Now make a case where The Wall can't save more than it cost. A one off $5 billion against the cost of welfare, policing, prisons, health care, etc. Don't say more guards unless you've found people to do the job or plan to pay them enough so they have sufficient numbers.

And don't say more restrictions on hiring ICE officers until a Democrat Government enforces the laws you have. Instead of liberal campaigners trying to shut ICE down.

Illegal immigration is bigger problem in Europe with our liberal politicians doing nothing and there's the problem. Until people vote out these clowns no one will do anything about it.

I have said before and will say it again, if we got rid of birthright citizenship that would stop illegals from coming here, having kids, then getting welfare. If we also went hard after those who hire illegals they will stop hiring them. If people know they can't get jobs or welfare, they will stop coming here.

Of course, the prices of some things will go up because they are going to have to pay more for Americans to do those jobs, but a wall will only stop a few people. Cutting off their ability to support themselves will stop many.

That would solve most of it but we know who would be against that, right?

Both parties would be against it. Democrats likely wouldn't want to do away with birthright citizenship and Republicans are making a lot of money on the backs of illegals so they wouldn't want it either.

A one off 5 billion? Are you this delusional? 1st off 5 billion isn't even close enough to do a complete wall. Its closer to 20-30 billion.

Next is 100s of millions to keep the walls maintained..

Next. 90% of illegals come in legally and overstay their visas

Why did Obama get praised for building fences along the border and Trump gets vilified for trying to build a wall where people are walking across?

Either both are wrong or both are right. They both cost similar to build and maintain, both require extra measures, neither will stop over stayers, one is easier to climb that the other, both can be tunnelled under, etc.

Yet one is right and the other wrong. And I can't explain why, can someone else? Please.
