Cutting welfare to illegal aliens would pay for Trump’s wall

Mexico won’t have to pay for the wall, after all. US taxpayers won’t have to pick up the tab, either. The controversial barrier, rather, will cover its own cost just by closing the border to illegal immigrants who tend to go on the federal dole.

That’s the finding of recent immigration studies showing the $18 billion wall President Trump plans to build along the southern border will pay for itself by curbing the importation of not only crime and drugs, but poverty.

Good luck with this.

The issue would have to be adjudicated (and won) in the U.S. Supreme Court before anything could come of it.

I looked, and there's a Congressman still pushing for legislation to tax remittances.  Apparently the state of Oklahoma already does it.
