Liberals missed every day that logic was taught in school.

I just have to shake my head when leftists scream about cost now that Obama is out:
Obama spent $830 billion on a "stimulus" package the White House sold it as a way to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent. The stimulus failed on its own terms. 2009 marked the first of four straight years when unemployment averaged more than 8 percent.). $10 trillion was added to the national debt during Obama's watch, and the fed printed around $4.5 trillion under Obama nominated chairmen.
Let's not forget Obama's broken window fallacy: Cash for Clunkers costs taxpayers $24,000 per car
Let's also not forget leftist's darling economist said "Debt doesn't matter."

It makes sense to build the wall, given the following points:
The wall's estimated cost of about $22 billion;
The estimated annual cost of illegal immigrants is $113 billion;
The useless fucking ObamaCare website cost $3 billion.
Even if the wall only stops 5% of the immigrants, it will pay for itself in less than 4 years... even if we don't get cash from Mexico... and I'm sure we will.
Here's a list of just a few of the border barriers that are either being built or are under preparations to be built in the near future: (source)
Norway and Russia
Kenya and Somalia
Hungary and Serbia
Ukraine and Russia
Israel and Gaza
Thailand and Malaysia
Saudi Arabia and Iraq (source)
Americans who claim that building a wall is impossible or a bad investment are either ignorant or are so full of hate they'd prefer America to burn rather than agree with Trump.

The wall is a much better investment. Just want to say that it does not cost 3 billion to make a website. Please if I'm wrong correct me but I have always found it surprising a website could cost that much. I bet they used it as an excuse to funnel money through to give to themselves while saying it was all for the website.

The broken Obamacare website, which never worked properly even when people aren't getting timeout errors, cost somewhere between two and five billion dollars.
No, there is no reason any website should cost more than the GDP of the Maldives.

Why would an illegal immigrant be jailed for life? Aren't they simply deported?

I'll take shot on the dark you didn't read the article or the related articles I linked to.
5 illegal immigrants, one of which who had already been deported before for being a criminal, kidnapped and brutally murdered a woman who had 4 kids. I can't say for sure if they will get life in prison, I'm sure the SJW cucks would prefer to give them job training and citizenship, but if there is any sanity left in this country we can only hope they rot in prison or get flayed alive in the public square.

we should set up a program with the mexicans, where they'll get deported strait to a mexican jail.
