It costs us a lot more to take in illegal immigrants..the wall would pay for itself very quickly. It costs us about $34,000 a yr for each illegal in social programs, ie., education, housing food stamps and for defendant children, and healthcare. It's a no-brainer.
A $5 billion border wall is a waste of money. Stop the government shutdown threats and let's invest in domestic priorities like infrastructure, health care, and paid family and sick leave.

“Illegal immigrants” tend to work, pay taxes and not avail themselves of government-provided services for fear of being spotted. We could find examples of very slick cheaters, but they’re few. Look for yourself at the facts and statistics.

After yesterday’s
#SmockingGun tweet from our commander and chief. I think we should spend $5 billion on education. -
We spend more money on education then any other country and have little to show for it. Heck Washing DC spends 25K per student a year and they can't even read after 12 years.

The only reason not to have a wall is because you want people to cross the border illegally.

More than 30,000 have crossed the border, illegally, from US to Canada since 2017. How many of those entered the US legally in the first place? If you want a wall, put it on the Canadian border and keep your screening failures to yourselves. Please. And thank you.

Damn right Americans are sick of illegal aliens crossing the border and taking our money. A wall is desperately needed. I think it is amazing how many politicians have a wall around their home to keep people out. Why not America?
