Here’s What’ll Happen to the Economy if We Deport Undocumented Immigrants
"With the U.S. Census Bureau estimating the population to be close to 319 million people, the issue focuses on a very small segment, 3.5%, of the entire U.S. population.
"According to a 2017
Pew Research Center study, there were 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States in 2014 and 71%, or 8 million of those 11.3 million, participating in the U.S. labor force.
"This is a significantly higher percentage than the U.S. population
participation rate of 49% in 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates."

Starting with welfare for rich Wall Street banks.
Trump offers socialism for the rich, capitalism for everyone else | Robert Reich
"In the conservative mind, socialism means getting something for doing nothing.
"That pretty much describes the $21bn saved by the nation’s largest banks last year thanks to Trump’s tax cuts, some of which went into massive bonuses for bank executives.
"On the other hand, more than 4,000 lower-level bank employees got a big dose of harsh capitalism.
"They lost their jobs.
"Banks that are too big to fail – courtesy of the 2008 bank bailout – enjoy a hidden subsidy of some $83bn a year, because creditors facing less risk accept lower interest on deposits and loans.
"Last year, Wall Street’s bonus pool was $31.4bn.
"Take away the hidden subsidy and the bonus pool disappears."
Wrong.
Starting with all welfare including for the wealthy.

Corporate welfare - Wikipedia
"Background[edit]
"
Subsidies considered excessive, unwarranted, wasteful, unfair, inefficient, or bought by
lobbying are often called corporate welfare.
[1] The label of corporate welfare is often used to decry projects advertised as benefiting the general welfare that spend a disproportionate amount of funds on large corporations, and often in uncompetitive, or anti-competitive ways.
"For instance, in the United States,
agricultural subsidies are usually portrayed as helping independent farmers stay afloat. However, the majority of income gained from commodity support programs actually goes to large
agribusiness corporations such as
Archer Daniels Midland, as they own a considerably larger percentage of production.
[21]
"Alan Peters and Peter Fisher, Associate Professors at the
University of Iowa,
[22] have estimated that state and local governments provide $40–50 billion annually in economic development incentives,
[23] which critics characterize as corporate welfare.
