As expensive as this works project is, why can't we ever get a cost benefit analysis to objectively determine if it's worth it?

I understand the net immigration from Mexico has been zero for the past 2 years.

Is this truly just some sort of feel good boondoggle?

According to different sources on Google - about an average of a $100 billion a year. The barrier is suppose to cost what, 10 billion?

Yeah, it's worth it.

I would love to see how this number is derived. Texas, Arizona, and California certainly don't appear to be running out of Mexicans. That number could be for "Mexicans" but not for Central Americans.

When I am below the Border Patrol Checkpoint in South Texas, I feel like I am in Mexico Light. Hidalgo County in particular.
