"Uh, no!"

by Chalky

Mar 9, 2017

"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday threw cold water on President Donald Trump’s insistence that Mexico will pay for his proposed border wall.

“Uh, no,” McConnell said flatly, asked whether he thinks Mexico will foot the bill in an interview with POLITICO Playbook’s Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer.

If constructed, a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border is expected, by some estimates, to cost $14 billion, if not much more. Even many Republicans are skeptical of the proposal because of the cost, and its biggest critics argue that it's unnecessary in addition to expensive."

ETS will probably say Mitch is a RINO.

LOL

AW Even if Mexico doesn't per se write a check to pay for the wall, wouldn't the fact that no more illegals come across the border actually pay for the wall? So the wall pays for itself?

So the wall pays for itself?

How much does each illegal family cost the US taxpayer? How much does it cost the individual state - in particular those border states? Below is just the cost for the American taxpayer -- Here is just the tip of the "iceberg" when it comes to the costs of illegals. Go to the fairus.org site to see the actual breakdown and you will find that $28.6 billion for just the American taxpayer a year. The cost of the wall between $12 and $15 billion. Plus some of that $12-15 billion will create jobs. :)

So looking at the numbers...why wouldn't we build a wall?

Key Findings -- - Illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers about $113 billion a year at the federal, state and local level. The bulk of the costs — some $84 billion — are absorbed by state and local governments. - The annual outlay that illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers is an average amount per native-headed household of $1,117. The fiscal impact per household varies considerably because the greatest share of the burden falls on state and local taxpayers whose burden depends on the size of the illegal alien population in that locality. - Education for the children of illegal aliens constitutes the single largest cost to taxpayers, at an annual price tag of nearly $52 billion. Nearly all of those costs are absorbed by state and local governments. (Texas spends over $3.5 billion a year to educate illegal aliens as of 2009.) - At the federal level, about one-third of outlays are matched by tax collections from illegal aliens. At the state and local level, an average of less than 5 percent of the public costs associated with illegal immigration is recouped through taxes collected from illegal aliens. - Most illegal aliens do not pay income taxes. Among those who do, much of the revenues collected are refunded to the illegal aliens when they file tax returns. Many are also claiming tax credits resulting in payments from the U.S. Treasury.
