at the MX southern border.
