| fatslob-:O said: Why not ? Every year we get over 200000+ illegal mexicans crossing the border while receiving a $10000+ deficit for each and everyone one of them in the process ... The wall would likely pay for itself easily in 5 years and if not at the very least in 8 years ... Immigration is a serious issue in the US and it's one of the reasons why Donald Trump is succeeding in the republican primaries ... |
Donald Trump is succeeding because ignorant people believe his lies/bullshit. That 200,000 number might scare the shit out of republicans but it was 1.6million in 2000 and illegal immigration is currently at net zero. Illegal immigrants are also way more important for the US economy than you might think. The wall wouldn´t pay for itself, it would cost the taxpayers every year as long as it stands.
