President Trump launched another battle for border security on Monday, calling for $8.6 billion in funding for the Wall in his proposed federal budget for next year. Predictably, top Democrats came out swinging, bashing a border wall as “expensive and ineffective.”

Truth is, the Democrats aren’t leveling with the public about the billions we are already forced to spend on shelters, food, diapers, medical care and child care for migrants sneaking across the border and claiming asylum.

Trump has tried several strategies to protect taxpayers from these rip-offs. First, he
barred illegal migrants from asking for asylum, requiring that asylum seekers enter the country through official ports of entry. That would have reduced their numbers considerably. But in November, a federal district judge, also from the Ninth Circuit, nixed the president’s regulation.

Then Trump devised a “Remain-in-Mexico” arrangement to make Mexico the waiting room for asylum seekers. As long as they are south of the border, the US doesn’t have to house them, and they have no “right” to public schooling and emergency medical care on our tab. The program, if successful, will save American taxpayers a bundle. It’s one way Mexico is already helping to pay for the Wall.
Democrats claim it’s a waste to spend billions on a wall. But the facts show that we can’t afford not to build it. As the cover of the president’s new budget says, “taxpayers first.”
