It makes sense to build the wall, given the following points:

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.

The estimated annual cost of illegal immigrants is $113 billion;

I smell bullshit

Hmm ... http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/sep/01/donald-trump/donald-trump-says-illegal-immigration-costs-113-bi/

Stop parroting what comes out of Trump's mouth. He consistently tells lies.

Even if the wall only stops 5% of the immigrants, it will pay for itself in less than 4 years...

Simple math by simple person creates highly questionable conclusion.

How much will it cost to house or execute the 5 violent illegal immigrant criminals that brutally murdered this lady and what is the current going rate to resurrect her so her kids can grow up with a mother. I'm having a hard time calculating the numbers, maybe you can come up with a estimated cost so I can decide on whether I would rather invest in a wall or in a steady stream of illegal criminals.

When you smell bullshit everywhere you go, maybe you ought to check under your own boot.
