Not expanding US - Mexico wall would be beneficial to US economy

Types

Quotes that support the claim

we consider a more extreme border wall expansion that, in addition to the segments constructed by the Secure Fence Act, “fills in” half of the remaining uncovered border. We estimate that such an extension would further harm college educated U.S. workers (whose income would fall by $7.60) and lead to an increase in income for less educated U.S. workers of only $0.58.
