Immigrants cost the government $300billion annually. (I have heard other figures that are less than half that amount which is still substantial. ) $750 million maintenance is only .0025 of the $300 billion drain. The maintenance will easily cover itself in savings.

I believe the fence could be circumvented, but the costs to do so would be much higher to breach our borders . Maybe they need helicopters or balloons. But right now one illegal immigrant told me the coyotes are getting $7000 to smuggle illegal immigrants across our border.

Would you kindly cite the figure that half the illegal immigrants over stay their visas? I am curious.

Perhaps we need E Varify or some other system to weed out these people who overstay their welcome.

Sure. Can't remember where I first saw it, but this article claims it was cited in a recent court decision: https://cis.org/Arthur/Half-Il.....stays

And this says its about 40% total, but a much higher percentage of recent undocumented aliens: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/l.....30216

BTW, even Trump only claims that undocumented aliens cost the government $113 billion a year -- and that's federal, state and local. http://www.politifact.com/trut.....3-bi/ Others put it much, much lower.
