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 took this from Foxnews, therefore it cannot be fake news, right?

The Trump administration wants to enforce border security with a combination of a physical wall and natural barriers that would protect the estimated 1,933 miles-long border between the United States and Mexico. Many different cost estimates have been thrown around, from as little as $8 billion to as much as $70 billion, with anywhere from $150 million per year to $750 million per year in maintenance.

In total, the actual physical cost of the wall would be about $25 billion. That sounds like a ton of money. But it isn’t just one person paying for it – the entirety of the U.S. taxpayer base would collectively foot the bill.
To put that in perspective, we could give 50,000 small businesses $500,000 each to get their businesses up and running. That would be pretty incredible.

5 billion one off? Try again, Paul
