āThe Senateās top Republican questioned on Sunday how easy it will be for President-elect Donald Trump to launch a āmass deportationā of at least 11 million immigrants living in the United States without authorization. āIs it realistic to deport everybody? I mean, there's a lot of people in this country who are here illegally,ā Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said on NBCās āMeet the Press.ā
A mass deportation of 1 million people per year could cost $88 billion annually, according to the nonpartisan American Immigration Council. It would require an unprecedented ramp-up of law enforcement staffing, detention capacity, immigration courtrooms and flight accessibility.
Pew Research estimates there are 11 million immigrants in the United States without authorization. The vast majority don't have a criminal conviction, and their individual situations can vary dramatically, from asylum-seekers who crossed the border to people who flew in on a tourist visa and overstayed.ā
No, it is not realistic to deport everybody.
And Republicans like Thune are getting cold feet over Trumpās idiotic āmass deportationā rhetoric, knowing it portrays Republicans as hateful racists and bigots incapable of sound, responsible governance.
