“[I]f a border wall stopped a small fraction of the illegal immigrants who are expected to come in the next decade, the fiscal savings from having fewer illegal immigrants in the country would be sufficient to cover the costs of the wall,” writes CIS Director of Research Steven Camarota.

Those facts don't take into account feelings, children's tears and the fact that the wall signifies a new war on women somehow.

What I get out of this chart, among other things, is it would save us money if we canceled all legal immigration and welcomed illegal immigration.

I kind of like that idea. If every immigrant was illegal, they'd get less services and we'd be able to kick them out at any point.

Actually, what it doesn't take into account is state vs. federal expenditures. The wall is a 100% federal expenditure. There's no way to tell how much of the savings will be realized by the federal government. Education and the criminal justice system, for example. California...huge savings at the state and local level. North Dakota...not so much.

I stopped reading after the first line: "the non-partisan Center for Immigration Studies".

The motto of the CIS is "Low Immigation, Pro Immigrant" -- whatever the f...k that doubletalk means.

Yes at some number the of immigrants the wall might pay for its self, but you can bet your a$$ its a lot more than 9%.

Because Mexico is paying for the wall

Link to Breitbart. Sure, that's legit. /sarcasm
