A wall is actually addressing the problem. It's doing SOMETHING! What do Democrats do? NOTHING because they want the future illegal immigrant vote. IT IS ALL PURE POLITICS.

Fools who speak of the cost of building a wall while totally ignoring the extreme cost of social programs taking care of illegal immigrants, are laughable.

These same fools simply play to their Liberal ideolog voting blocks.

If you read that, you will find that the wall does not actually address the problem. In fact, building a wall and deporting all illegal immigrants would almost certainly cost more.

On top of that, the cost of building the wall (tens of billions) is unrealistic, and where the wall has already been built, it has proven ineffective.

Lastly, deporting immigrants is expected to cost about $8,318 per immigrant to deport them, at a total cost of tens of trillions of dollars excluding the long term economic costs of deportation, which are expected to be trillions more.

For once, can you try to defend the merits of an idea instead of just attacking other people with baseless accusations?

My last statement to you. The wall is a one time cost. Social program costs go on forever and as we are seeing with the Left ideology, only grow and grow and grow until our nation will collapse from the debt.

It also costs more to send criminals to prison? Screw illegality, it's all about savings some bucks. I see you.

While I do support the wall, I do not believe we should deport the immigrants that came on our soil illegally. For we are already trillions of dollars in debt and do not need more debt. It's already bad.

Side: I Support It

I support it because at least there won't be war between the 2 countries, right?

Remember the simple truth ok? Liberals want illegal immigrants to come here to secure their voting blocks of low income people. The only time they will EVER address the debt is when they want to get an agendas passed. They are the biggest debt spenders this nation has ever seen. We spend 100's of billions of dollars each year on the interest to our 18 trillion debt!!!!!!!!!

The costs of supporting these illegl immigrants from cradle to grave would far out weigh the cost of any wall. They will fight anyone trying to prevent their voting blocks from coming to this nation. IT IS PURE POLITICS!

I'm not saying we need a wall as much as we need to deport any illegal immigrants who come across today. What we do with the illegal people born in this nation is a totally separate issue.

When you hear a Liberal talking about debt and spending, start laughing at them. THEY ARE TOTAL HYPOCRITES WHO COULD CARE LEESS ABOUT DEBT SPENDING UNLESS IT HELPS THEIR AGENDA SUCH AS GARNERING THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT VOTE IN THE FUTURE!

First thing you have said that is true.

With wall plus deportation, that is wrong.

(In my mind of a liberals point of view) No they don't want want illegal immigrants, they just want the borders to be less controlled so they have more freedoms.

The only time they will EVER address the debt is when they want to get an agendas passed. They are the biggest debt spenders this nation has ever seen. We spend 100's of billions of dollars each year on the interest to our 18 trillion debt!!!!!!!!!

(More from a libralized point of view) Oh really? And exactly how much do we spend in our military which ahem, your republicans and conservatives want so much. Oh and those odd nukey thingys

that can potentially flatten a thriving city? How much do we spend on those? And how about that wall you so desprately want built.

The costs of supporting these illegl immigrants from cradle to grave would far out weigh the cost of any wall. They will fight anyone trying to prevent their voting blocks from coming to this nation. IT IS PURE POLITICS!

Ok say we do build a wall, ok? That'll be around $100 Billion dollars, then we need guards. The length of the Mexican American border is 1,954 Miles. If we have a gaurd every hundred feet and lay them $20,000 dollars a year (the wage of the average soldier) that would be $20.5 Billion dollars a year on wages alone. Then we take the up keep of the wall. Another $1 Billion dollars a year.

I'm not saying we need a wall as much as we need to deport any illegal immigrants who come across today. What we do with the illegal people born in this nation is a totally separate issue.

That is not true! Liberals care just as much as we do! And how are they hypocrites? Do you even know the meaning of the word?

Side: I Don't Support It

Any candidate that proposes such an idea outs themselves as an individual who is incapable of realistically considering the costs and ramifications of their proposals, and cares more about pandering to an illogical group rather than figuring out legitimate means of solving issues.
