It's clear most of you work from home and don't hire anyone full time. The real cost, unless the wall is built with the latest spy technology will be staffing the operation after it's built. Take the cost of a border guard, x 4 for those on the night shift and 1 for every 500 yards of wall. Then the accommodation for the offices, transport, etc. Just rough figures to start everyone thinking.

Illegal immigrants come to the US for work and to provide a better life for their family. If the work was unavailable they would no longer come. And the immigrants here illegally would not stay.
However, to make sure the work that needs to be done continues to be done we would also need to start issuing more Visas and make legal immigration an easier process.

This is the obvious solution. The Agency angle can be closed, the person using agency staff is responsible for checking who is or isn't legal. Also, take away all benefits, driving licenses, housing, rights to stay with "anchor" babies. Cost less, stops a lot more illegals and the fines paid by the people giving illegals jobs and housing pays for everything.
Republicans will hate it.
