There are 11 million people living without legal authorization in the U.S. , and Trump would have the authority, as president, to deport those people.

But it would be very expensive to pay for the immigration officers, immigration judges, detention facilities and more that would be required to do so.

Estimates on the cost of mass deportation range from US$88 billion a year to $300 billion .

Trump has talked about using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as a way to get around judicial review and immigration courts.

This law allows a president, during a time of war, to detain and deport people born in an enemy nation.

Trump won’t have the authority to deport people under this act, unless there is a war with or invasion by another nation.
