You're probably not going to like this but it's math and can't be disputed. $200B to deport 10 million illegals at $20,000/illegal. That's a win for America! The estimated cost PER YEAR is $150B. So if we can deport 2.5 million per year at a cost of $50B per year it's a win!
That’s great you can do multiplication and determine what number is bigger, well done. The problem is that you’re assuming that ALL 10 million contribute nothing to society, don’t earn money, don’t spend money, don’t do jobs that a lot of Americans aren’t interested in for a lot less than Americans would be willing to do it for. Of course there are exceptions but painting every illegal with the same brush is just ignorant. The impact on agriculture, construction, services, food cooking and service, etc would be staggering if you remove 10 million Americans doing that work.
Fears over President-elect Trump’s plan to declare a state of emergency at the border and make use of the military as part of a mass deportation plan have been overblown, according to one expert.
"The country is not going to be militarized," Alfonso Aguilar, a former chief of the U.S. Office of Citizenship and the director of Hispanic engagement at the American Principles Project, told Fox News Digital. "Neighborhoods with immigrants are not going to militarize."
The comments come after Trump confirmed Monday via Truth Social a report that he is "prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program."
"The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin, giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail. He will deliver," Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump transition team, told Fox News Digital.

Such plans have been rumored for much of Trump’s campaign, raising fears among some critics that a future Trump administration would deploy the military onto American streets.
"They are promising to use the military to do mass raids of American families at a scale that harkens back to some of the worst things our country has done," Todd Schulte, the president of FWD.us, an immigration advocacy organization, told The Associated Press in October.
But Aguliar argued that the military is to play a support role, providing logistics support to the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
"There is a lot of fearmongering from the left and many in the media," Aguliar said. "These are not going to be sweeps of neighborhoods, these are going to be targeted arrests… initially going after criminals."
"I would anticipate that the military would participate in a supportive capacity," he continued. "You’re detaining people, you’re going to need to move these people and provide shelter."

Aguilar pointed out that federal law limits how Trump can use the military domestically, meaning ICE officers are likely to lead deportation efforts with a logistical hand from the military. On the border, the military would serve as a show of force while also helping be the eyes and ears for Border Patrol officers who are stretched thin across multiple sectors.
"That’s historically how we use the military," Aguliar said. "Force projection to dissuade people from coming in, but their role is basically to help detect… helping move [migrants] to buses… all the logistical support."
Aguliar also argued that ICE is likely to make wider use of workplace raids, where again the military’s logistical might could be harnessed to assist with detaining and transporting arrested migrants.
"They’re not going to set loose the military in neighborhoods trying to detect illegal immigrants," Aguliar said.
Meanwhile, many blue state leaders have announced plans to push back against Trump’s deportations plans, with Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey saying she is prepared to use "every tool in the tool box" to protect the state’s migrant residents and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker vowing to "do everything that I can to protect our undocumented immigrants."
"We cannot prohibit them, federal law enforcement, from coming into our state to, you know, conduct raids or do anything else like that," Pritzker said last week. "Meanwhile, I think it would be very difficult for them to just spread out across the country. They don’t have enough manpower within the Department of Homeland Security in order to carry that out."

Actor William Shatner admitted to "Real Time" host Bill Maher that he didn't understand why Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election, as the pair discussed what went wrong for the Democratic Party on Maher's "Club Random" podcast on Sunday.
Maher opened his show suggesting the left's "intolerance" to Democrats who don't toe the party line on every issue cost them votes this election.
"Conservatives are much more tolerant of people they don’t like. It's the liberals who are purists, especially the ones in this town. They are the ones who say if you don’t agree with me one million percent, I don’t even want to know you. That’s one of the reasons they lost. They have a bad attitude," he told Shatner.
But Shatner admitted he was baffled by the election results. "I don’t know why Democrats lost. I don’t understand [it]," he said.

Maher argued that President Biden was partly to blame for staying in the race too long.
"That, I understand," Shatner replied. "But inflation? Prices have come down, the economy is good. I don't know why they voted against her, against the party," he said.
Maher said that Harris "was not a great candidate" either.
"Let's be honest," he said. But Shatner defended Harris.
"Why isn't she a great candidate?" he asked. "She combined several trends of thought here. Black, a woman," he offered.
"That’s not a candidate," Maher pushed back. "That’s identity politics."
"But those are elements!" Shatner argued.
Maher conceded that while some voters will vote for a candidate simply because they "look like them," this election proved "you have to go a lot further than that" to win over voters.
"You can’t just be, woman. Black person. I mean, Trump got a quarter of Black men!" Maher said.
"He didn’t do much better because the women are very much against him but he killed it with Latinos. Is there any great irony that the guy who came down the elevator ten years ago talking about the ‘rapists’ — they keep giving him more of their votes," Maher said, claiming that he understood why Harris lost better than the Democratic Party did.
"Democrats don’t understand their own constituencies. If you are a Mexican-American, who do you fear taking your job? The guy who just came in through the border! Of course they like the guy who says, ‘I’m going to keep everybody out,’" he continued.
Maher insisted that Democrats would have had much better chances at winning the election if they hadn't put in Harris at the last minute.
"If Biden had got out earlier, they had a true primary season to find the best candidate, not just one whose turn it was. By the way, before they anointed her, nobody was sort of on the page that she was very good at being a candidate," he said of Harris.
"She failed the first time," Shatner agreed, referring to the VP's 2019 presidential campaign that didn't make it past the primaries.
Maher also hit the Biden-Harris administration for its "pointless reversal" of Trump's Remain in Mexico policy.
"[They] let in too many people. Not that we shouldn't be a nation of immigrants. But it turned into a lawless a s--- show for years," he said.
This isn't the first time since the election that Maher has reprimanded the Democratic Party for failing to understand its constituents.
Maher opened his first post-election "Real Time" show by telling his party to "look in the mirror" and realize that "woke" policies and a bad candidate lost them the election. He has since scolded his party for "doubling-down" on far-left policies.
The "Real Time" host previously predicted Harris would win the election after the September presidential debate.

MAGAs are gonna be pissed when they find out who has to foot the bill of $20,000 per deportation.
You're probably not going to like this but it's math and can't be disputed. $200B to deport 10 million illegals at $20,000/illegal. That's a win for America! The estimated cost PER YEAR is $150B. So if we can deport 2.5 million per year at a cost of $50B per year it's a win!
Your “math” also leaves out the fact that your cost includes educational expenses for children of illegals, many of whom are citizens. I’ll ignore that you said spending $50b a year is a win.

That’s great you can do multiplication and determine what number is bigger, well done. The problem is that you’re assuming that ALL 10 million contribute nothing to society, don’t earn money, don’t spend money, don’t do jobs that a lot of Americans aren’t interested in for a lot less than Americans would be willing to do it for. Of course there are exceptions but painting every illegal with the same brush is just ignorant. The impact on agriculture, construction, services, food cooking and service, etc would be staggering if you remove 10 million Americans doing that work.
In 2025, 2.5 million illegals get deported at an estimated cost of $50B. If you remove 25% of the illegals in the first year the annual cost should come down to $112.5B. Total cost for the year = $162.5B. In 2026, same thing, 2.5 million at $50B. With 50% deported annual cost should be $75B. Total cost = $125B. Do you understand how this will continue to trend down and save billions of dollars. $600B was the four year cost to American taxpayers if we did nothing. Now, for the second half of your post. Take a guess how many immigrants entered the country legally in full year 2022.

You’re missing my point entirely. Do you think every undocumented immigrant contributes nothing? Do you not think a significant portion work in jobs that Americans have no interest in doing for a lot cheaper? What does that do for you? Lowers prices. What about the businesses that hire them? Do you think they’re running that business for free? It’s a much more complicated ecosystem of money moving around, lowering prices, businesses earning revenue that makes it back into the economy. Do the undocumented immigrants eat? Buy clothes? pay a landlord for rent? Your math isn’t wrong, but your equation is.

I don't understand the hate for these people (or all the other groups that some MAGAs hate). And they're missing out. The rich culture, their hard work, the best parties, the music, the food! How unfortunate it is to be living in the age of hate. I love our Hispanic heritage here in the west.

Democrats can’t comprehend that. Their thinking is only X to Y never to Z. That’s why they lost massively. Classic simpletons brainwashed easily by their Maddows and Morning Joe. If Megan Thee Stallion raps it, they believe it.

Angry response to facts that blow your liberal theories to shreds. You are really saying "fuck you" to the, wait for it, 2.6 million people who entered the country legally in 2022. The same people who were coming here to work and provide a better future for their families. The deportation process I proposed off the top of my head saves the US taxpayers $178B over 4 years. $44B and change per year. The budget from Veterans Affairs for homeless vets is $3.2B for fiscal year 2025. Do you hate American veterans? That's how ridiculous your "I have nothing to counter this argument so I'll just call him a racist" comment sounds to me.
Does the immigration system need an overhaul? Absolutely. It should be easier to come to the US. If we truly believe in the ideals of what this country has represented for the world, we let these people stay, continue to build their lives as well as contributing to ours and our communities.

Ok so explain how those savings will offset the hit to the GDP. 44B is a drop in the bucket.
It’s these ridiculous numbers that sway uninformed voters. 2 trillion in savings from DOGE, 178B from undocumented immigrants, lower taxes, lower inflation, lower mortgage rates, affordable housing. It’s all BS without real policy. When it fails, there won’t be anyone else to blame but Trump and the fools who voted for him. Unfortunately, his reckless ways will have long lasting repercussions.

MAGA Math: spend $352 billion to lose $400 billion and then wonder why the cost of a new house, hotel room, dinner out, meat and fruit and vegetables and landscaping all went up, while your health care went poof.
From Letter From An American:
Today Trump confirmed that he intends to bypass normal legal constraints on his actions by declaring a national emergency on his first day in office in order to launch his mass deportation of undocumented migrants. While the Congressional Budget Office estimates this mass deportation will cost at least $88 billion a year, another cost that is rarely mentioned is that according to Bloomberg, undocumented immigrants currently pay about $100 billion a year in taxes. Losing that income, too, will likely have to be made up with cuts from elsewhere.

What are you going to do when you can’t run a campaign solely on hating Trump? When you actually have to talk about issues? You lost everything that was possible to lose. Trump gained in every demographic, how much worse can it get for you?
Your heroes Morning Joe went to Mar A Lago to have breakfast to kiss Trumps ass. Where did you go wrong?

Fears over President-elect Trump’s plan to declare a state of emergency at the border and make use of the military as part of a mass deportation plan have been overblown, according to one expert.
"The country is not going to be militarized," Alfonso Aguilar, a former chief of the U.S. Office of Citizenship and the director of Hispanic engagement at the American Principles Project, told Fox News Digital. "Neighborhoods with immigrants are not going to militarize."
The comments come after Trump confirmed Monday via Truth Social a report that he is "prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program."
"The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin, giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail. He will deliver," Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump transition team, told Fox News Digital.
Such plans have been rumored for much of Trump’s campaign, raising fears among some critics that a future Trump administration would deploy the military onto American streets.
"They are promising to use the military to do mass raids of American families at a scale that harkens back to some of the worst things our country has done," Todd Schulte, the president of FWD.us, an immigration advocacy organization, told The Associated Press in October.
But Aguliar argued that the military is to play a support role, providing logistics support to the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
"There is a lot of fearmongering from the left and many in the media," Aguliar said. "These are not going to be sweeps of neighborhoods, these are going to be targeted arrests… initially going after criminals."
"I would anticipate that the military would participate in a supportive capacity," he continued. "You’re detaining people, you’re going to need to move these people and provide shelter."
Aguilar pointed out that federal law limits how Trump can use the military domestically, meaning ICE officers are likely to lead deportation efforts with a logistical hand from the military. On the border, the military would serve as a show of force while also helping be the eyes and ears for Border Patrol officers who are stretched thin across multiple sectors.
"That’s historically how we use the military," Aguliar said. "Force projection to dissuade people from coming in, but their role is basically to help detect… helping move [migrants] to buses… all the logistical support."
Aguliar also argued that ICE is likely to make wider use of workplace raids, where again the military’s logistical might could be harnessed to assist with detaining and transporting arrested migrants.
"They’re not going to set loose the military in neighborhoods trying to detect illegal immigrants," Aguliar said.
Meanwhile, many blue state leaders have announced plans to push back against Trump’s deportations plans, with Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey saying she is prepared to use "every tool in the tool box" to protect the state’s migrant residents and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker vowing to "do everything that I can to protect our undocumented immigrants."
"We cannot prohibit them, federal law enforcement, from coming into our state to, you know, conduct raids or do anything else like that," Pritzker said last week. "Meanwhile, I think it would be very difficult for them to just spread out across the country. They don’t have enough manpower within the Department of Homeland Security in order to carry that out."

Sorry* to people who don't like brown people.
*I'm not really sorry. (rude comment deleted by admin)
I don't understand the hate for these people (or all the other groups that some MAGAs hate). And they're missing out. The rich culture, their hard work, the best parties, the music, the food! How unfortunate it is to be living in the age of hate. I love our Hispanic heritage here in the west.

From Letter From An American:
Today Trump confirmed that he intends to bypass normal legal constraints on his actions by declaring a national emergency on his first day in office in order to launch his mass deportation of undocumented migrants. While the Congressional Budget Office estimates this mass deportation will cost at least $88 billion a year, another cost that is rarely mentioned is that according to Bloomberg, undocumented immigrants currently pay about $100 billion a year in taxes. Losing that income, too, will likely have to be made up with cuts from elsewhere.
