Deporting undocumented immigrants could cost as much as $25 billion, report says
FOX News Latino ^ | February 10, 2015

If the roughly four to five million immigrants who could benefit from President Barack Obama’s executive order were to be deported, it would come with a price tag of about $25 billion.

That was the estimate by Politico, which said it came up with the figure based on a variety of sources.

Politico estimated that it costs roughly $7,200 to deport someone. The Department of Homeland Security told Politico that it costs closer to $8,661.

Deportations have skyrocketed under Obama, reaching a record – more than 2 million since he became president.

The president, however, has accused Congress of not budgeting enough funds to properly enforce immigration laws, Politico noted.

A report from the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel said that Obama’s executive action “is designed to respond to the practical reality that the number of aliens who are removable under the [Immigration and Naturalization Act] vastly exceeds the resources Congress has made available to DHS for processing and carrying out removals.”

[ Just DO NOT hire them, DO NOT feed them, DO NOT care for them in the EMERGENCY ROOMS ... they’ll take a train home! Why should I pay for this? ]

I disagree, care for them at the ER, and change the Mexican government 1000X the cost of the treatment, (if they don’t pay,start taking Mexican oilfields) after a few years we COULD have free health care courtesy of Mexico...

Or the Illegal issue would be solved.

Deny them any welfare or rights. They’ll voluntarily deport themselves.

Do it! $25B is chump change compared to what it will cost us if they are given amnesty.

The solution is simple and obvious. Illegals caught within the United States should be fined twice the cost of their deportation. Half the money should be use to pay for their deportation and some of the rest of the money should be used to tattoo “No Authorized to be in the United States of America” on the forehead and on each forearm. The rest of the money should be placed into a fund to pay for the increased cost of a second deportation not to their country of origin but to Yemen. That ought to solve the crime-alien problem.

One way Greyhound bus fare from Los Angeles to Tijuana is $9. I pledge $90 to sponsor a family of 10 deportees.

Cut off the jobs and benefits, most of them will leave.

“In a world where Obama routinely spends over $1 Trillion per year - that’s 1,000 Billion dollars per year - what’s another $25 Billion?”

Then there’s the $503 million the “military” spends on Viagra! I guess all those pussies we have masquerading as “generals and “admirals” can’t get it up! Particularly this “rear” admiral that’s the Pentagon’s equivalent of Josh Earnest. I finally know what the Navy needs “rear” admirals for! It’s amazing what someone will do to keep their military pension! I marvel at how when he goes on TV that the makeup artists can cover up the “brown stain” on his nose.

Couldn’t agree more. It would be a bargain. We would probably save a 500 billion dollars in benefits if they were gone.

Money well spent.

Just government pocket change! The big dig in Boston is estimated to cost 24.3 billion. Would be worth every penny!

I imagine the word you wanted to use is CHARGE. I would suggest as a first step that we merely cut off our foreign aid to Mexico. That would probably cover the H/C costs for illegals. We should station ICE at all our hospital ERs and take the illegals from the treatment room to the border.
