All of a sudden, leftists are trying to pretend they are fiscal conservatives. They bitch and whine and moan about the cost of the border wall which is expected to be about $20 billion dollars. They ignore the fact that the border wall not only pays for itself, but even nets the country money over the first ten years of it’s completion. By keep diseasesed illegals out of this country who come here, drop their anchor babies and go on welfare, Americans would save $64 over the first ten years of the border wall. What’s not to like about that? Unless of course you are an open borders amnesty pimping hack like all Democrats or songbird John McCain.

Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, said an existing body of research estimates the fiscal impact of undocumented immigrants based on their education level, which officials can typically pinpoint.
“Once you know the education level of illegal immigrants, you plug it in and you can come up with an estimate,” Camarota said.
The study also estimates that each American citizen pays about $75,000 over their lifetime to account for illegal immigration costs.
Casone noted that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has received criticism for its recent raids rounding up undocumented immigrants, most of whom have criminal histories. Camarota said he believes this criticism is unwarranted.
