What's really behind the US - Mexico wall?
... The truth about the [border] wall is that a wall will keep illegal drugs out of the United States. By doing that, billions of dollars will be kept in the country.
Most legal drugs come to the United States across its 2,000 mile long southern border with Mexico. “Drug cartels in Mexico utilize drug mules, tunnels…and couriers to get illegal drugs into America. Mexican drug cartels make an estimated $19-$29 billion a year on drug sales in the United States.”
Furthermore, “U.S. authorities estimate that the Mexican drug cartels send between $19 billion and $29 billion back to Mexico from the United States, according to the Department of Justice. Authorities successfully seize millions of dollars each year that are being smuggled back south to Mexico from the United States. Still, it is a fraction of the estimated profits for the cartels.”...
These experts estimate that in New York city alone, at least one percent of the population—80,000 plus—spends $200 on illicit drugs (on a weekend). That alone would amount to $16 million dollars a week or $832 million a year, just in New York.
The cost to build Trump’s wall between the United States and Mexico is estimated by its opponents to be about $25 billion.
If a $25 billion wall keeps $60 billion in drug money in the the United States, then the wall is paid for in a year and the people of the United States have at least $30 billion more to spend on other infrastructure projects.
When $25 billion does not go to Mexico, Mexico is in fact paying to build the wall...
Add to the money from illegal drugs the remittance money sent out of the country by illegals in the United States, and we’re talking real money leaving the country.
“Ilegal immigrants [aliens] residing in the U.S. send $50 billion in remittances to their home countries each year, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The World Bank estimates that number is even higher, closer to $120 billion.”—Immigrationreform.com
A wall between the United States and Mexico could mean another $100 billion a year stays in the United States. That money could be used to make America great again.
The real need for a wall between the United States and Mexico is to keep drugs out of the United States, to stop the flow of remittance, and then to stop the flow of illegal aliens...
When the Mexican drug cartels stand to lose billions, you know they will oppose president Trump the same way they oppose others who cross them...
