So, wait, when I pay federal taxes I'll be paying for a two-year supply (at minimum) of food, clothes, and shelter for people who shouldn't even be here in the first place?
Gee thanks! So the wall isn't going to be literally a wall, our already overcrowded prisons will be stuffed with even more bodies, and the alphabet agencies responsible for the mess still won't be held accountable. (I'm sure you thieving cocksuckers will want to build more billion dollar prisons too, just to house all these people)
Feels like Obama all over again.

Things don't flip a switch and get a hundred percent better, it happens in stages. Initially there will be a decrease in spending on welfare for those removed from the country, as well as those we remove from the prison system. I'm sure, as long as America's really put first, there will be adjustments made to continue to decrease the burden on our system.

Translation: American tax dollars will be lining the pockets of more politicians, the prison system will still be fucked, and it will all be more expensive than what wr were doing before.
You must be young, was this your first time voting?
