........one of you math guys do the math, doesn’t seem like 12 million a month is correct!
These guys/gals don’t get paid much. If each got $3,000 per month, that would be 3 million. Then there is equipment and fuel and food.
12 million still seems high.
The total economic costs from this increased surge of illegal crossings through our borders far exceeds the costs of defending our borders. If the borders were somehow sealed shut tomorrow, the financial impact from those who have illegally entered our country during this recent surge, will still be felt for years.
That is another reason why we have immigration laws already in place allowing people to immigrate at a much slower rate.
