#3 Or the cost of welfare each day for each thousand illegal "immigrants"?

Or the amount of money they send back home? Or the amount of taxes they skip? Or the jobs lost?

#4 Sure it costs something, but don't we have options? This seems like a perfect mission for a small airbase with 5 C-130 gunships that can fly around at night and a dozen A-10's to rule the Earth during the day. Gas and Ammo. Do we really need to attack them from 30,000 ft with Navy Jetfighters? Maybe we do, but seems like we have some hardcore, low cost, extremely effective options.

#6 What is it going to cost us if we *don't* deal with the problem?

Like Frank says, hearts and minds. And blowing stuff up.
