Illegal Aliens Cost The US $148 Billion A Year, The Border Wall Costs $21.6 Billion
President Donald Trump announced that he will fulfill his campaign promise to build a nearly 2,000 mile long wall—not a fence—along America’s southern border with Mexico.

The idea is that a physical barrier will act as a relatively low-cost deterrent, and will staunch the flow of illegal immigrants entering America via Mexico. Furthermore, it will act as a powerful symbol which cannot easily be destroyed by subsequent administrations.

Just do the math. Its Trump math. But it's still math.
Looks like Mexico could pay for six walls the year the first one is completed.
Is there any evidence the wall will staunch the flow of illegal immigrants?

I doubt it actually would. $5 billion won't buy :censored2: down there. Now if they were talking like $25-$30 billion, I might be like "Holy :censored2:, the immigrants are gonna need an undead ice dragon to get through that thing".

Even with Trump math correct you still won't admit to money in the bank because of a wall will you?

Mexico isn't paying for the wall.

You’d first have to demonstrate the wall would actually have a measurable impact on illegal immigration before you can claim it will save money.

Israel cut its illegal immigration rate by "99 percent" by constructing a 143-mile fence along its southern border.

Yeah they are.
Of coarse, Trump math isn't the only way its going to happen.
Those tariffs and taxes coming. He's got plans. About August of 2020 he's gonna be lookin' so good.

No, that’s not how any of that works.

Mexico ain’t paying for the wall, sorry.

You’re like the bro who wants a hamburger but you’ll pay later, that’s not how it works.

Would $5-$6 billion in US taxpayer money give us a wall along our southern border that's just as good as Israel's?
