What Mass Deportation Would Cost

I think that’s pretty low in the order of priorities.

So your deportation scheme will be based on race and national origin rather then legal status?

Why would the percentage that their nationality represents even come into questions about deportation? Shouldn't it depend on legal status alone.

Ahh they include Indians in the Asian category.

"they" is whom.


While it is technically accurate to identify Indians as "Asians" it is highly inappropriate as they are "south Asians along with Pakistanis etc.

But Americans call their indigenous population "indians" so which is it?

They are included in undocumented counts from Asia. They are from the Asian continent. He didn't know that India was in Asia.

The people in the cite counted Indians (from India) along with the "Chinese" (my word from earlier)

The cite was used to show how MANY Asians were here illegally. (and they counted Indians among that total)

Good thing I used the more specific Chinese moniker then eh?

If you'd post things less knee jerky and more logically, your arguments might have some substance.

How much will deportation cost again? (over a single year)
 
Napoleon said:
Drop them off there anyway. The top five nations of origin are:

1) Mexico
2) El Salvador
3) India
4) Guatemala
5) Honduras

We have diplomatic relations with all of those.

You can't unless they allow it

$88 billion annually to deport one million people a year. Deport more people per year and the costs accelerate accordingly.

The costs incurred are multifaceted.... affecting numerous and varrying sectors of the economy.

Unemployment is very low and foreign labor is baked into the American economy.

OP’s source estimates it would cost a total of $315 billion to deport them all in a single operation vs $967.9 billion if done gradually over a period exceeding 10 years.

We can and we do. Whether or not you think we should is not the same thing as can’t. There are several people in this thread struggling with the meaning of that word.

deportation

If a judge rules that the deportation proceeds, the receiving country of the person being deported must agree to accept them and issue travel documents before the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement can carry out the removal order.
 


Going to bump. Decide for yourself if it's realistic in anyway.

Also, search out John Oliver's piece last night.

What Mass Deportation Would Cost ​

The cost could be significantly defrayed if the fines imposed on employers of illegals were jacked up the way Trump wants to jack tariffs up on all imported goods.

Or we could demand the home Nations of the illegals pay for the cost of returning them to their own country.

The American Immigration Council estimated that it could cost $88 billion annually to deport one million people a year. The removal of millions of construction, hospitality and agriculture workers could reduce the U.S. gross domestic product by $1.7 trillion.


So we reduce the US gross domestic product meaning our economy shrinks by a huge amount and we are going to spend what $880 billion to deport people that want to work? This doesn't make sense....and it still will not remove everyone...and that doesn't even touch what it will cost us in foster care, lost taxes (US citizens that will leave with their spouses or remain single and pay less taxes, or the welfare that the parentless children will receive, because they are citizens). Yeah, so much hate that some are willing to sink the country instead of actually coming to a bipartisan plan on immigration reform.

Mass deportation would come with hefty bill, require more manpower, immigration experts say

Bankrolling mass deportation would be costly. It would also require a lot more manpower.

Yaaawn....cost! shmost!

This is the same argument as the wall. Remember!!! Trump will build the wall and Mexico will pay for it....

Now back to reality....



Cost:
The total cost of border wall construction during Trump's administration is estimated at approximately $15 billion

The cost per mile has been significant, with early construction costing roughly $25 million to $30 million per mile.

The Trump administration completed about 458 miles of border wall. However, only 52 miles of this was new primary wall where no barriers previously existed

The majority of the construction (351 miles) replaced existing, smaller barriers with larger, more robust fencing

The total U.S.-Mexico border is approximately 1,954 miles long. Before Trump took office, there were about 654 miles of primary barriers . After Trump's presidency, there were 706 miles of primary barriers. In terms of new primary wall coverage where none existed before, Trump's administration added about 2.7% (52 miles out of 1,954 miles) to the total border length. If considering all construction (new and replacement), Trump's administration worked on about 23.4% of the total border length (458 miles out of 1,954 miles), and of course American Tax payer paid for it.

so.....rinse and repeat!

Diving Mullah

How do you make those countries pay? They can just simply refuse to receive the deported person.

We make them pay the same way President Donald Trump made Mexico pay for his "big beautiful wall".

They will take them because we will just drop them out overhead with parachutes if they won't allow us to land them by the plane load.

Making them pay, we could start with sanctions, move up to embargoes, squeeze them real tight, then if all else fails we threaten military actions, lord knows their citizens are members of an invasion force and are the enemy within, it would only be fitting.

Why wouldn't it work? With the Chinese we just need to airdrop their illegals over all of those islands they insist are theirs out in the China Sea. Who is to stop us? I am just thinking like a reelected KING MAGAT. We got more military than anyone else and more nukes. I mean, if we aren't going to nuke hurricanes why not use them to threaten everyone else?
