Yep. Some simple numbers. There are about 12M of illegal aliens in the US today. Between them they pay $11.6B in taxes (approximated). The math is just not very complicated, particularly if you consider that public schooling for a single kid in the US costs about $10k/yr.

For reference the simplistic average rate for the American household of $10500 spread over an average household size of 2.5 comes out to around at $4200 per head, which yields $50.4B in potential taxes over an equivalent sized population.
- m0zg 8y agoThat's what I was pointing out, essentially. And that's just the very tip of the iceberg of how much it costs to de-facto have no Southern border.
