"Border Patrol officials have stated that the wall in the San Diego sector has helped reduce border apprehensions and the Arizona Republic and USA Today have reported that illegal migrants and drug traffickers avoid sections of the border with walls or fences. This means they have to make their way through ports of entry – in turn increasing the likelihood of detection."

"Construction cost estimates are usually within $20-25 billion, although some higher estimates reach $70 billion. But FAIR calculates the annual cost burden of illegal immigration has risen to $132 billion. And it could further increase to $200 billion by 2025. So, a border wall is actually a great return on our investment because it actually saves the U.S. taxpayer money in the long run."

"Just like any household, the United States has a welcome mat out front, but it also expects people not to sneak in through the back door. As in the case of other nations, being able to govern our borders is central to maintaining our national sovereignty, securing our citizens, and regulating commerce and travel coming from outside its borders. So why have a border wall along the Southern but not the Northern border? It’s simple. You plug the bigger hole in the dam."
