Annual cost of illegals crossing border

Costing USA for annual illegals.. $100 billion a year

Building a the wall will cost.. $13 billion a year (even if we pay for it so we don't damage existing relationship with mexico which could reduce our trade deficit from $58 billion)

Existing border security costs $12 billion a year

(My estimate for maintaining the new "wall" should be $12 billion a year as it shouldnt be more than the current border costs but thats worst case..another 12 billion yearly..so $24 billion a year maintenance cost on this new wall + one time fee of 13 billion a year.)

if it will reduce that $100 billion a year to..lets say, even at $50 billion a year minimum (worst case i hope). The wall will pay for itself easily while not hurting the $58 billion trade deficit between Mexico and US

Then its a better deal and reduce to future bad eggs from hatching and any ripple effects that illegals cost us tax payers/ families
ex: illegals - theft, murder, accidents, medical expenses..


So my verdict on this is.

STOP insulting mexico (because they will not pay for it) so our trade deficit with them will stay same at $58 billion

Just have tax payers pay a one time fee of $13 billion + $24 billion annual fee (worst case)

Reduce the illegals costing the US from $100 billion to $50 billion (hoping). They need to research how much these border' megawalls" save countries first to validate idea
