Ten percent of container traffic by road or rail at best is searched. That’s it. There’s simply too much traffic.

And yet…
Oh and that’s not true either.
Oh it definitely is true.
How do you know any of this?
How do you know they were being smuggled over that 15mi area?
How do you know they still aren’t?

Spending on curbing climate change can 100% be presented as long term defense spending.

Illegal immigration is a huge burden on US tax payers:
“Public education is where the real big cost comes in,” Randy Capps, the director for research for U.S. programs at the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute told NBC News this year. “The amount of taxes that the parents pay on their earnings, that they pay through property taxes — passed through on their rent — it’s not going to be as much as is spent on public education for their kids and food stamps for their kids.”
“The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimated it cost public schools $59.8 billion to educate the children of illegal immigrants, and almost the entirety of this cost, 98.9 percent, is borne by taxpayers at the local and state level, through property taxes, according to a 2016 study.”
(Emphasis mine.)
One of the things I learned when looking a many of these failing inner city schools is how many of their students are illegal immigrants. Guess what these schools have in common? Over crowded and underfunded. Heck you even acknowledged that yourself about the schools in Dover. Then of course there’s the costs of healthcare, housing, and all other welfare programs that they can potentially get. There’s also a criminal and drug component which puts costs onto our legal system. There’s also the social and environmental costs that comes with overcrowded communities. As far as I’m concerned our Southern border along with our loose and irrational immigration laws are the biggest existential threat to our country.
which doesn’t prevent invasion in any way
From my research it will cost about 20 billion dollars to build the wall. The cost of illegal immigration on the US taxpayer is in the area of 100 billion, most of it being education:
“The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimated it cost public schools $59.8 billion to educate the children of illegal immigrants, and almost the entirety of this cost, 98.9 percent, is borne by taxpayers at the local and state level, through property taxes, according to a 2016 study.”
Now that’s just education. So over a 10 year period one can make the case that illegal immigration costs the US taxpayer over a trillion dollars. So do the math 20 billion is much less than 1 trillion.

The court doesn’t rule on the validity of the emergency but whether or not the President has that power.
