Study: Border Controls Cheaper Than Mass Immigration
by Nick Hallett
Restoring full passport and security checks between European Union (EU) nations would be more cost effective than allowing the migrant crisis to continue indefinitely, a German economic institute has said.
Stop right there.
Isn’t that an excellent argument for the dissolution of the European Union itself?
The Munich-based Ifo institute said the reinstating border controls could reduce the EU’s economic output by 0.19 to 0.47 per cent each year, equivalent to €26.65 to €65.8 billion.
However, Gabriel Felbermayr, head of Ifo, said that these costs would be “just a small part of the amount that would be caused by uncontrolled mass immigration.”
One of the countries that has been worst affected by the ongoing migrant crisis is Sweden, which will likely need to spend around 600 billion kroner to fund last year’s immigration levels.
Stockholm University Associate Professor Jan Tullberg factored in the costs of extra policing and higher benefits along with the immediate costs of receiving so many migrants, and found that the Swedish state will have to spend some 580 billion kroner (£48.3 billion) on these new Swedes from now until the time they either leave the country or die.
Europeans are on a cusp.
A cusp of doom. On the cusp of whether or not their culture will survive an inundation by other cultures who will 1) not assimilate and 2) have radically different values.
Values.
On that same note, in the US, from Pew Research Center polls taken March 17th – 27th of this year:
DO YOU SUPPORT BUILDING A WALL ALONG THE ENTIRE BORDER WITH MEXICO?
Overall:
OPPOSE THE WALL 62%
FAVOR THE WALL 34%
Then:
Republicans:
FAVOR THE WALL 63%
OPPOSE THE WALL 33%
Then:
Demorats:
OPPOSE THE WALL 84%
FAVOR THE WALL 13%
A wall on our border with Mexico would save hundreds of lives, perhaps even thousands of lives, here in the US and Mexico.
It would save lives in the US by keeping illegals from murdering lawful American citizens.
It would save lives in Mexico by keeping coyotes from taking advantage of those persons crossing who are murdered and, by those attempting to cross who are unprepared.
That doesn’t even take into account the drug trafficking. And the thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of American lives ruined because of methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin manufactured and then transported by the Mexican cartels in to the US.
Israel built the wall between itself and the “Palestinian Authority” and it works.
But now we’re not much interested in that?
Can we learn from Europe?
Will we learn from Europe?

I support building a wall and closing the borders 100%, I have for a long, long time. Make it so, Number 1!
Agreed. Absolutely agreed. AND increase Border Patrol staff and LET THEM DO THEIR JOBS. They LOVE to do their jobs. Take off their handcuffs.

First is to let CBP do their jobs, second, use the National Guard until the wall is completed… And allow counter-fire if they are fired on! Time to stop playing PC games!!!
Any wall building must be accomplished in strategic locations and coupled with the proper mix of manpower and resources. Before increasing the number of agents, the hiring process and training need to be revamped; a culture shift must re-occur within the agency; the union must be removed and leadership needs to be empowered to make decisions in the field. If the agency is to grow any larger, it must be re-structured and taken out from under CBP and made its own agency under DHS. Air support and all other operational equipment/support must be their own. The NG is a great idea (and is currently being used in a limited role). All NG activity must be in a supporting/non-enforcement role with BP in the lead on deployment/assignment.
But before any of this can occur, the administration must be in support of the BP’s immigration law enforcement mission.
100% border closure can never be achieved without Mexico being earnestly involved (barring armed borders, that is). The Merida Initiative is merely Mexico getting a check and equipment from the U.S. without delivering anything in return.
Do whatever is necessary to STOP the ILLEGAL ENTRY into our USA.
I don’t care how they do it, but DO IT !!!!!!
Shoot and kill must be available to use if these illegal aliens do not halt as commanded.
One month of killing these intruders would stop this.
