That's not my question. My question is "What are we getting for the money?"
Again, you seem to be suggesting "lower crime". I disagree, but let's play devil's advocate: how much lower do you think crime would be? Now divide that by the cost of the wall. That's your "per unit cost of lowering crime with a wall". What's the answer?

Haha, I want to know what we're getting in return for $$$ and you just said "let's see what happens...", which makes you sound like you're selling timeshares.
- patrickg_zill 10y agoSee, this is why I didn't bother to answer your question in detail: despite me supporting with sources my factually accurate statement concerning lower crime, you simply hand-waved it away with no evidence of your own, as I suspected that you would.
- dave_sullivan 10y agoHey man, I wish we could all get along, we're on the same team. I read your sources; they prove nothing. You think immigrants are more prone to crime and we should build a wall on the border of mexico? But you can't begin to quantify what we'd get for it? Then you say shit like, "Well let's just wait and see how it goes, haha..." You're on the wrong side of history, and you don't even know why.
