hookrider, You'd think after her saying so clearly

Perhaps if you were a US taxpayer, the cost associated with illegal immigration would bother you more.
But...you are NOT a US taxpayer.

she would be able to come up with some decent figures.

Of course there would be the cost of dealing with refugees or asylum seekers at the border. And in the USA.
Abbott has added to that cost with his bus brigades. And money given to Mexico to help them stem the flow.

Still the GWBush Center back in 2016 was saying

Benefits of Immigration Outweigh the Costs

Essay by Pia Orrenius

Contributions immigrants make are an economic boost we cannot overlook.



Immigration has emerged as a top issue in the presidential campaign. The timing is odd since immigration into the United States has slowed sharply.

Issuance of green cards, or permanent resident visas, to new arrivals has been largely flat since 2008, but dipped in 2013 to a six-year low. Illegal immigration is near record lows, with migrant apprehensions along the Southwest border at levels last seen in the 1970s. Temporary work-based visas have risen slightly in recent years but remain below their 2007 peak. Plotting visas and migrant apprehensions as a share of the nation’s working-age population, reinforces the point that immigration is slowing in both absolute and relative terms.

Sure things have changed since 2016, but conix was saying the same things in 2016 as she says today. .

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
