Last I read, illegal immigrants was costing us $150 billion a year.

That's just the illegal ones.

Five $ billion for a wall is to much?

[[Last I read, illegal immigrants was costing us $150 billion a year.]]

That figure you cite is for direct costs only- the MSM doesn’t want you to know the impact all the indirect costs are costing this country- - illegal immigrants are costing our country well north of $500 billion dollars a year- that figure you cited was just for direct costs (ie, incarceration costs [$140 per day per illegal], lawyer fees, schooling, medical, housing etc) but there are many many incidental costs that illegals cost this country like time lost from victims and their families, therapy needed rehabilitation costs, food costs, costs in lost property, identity theft costs, illnesses brought into the country killing kids and families- rising insurance costs for both drivers and homeowners in illegal heavy areas- on and on and on it goes- these figures, as complied many years ago by reputable sources, were between $400 billion dollars and $600 billion dollars estimated- today it’s likely closer to a trillion dollars per year, every single year

The cost of the Wall is not the real issue.

Democrats are determined to prevent Trump building the wall because it will be his everlasting LEGACY.. bigger than any library, school, museum, airport...
