Mexicans are easy to deport without involving airplanes which is always expensive. Bus them back...easy
All others must be flown back and we have millions of undesirables who are from nations that have no border with us. So we have to eject them via airplane. What the Feds look at as a logistical nightmare. It needs to be put to bid and contracted out to an American airline
Commonly used figures suggest that there are 12 million illegals, that they cost the US taxpayers about $113 billion per year, and that about 60% are from Mexico.
With illegals costing us an average of $9,417 each per year, not even counting the tremendous damage they do when they take our jobs, and especially when they are allowed to vote, I’d say we have some feasible options, if not a serious duty to America, in dealing with this in an effective fashion.
It seems like a no-brainer to bus the 7.2 million Mexican illegals back to Mexico on dedicated, purpose-customized, contractor-owned buses, for maybe $1000 a head, given the nature of the task. Now that’s a gov contract I’d like to have! For a net annual savings to the taxpayers of $55.8 billion, the first year, then a savings of $67.8 billon per year after that, forever, assuming the border was tightened up reasonably tight.
That leaves about 4.8 million that must be deported by air or water. I vote for putting them on board ships or airplanes, whichever is cheaper, and good riddance to them! How much could that cost? A one-time expense of a few thousand bucks for a never-ending break to the taxpayers of $9,417 per year per illegal? Again, its a no-brainer even if deportation costs, with LEO, admin and transport, more than the $9,417 per illegal that they are costing us per year.
What are illegals actually costing us, per taxpayer, that could be saved per year if this debacle was dealt with effectively? Roughly, the U.S. work force is 155 million. Of those, about half actually pay federal income tax, say 78 million earners. So, $113 billion over 78 million comes to about $1449 average, per taxpayer.
Capitalism runs on capital, obviously. But what many fail to realize is how a little infusion of capital, left in the hands of those who earned it and, importantly, in the hands of those who also earn enough to pay taxes, can stimulate huge economic activity. $113 billion per year of capital, left in the hands of those who earned it, would boost our economy tremendously!
