Halting Invasion Will Pay for Trump’s Wall 4x Over Every Year
The Third World invasion costs American taxpayers at least $113 billion every year, a figure which will pay for the expected $20 to $25 billion cost of building a wall along the U.S.–Mexican border four times over every year—a fact which leftist hysteria over the proposal completely ignores.
According to a 2013 report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the annual cost of illegal immigration amounts to $29 billion at the federal level alone every year—a figure which by itself would cover the cost of building a new wall along the entire border every year.
At state and local level, the cost of illegal immigration is $84 billion per year, the FAIR report revealed.
The study also estimated tax collections from illegal alien workers... Those receipts do not come close to the level of expenditures...

... Here's a listing of some of these illegals-pay-for-the-wall ideas, with references to more detailed discussions of these ideas.
-
Put a 2 percent fee on all outgoing remittances; the rate is low enough to discourage alternative ways of sending money to the homelands, and the paper created will give IRS good leads for collecting unpaid income taxes. (See here and here.)
-
Demand a genuine Social Security number tied to the beneficiary before any income tax refunds are made.
-
Terminate the current practice of allowing Additional Child Tax Credit benefits to go to children (often of illegals) who lack Social Security numbers.
- Eliminate the current and hard-to-believe food stamps ruling that lets some families with illegal alien wage earners get benefits when all-citizen families of the same size and at the same income are denied benefits.
In addition, and this would cover all the people involved, including legal residents of this country and legal residents of Mexico, start collecting a small cover charge for those crossing into the United States; 25 cents for a pedestrian, $1 for a car, and $5 for a bus.
None of these proposals would depress the Mexican economy, all would help fund the wall, and most would have absolutely no impact on the vast majority of American taxpayers, and all (but the crossing fees) would encourage illegal aliens to return home.
