Trump wants a mass deportation program. How much could it cost?

Summary

Nutrition label

75% Informative

A new report estimates that to deport even one million undocumented immigrants a year would cost over $88 billion dollars annually , for a total of $967.9 billion over more than ten years .

The American Immigration Council estimates ICE would need to hire 30,000 new officers to carry out such a large-scale deportation operation.

Trump has promised to deport all of the 11 million people living in this country without legal immigration status.

Using the military for domestic law enforcement would be a fundamental shift, one which Banks argues too few Americans have considered or grappled with.

For example, uniformed military officers are not trained in law enforcement and if they were asked to conduct civilian arrests there could be significant civil liberties conflicts and violations.

Banks: "It would turn out whole society upside down all these arguments about him being an autocrat or dictator".
