Lady Checkmate's headline: "Trump’s Border Wall Could Pay for Itself by Cutting Welfare to Illegal Immigrants"

With President Donald Trump set to visit San Diego on Tuesday to inspect the eight border wall prototypes that have been built, a new study has found that the controversial barrier could cover its own cost.
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, the $18 billion wall will pay for itself by curbing the importation of crime, drugs and illegal immigrants who tend to go on the federal dole.

Hispanics make up less than a quarter of all welfare recipients in the US. This sounds like an excuse to pull funding from social programs.
Total welfare cost: $158.2 billion
Military: $886 billion

Hi Worriedforthefuture. Please stop race-baiting. We're discussing illegal aliens AND "Trump’s Border Wall Could Pay for Itself by Cutting Welfare to Illegal Immigrants", not "Hispanics" AND fyi, illegal aliens come in ALL races and ethnicities (not just one). Again, Please stop race-baiting.
