"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."

The initial investment in building a border wall could be offset by the long-term savings in social services, law enforcement, and other costs associated with illegal immigration.
