It will probably cost around a billion dollars. Remember. as Senator CORNYN reminded us. 1.1 million people are being arrested each day at that border. 1.1 million. How much does it cost to detain and process those people and deport them and move them out of the country or release them or catch and release. in which they then abscond and dont show up to be deported? Is it not better to reduce the number of arrests by creating an effective system that prevents crossing the border rather than all the expense of detecting and apprehending and deporting? We have had some good discussion. We have talked about these issues in a number of ways.
