The issue of the border wall with Mexico was born in controversy, and will remain a controversial topic even after it has been built. Critics will point to its costs as excessive, and the wall itself as a waste of money. President Trump, on the other hand, insists that it is necessary to securing our borders and that it will be paid for by Mexico. Although the precise mechanism for securing funding from the Mexicans has not been finalized, Mr. Trump continues to insist that its cost to Americans will essentially be zero.
Yet even if we did need to bear the cost of this structure, it would be far from one of our more costly projects. Members of both sides of the aisle have backed programs far more costly than the proposed border wall, and which have been of dubious value. In fact, some programs and projects have consumed enormous sums of money while turning out to be utter failures.
None of this would suggest or excuse pursuing projects of questionable value regardless how minimal the cost might be. That’s not the point. What is the point is that for all the liberal angst over this wall, cost is one area where their argument is the weakest. More on page two.
Wall may cost $10B- $20B but guess what Americans just saved $100 Billion on the cost to support illegals yearly.
just one year of welfare money normally spent on illegals would pay for it.
Enough for the extension necessary for better coverage of those that wish to keep their illegals and anti-American policies!
Not to mention, illegal immigration costs around $130 billion per year.
LOT OD DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT.
I concur that they are suppose to sponsor .. the problem is illegals know the government system and get assistances. My granddaughter worked for social services as an intern and asked me ” why is there so many people that are capable of working getting benefits… She then looked at her paycheck and was very disappointed on the taxes that was deducted…. Welcome to the tax payers world. The theory of being sponsored is not working. They abuse the system and the united state loses millions because they send money back to your country. Money gram and western union has gotten restrict on money wiring that the government stepped in and are watching were it’s going. Why are so many American homeless families and veterans living and dying on the streets? Famiies that can’t afford housing are living in their cars. They make to much money to get food assistance and healthcare. Obama Care is to expensive for them as it’s based on income and the household number. Obama care is another issue. My regular doctor and pain specialist no longer accepts major insurances due to high premiums so I’m on a out of pocket. It’s good for the ones that don’t work while the tax paying suffer.
We have 221 million, that we didn’t give to terrorist.
refugees dont need sponsors, they come to our government begging for help, “refuge”. the ons that need sponsors are those being petitioned by someone to bring them here legally.
Knowledge shall increase in the last days and it has …..for those who know the truth
HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT ITS ONLY THE POOR THAT COME TO THIS COUNTRY?FOX DONT WANT THE WALL BECAUSE WE ARE DOING HIS JOB FEEDING AND EDUCATING THE MEXICANS THAT WAY THE RICH DONT HAVE TO WHY DONT FOX MANDATE A LAW THAT PAYS THE PEOPLE THERE A LIVING WAGE FOR THEIR WORK?.WE NEED A WALL WE NEED TO SEND THE PEOPLE BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY.
