Vice President-elect JD Vance has estimated Trump's actions could result in 1 million people being removed from the country each year, a pace the nonpartisan American Immigration Council estimated would cost about $88 billion annually. To deport all the people in the U.S. without authorization would take about a decade and cost nearly a trillion dollars, the council said.

Currently Congress has budgeted for housing of 41,500 detainees per day. If Trump proceeds with his plan they expect to need to budget for 24 times that total.

What do you scholars think will happen to our nation’s GDP if we ship out that many workers each year?
 
Trying to find something newer this is from 2017 But even with those numbers it looks like it would be cheaper to deport. They have the cost of deportation at $124 billion, so cost have con down!

But I tend to agree with this synapses.
  • Researchers agree that illegal immigrants overwhelmingly have modest levels of education — most have not completed high school or have only a high school education. There is also agreement that immigrants with this level of education are a significant net fiscal drain, creating more in costs for government than they pay in taxes.
  • The NAS estimated the lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) of immigrants based on their educational attainment. Averaging those estimates and applying them to the education level of illegal immigrants shows a net fiscal drain of $65,292 per illegal — excluding any costs for their children
  • Based on this estimate, there is a total lifetime fiscal drain of $746.3 billion. This assumes 11.43 million illegal immigrants are in the country based on the U.S. government's most recent estimate.
  • The fiscal cost created by illegal immigrants of $746.3 billion compares to total a cost of deportation of $124.1 billion, assuming a FY 2016 cost per deportation, or $67.6 billion using FY 2012 deportation costs.

check your source my man.

Oof.

Oof.
I did, Listing another link that list the data in a study. So according to this they $42 billion, So you can do $88 billion and be done with it or you can continue to do $42 billion a year? What is going to be cheaper.



Using the National Academies’ estimate of immigrants’ net fiscal impact by education level, we estimate that the lifetime fiscal drain (taxes paid minus costs) for each illegal immigrant is about $68,000, although this estimate comes with some caveats.• Illegal immigrants make extensive use of welfare. Based on government data, we estimate that 59 percent of households headed by illegal immigrants use one or more major welfare programs, compared to 39 percent of households headed by the U.S.-born.• Based on their use rate of major welfare programs, we estimate that illegal immigrants receive $42 billion in benefits, or about 4 percent of the total cost of the cash, Medicaid, food and housing programs examined in our study. However, this is only a rough approximation due to limitations in the data.

You realize the House is literally a propaganda arm of the GOP right?

Does it matter, I am pretty sure there is truth in those studies just because it does not fit the narrative of the Democratic party does it matter? The fact is it would cost less money to deport now then to continue the same path, I am not saying its right I am just saying its probable factual. Prime example is If in your school district suddenly had an influx of 60% of EL students how would that affect your district your funding? How would that affect your community?
