A new analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies indicates that even if President Trump’s proposed border wall costs the high estimate of $16 billion, it would still pay for itself in three years of operation and could save $64 billion over a 10-year period. The savings would come from eliminating welfare, education, and other associated lifetime costs to federal, state and local taxpayers to care for the  immigrants who sneak across the border each year,reports the Washington Examiner.
