Summary

83% Informative

Deporting 11 million people over four years would cost more than 20 times what the nation spent a year on deporting people living in the U.S. Most of that would be new funding that would have to be approved by a majority of both chambers of Congress .

CBS News' analysis of immigration system data found: Apprehending and deporting just 1 million people could cost taxpayers about $20 billion .

Immigration courts in the U.S. currently face a backlog of 3.7 million cases, according to records obtained by Syracuse University .

It would take eight more years and 700 additional judges to eliminate the existing backlog entirely.

Deporting millions of migrants could negatively impact the economy and job market.

Undocumented immigrants paid $59.4 billion in federal taxes and $37.3 billion to state and local taxes.
