Plan would take at least 20 years to implement.
Presidential candidate Donald Trumps plan to deport all undocumented immigrants would cost between $400 billion and $600 billion and take at least 20 years to implement, according to a report from the American Action Forum.
The report estimates that there are currently 11.3 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States. To deport them, these individuals would have to be apprehended, detained, legally processed, and transported back to the country they originated from.
In order to do this in two years like Trump has proposed, the report estimates that there would need to be 90,582 federal immigration apprehension employees, 348,831 immigration detention beds, 1,316 immigration courts, 32,445 federal attorneys to process undocumented immigrants, and a minimum of 17,296 chartered flights and 30,701 chartered bus trips.

Money well spent. Illegals go home.
They all have homes in mexyco where do all the wire transfer go. Yeah.
that’s about the cost of letting them stay for one year. I call it a bargain.
It is substantially more than that. You can also add into that remittances to the tune of $120 billion per year. That is money that illegal workers send home to their home countries in a sort of perverse reverse tourism. Tourists come to our country and leave their money. Illegals come here take our money and send it back to their home country to support their families.
If they are e-verified and can’t get jobs, won’t some of them leave? Obviously drug dealers and criminals won’t, but others might, right?
‘zackly.
If you allow citizens to shoot intruders in their homes, why can’t citizens shoot intruders in their home country?
Biometric data/dna still bothers me if it gets applied to every citizen. I don’t trust government with that kind of knowledge.
They are good roofers.
The crew at my house could roof but speeky no eenglksh
There would be a million ways to make them all self-deport.
We can use all the money we’re going to save from cutting off federal aid to sanctuary cities. That’s no problem at all.
will cost very little to get rid of the illegal aliens...
why should we get stuck with expensive plane tickets...put them on a bus if need be...
cease the bennies, arrest a few, ID them with finger prints and photos and deport, a lot more will flee for the border by themselves...
“Trumps Deportation Plan Would Cost at Least $400 Billion”
Fixing foolish errors of judgment can be EXPENSIVE. Avoid foolish errors of judgment.
Yep, like I said, get rid of obamacare and its a push.....Heck we might even MAKE money!
They failed to net out 1. welfare 2 Health care 3. education costs 3 unearned income tax credits, criminal detention system costs. Net plus of $1 Trillion!!
Another bullsh__ Obama straw man argument.
Present all the downsides of one side of the decision
without mentioning those of the alternative.
If we can put a man on the moon...
Complete nonsense. It is a matter of enforcing our laws, take away the freebies and most will leave. The hardened criminal element will need to be arrested and deported but they are good at getting into trouble regularly so they can be dealt with as they are encountered.
They never want to say how much we will save by not having so many overwhelming our schools, social programs, medical, jails...the savings will be enormous. Not to mention jobs opening up for citizens.
Even if true, 400 billion well spent, compared to the f35 boondoggle.
