They are estimating $10 billion to $12 billion. Well, do you know what? In comprehensive immigration reform, which I was proud to support last session, we had over $40 billion for border security. So apparently Donald Trump is building one-quarter of the wall, all directly with deficit spending. In comprehensive immigration reform, we not only paid for that border security, not only paid for that $40 billion and required people who were here illegally to pay fines and register and get right with the law, it actually would reduce the budget deficit by over $200 billion over 10 years. So what we have is one-quarter of the wall and deficit spending with Donald Trump. With Democrats, four times the wall and reduce the deficit by $200 billion.
