Most news reports have focused on the COST of a border wall.

A closer look shows that even though it might cost as much as $ 40 Billion dollars, it would actually SAVE American taxpayers much more.

Some estimates show that the wall could pay for itself more than two times in the first year, based on annual cost to taxpayers of more than $ 100 Billion dollars.  While it is difficult to accurately assess the exact cost of illegal aliens, here is some food for thought regarding a few of the annual costs:

• Title I $1.33 Billion

• Migrant Education program and Title III  $ 2.11 Billion

• Medical expense $ 5.95 Billion

• Administration of Justice Outlays $ 7.84 Billion

• Public Assistance benefits $ 4.71 Billion

Those are a few of the costs, but certainly not all of them.  Beyond the hard costs, the HUMAN cost is difficult to analyze.  Illegal aliens bring with them a large volume of crime and violence, which impacts the communities and families of Americans everywhere.

World Net Daily published a more comprehensive article on the subject which is worth a look.

Protecting our border and vetting immigrants is vital to protect our country.

It makes me wonder why the Leftists are throwing such a fit about it.
