Discounting Democrats’ complaint that President Donald Trump’s wall will allegedly cost American taxpayers $5 billion, a report reveals that illegal immigration costs taxpayers $155 billion a year – 31 times more.
On Monday, the president got together with key Democrats leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer at the Oval Office to discuss wall funding. The following day at a volatile conference, he exposed the two for supporting open borders after they complained about the billions of dollars it would cost taxpayers to build a continuous 2,000-mile wall across the United States-Mexico border from California’s Pacific Coast to Texas’ Gulf Coast.

“Amid the threat of a government shutdown, Democrats are offering $1.3 billion for border fencing and barriers, while Trump has requested $5 billion,” WND reported.
