I just heard that a lot of US old folks are going to Mexico where their fixed incomes will go a lot further.

Of course all of their minor ailments will be handled on the local economy instead of becoming a further burder on the US taxpayer. And they won't be needing extra assistance when their income falls below the poverty level.

This is a great benefit to the US economy.

And then there's all those illegals who are coming here to work. Most of them (with their forged papers) pay social security in income tax.

Of course they can't claim social security benefits or tax rebates.
And most of their minor ailments are taken care of by pharmaceuticals smuggled in from Mexico.

They work for low pay.

This is a great benefit to the US economy.

If politicians had any sense they would work out some kind of swap.

And a bridge would be a darned sight cheaper to build than a 1300 mile wall.
