Mass Deportations Would Save Americans $62 Billion a Year: The Only Thing More Expensive Than Deporting Illegals… Is Not Deporting Them

Mass Deportations Would Save Americans $62 Billion a Year:
The only thing more expensive than deporting illegals… is not deporting them.
“It would cost hundreds of billions of dollars to deport every undocumented immigrant in our country,” Senator Dick Durbin warned.
After losing the open borders debate and the election, Democrats and their media stopped arguing that mass migration is a right and that mass deportations violate human rights.
6 out of 10 registered voters were polled in favor of deporting illegal aliens. The American people had spoken.
So Democrats and their media instead argued that mass deportations would be too expensive. The American Immigration Council, an immigration lawyers lobby group funded by the Ford Foundation, Soros and other open borders groups, was quoted in the media as warning that mass deportations might cost $88 billion a year. None of the media outlets citing the AIC have reported what it is and who it represents, but have taken its $88 billion figure as fact.
This would still make a year of mass deportations cheaper than California’s $128 billion light rail to nowhere. And unlike the light rail to nowhere, the deportations would actually go somewhere.
Mass deportations would end cartel violence and restore national security making it a far better investment than the California train that the Biden administration had decided to fund again.
There’s no reason to take the AIC’s figure as fact. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has an $8 billion annual budget. It already ‘expels’ around a quarter of a million illegals and foreign criminals a year. ICE does more than just detain and deport illegals which our current deportation system often does in about the most expensive way possible. Illegals are currently deported on charter flights also used to fly executives around the country. There’s no reason for the ‘rock star’ treatment.
But let’s for a moment assume that the wildest estimates of open borders supporters are right.
One estimate of the costs of the border crisis ran to $150 billion in 2023. Even assuming that the $88 billion figure is correct, mass deportations would still provide a $62 billion net benefit.
But the $150 billion is likely only a part of the larger cost. Consider the story of one just city.
New York City alone has spent $5 billion in 2 years on the illegal alien invaders. Next year the city expects costs to double. And that’s just the cost of social services. The costs of the illegal alien crime wave can’t even be calculated, but the annual cost of incarceration is over half a million per criminal. The costs of the legal system are difficult to factor, but they are in the high millions. Illegal alien migrants already account for 75% of the arrests in Midtown Manhattan. Over 58,000 illegals in the city have been convicted of a crime or face charges.
New York City would have spent tens of billions of dollars on illegal criminals. That’s one city.
But those tens of billions of dollars are only the most direct costs. Illegal alien crime has forced residents and companies to leave the city. The number of vacant storefronts has doubled. The city’s economic growth has slowed and its future is being held back by the migrant invasion at a cost of further untold billions. Those are losses that easily overshadow the costs of removing the city’s massive illegal alien population beginning with its violent and corrupt criminal elements.
Deporting illegal aliens is expensive. Keeping them here is staggeringly far more expensive.
Education is just one example. Among the illegal alien invaders are over 700,000 school age minors. The cost of educating them starts at $13 billion a year and goes up from there. --->READ MORE HERE
