The savings are huge. Reducing the working population will force employers to offer more, take the long term unemployed off welfare and add more to the tax revenues.
Why bring race into the debate?

^^ Well said, Paul. It's simple economics, logic, and common sense. The border fence will pay for itself by reducing the massive cost of non-citizens here illegally. The leftists are race-baiting and stirring division.
The Cost of a Border Wall vs. the Cost of Illegal Immigration
Based on the NAS data, illegal border-crossers create an average fiscal burden of approximately $74,722 during their lifetimes, excluding any costs for their U.S.-born children. If a border wall stopped between 160,000 and 200,000 illegal crossers — 9 to 12 percent of those expected to successfully cross in the next decade — the fiscal savings would equal the $12 to $15 billion cost of the wall.
