Nothing against our beloved visitors. Its just I have a conscientious objection because, when it comes to such things being paid for out of my pocket, I just don't agree with that politically. So I should be exempt, as my reward for first not agreeing with the wall politically.
The hidden costs are ones you don't see at first site. However they are there. Stagnation of wages hits in so many ways, customers can't afford to buy so much, tax revenues fall, welfare rises, real unemployment, housing shortages, education, healthcare, etc. Saying that the more people paying in equals the more raised is stupid. The governing factor is what's in the wage packet, not the number of packets.

All these things are hidden from you.
