Deportation Plans: Costly and Complicated

Former President Donald Trump has promised a massive deportation of undocumented immigrants if he's reelected. However, experts warn that such a plan would be incredibly expensive and logistically challenging. Trump's advisors have talked about using the military and building huge detention facilities. But the costs are staggering. In 2016, it cost $10, 900 to deport one person. That's just the beginning. Mass deportation could cost over $960 billion over a decade, according to estimates.And that's not all. The courts are already overwhelmed, and some countries refuse to accept deportees. Plus, there are millions of kids with undocumented parents who would be affected. Deporting large numbers of immigrants could also have a big impact on the economy, with businesses losing out on growth and workers. Some say it could even lead to job losses for Americans. So, while Trump's plan might sound simple, the reality is much more complicated.
