I am sure that politicians would consider it ‘immoral’ to consider the cost of immigration.

Yes, because you don’t have to rebuild a wall every year.

The cost of foreign nationals you do have to pay for every year.

Walls also don’t reproduce a whole bunch of little baby walls that will be sucking welfare in the future.

Much the same can be said for America as well
