Now they are complaining that it is too expensive: It is outrageous,
in the words from the Senator from Illinois. I want to point out that
although the President's proposal would cost $18 billion--it is over 10
years, so $1.8 billion a year--the Senator from Illinois has proposed a
naked amnesty bill that would cost $26 billion over 10 years. That is
right; $18 billion is too much to secure our southern border to build a
wall and provide more agents and buy more technology, but $26 billion
to provide more welfare for illegal immigrants after they get amnesty
is A-OK. I would also point out that a lot of Democrats supported the Secure
Fence Act just over a decade ago--building over 700 miles the physical
barrier on our southern border. Maybe I can propose new grounds for
starting negotiations.
