President Trump's wall is estimated at about $22 billion.
The estimated annual cost of illegal immigrants is $113 billion.
The wall will have paid for itself before it's finished being built!

I think President Trump is doing the perfect thing by focusing on deporting the worst criminals first: these beaners will be well known to ICE agents because of Obama's catch and release insanity. This also gets the public comfortable with the idea of doing the right thing. After all of the known trouble makers have been deported, I'm happy for President Trump to round up every last one of 'em who even had a speeding ticket. It seems reasonable to deport every last illegal because they are all criminals: their first act in our country was to commit a border violation... however I'd need to do a little bit of research to see what the consequences of doing that would be. Perhaps we should just deport those who have a history of consuming welfare or unemployment? The only deciding factor should be that America comes first.
