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.
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.

Bullshit report that pulls numbers out of its ass to arrive at the conclusions it wants. The link I provided above already addressed this.

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

It isn't everywhere I go. Only when I step into this place.
