This CBS analysis ignores the effect that deportations would have on the invaders, cartels, open-borders NGOs and anti-American foreign governments. Also, reduce "foreign aid" and related obsolete state department divisions. Bring manufacturing and other profitable companies back home.

Roughly one month of what it cost to keep them here
... living in luxury.

[theyreallthesame]

You mean as opposed to the cost to feed, house, insure, provide medical to them and their offspring, social security, and such?

“Apprehending and deporting just 1 million people could cost taxpayers about $20 billion.”

I suppose it *could* cost $350 billion, hypothetically. It *could* exceed a trillion dollars.

[libh8er]

Put them on a container ship and have it make stops around South America.

[MMusson]

We can’t afford to send them home because FEMA already spent all the money settling them in America.

[God luvs America]

and three months of aid to Ukraine

[high info voter]

Is CBS trying to get an award for ignorance and stupid reporting???

Yeaaaa.... they WON!

[curious7]

Or he could simply announce a bounty (ears (or head) acceptable as proof) to kick in 30 days from now and most all of them would self-deport.

[hollywood12345]

Money well spent!

[mrmeyer]

It’ll cost less than what we’re sending to other countries and is worth every penny.

[jcmccorm]

I wonder what it has cost to have them transported by commercial air to places all over the United States?

[House Atreides]

But WHATEVER THE COST, the SAVINGS YIELDED would be vastly higher.

And our QUALITY OF LIFE will be substantially improved.

[Husker24]

Trump isn’t going to deport 20 million people. That’s a pipe dream, he needs to focus on the dangerous people, cut off welfare and a lot will self deport.

[1Old Pro]

Whatever it costs, it will be more than worth it.

[sten]

If we can give out and process thru the courts 150m+ traffic tickets every year...

we sure as shit can process 5m+ illegals every year until we can’t find anymore

[curious7]

And cutoff all the money sloshing around in the NGO pipeline since we’re kicking them out. That will save a billions, though it will curtail the politicians feathering their nest with our money.

[Sirius Lee]

Totally worth it.

[ridesthemiles]

$20,000 per person???

GLAD this bunch doesn’t do my household budget.

[farmguy]

How much can it cost for a prison bus ride to the border and shoving them across back into mexico.
