23% of Federal inmates are illegal immigrants!!!!
The net cost of operations for the Bureau of Prisons in 2017 was roughly 7.6 Billion.

23% of 7.6 Billion is 1,748,000. Theoretically, all prisoner costs being equal, illegals in federal prison cost roughly 1.75 Billion per year.

At that rate, it takes 2 years and 10 months to equal the 5 Billion requested for the wall. That is just for keeping the ones caught and judged guilty locked up. It does not begin to figure in the cost of capture and prosecution, let alone the high damages perpetrated on their victims.

If American schools taught math properly, the anger against Pelosi and Schumer would increase, not exponentially, but logarithmically.
