Basically if the Cost of the Wall + Ongoing Maintenance is exceeded by the savings generated by less illegals plus their dependents on welfare there is a positive net ROI for the project if the Wall annually prevents large amounts of migration.

Lets say each illegal household (i.e 2 illegals+their kids in the US) over their lifetime in the country costs the government approximately $500,000 over the course of a lifetime.

If the Wall stops 40,000 illegal immigrants per year, that is an annual net savings of $10,000,000,000

Can it stop 40,000 illegal immigrants? I think so - currently border patrol apprehends 400,000 people PER YEAR.

I invite scholars to add their own analysis and critique mine.

estimated it out of my dome

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/record-135-billion-a-year-for-illegal-immigration-average-8075-each-25000-in-ny/article/2635757

16k a year for about 20 years or so is a fair estimate (320k), present value of the cash being spent elsewhere/opportunity cost (180K)
