If the roughly four to five million immigrants who could benefit from President Barack Obama’s executive order were to be deported, it would come with a price tag of about $25 billion.
That was the estimate by Politico, which said it came up with the figure based on a variety of sources.
Politico estimated that it costs roughly $7,200 to deport someone. The Department of Homeland Security told Politico that it costs closer to $8,661.
Deportations have skyrocketed under Obama, reaching a record – more than 2 million since he became president.
The president, however, has accused Congress of not budgeting enough funds to properly enforce immigration laws, Politico noted.
A report from the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel said that Obama’s executive action “is designed to respond to the practical reality that the number of aliens who are removable under the [Immigration and Naturalization Act] vastly exceeds the resources Congress has made available to DHS for processing and carrying out removals.”

what a bargain. We pay moe than that on unearned income tax credit!!!
Spend it, it would save us money in the long run.
Just don’t give them jobs, insurance, drivers licenses and other stuff and they will run home.
Or...make them citizens with first duty, overseas........
NOT Deporting them WILL cost $100 BILLION!!!
That would be a couple of Trillion Dollars cheaper than legalizing them.
Clipping wings of flying pigs could cost as much as $250 trillion, report says

Bull Obama.
You give me an illegal. I’ll get the sucker deported for half that amount.
Then I’ll give ya an even better bargain. I’ll deport 10 illegals for the price of 9.
In a world where Obama routinely spends over $1 Trillion per year - that’s 1,000 Billion dollars per year - what’s another $25 Billion?
Nothing.
Plus, all the cost savings down the road, once these leeches are gone, will more than make up for it.
Just DO NOT hire them, DO NOT feed them, DO NOT care for them in the EMERGENCY ROOMS ... they’ll take a train home! Why should I pay for this?
To deport an illegal alien - $500 one-way ticket back to Mexico City, or charter a bus at $50 a head to bus then back to the banks of the Rio Grande, then at the point of a gun, tell them to get swimming and don’t turn back.
None of this BS about hearings, or waiting periods, or continuances. Go, and go now.
Darned right this sounds hostile. It is SUPPOSED to sound hostile.
Wasn’t there a program overrun that was around 20+ BILLION recently???
divide into the dollar value of the fresh market fruit/veggie market... There is one measure.
What's your grandkid worth ??
Clearly, this is too complex for the folks in Minneapolis.... or Des Moines...
It's amazing how they come up with bullsiite numbers that say it's always more expensive to get rid of thieves than to keep them, unless we are talking about prisons.
Dittoes.
The plan is called ‘Self Deportation’. Arizona used it quite well before the courts stepped in and screwed thing up.
Twenty-five billion to deport; they cost us that much in a month! It would be a bargain plus clean up our country(have you seen the trash they dump), lower crime, reduce infectious diseases. It would be worth a knock down drag out fight. The only thing wrong is American degeneracy a life not devoted to the welfare of all; but, intensely devoted to eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating the bowels, snoring and free tickets to “The Game.” That is why we are dying as a people.
How’d they get here?
A bargain.
California alone must spend that much on illegals every year. Housing them, feeding them, medicating them, incarcerating them.
$25 Billion to send them packing on the first thing smoking would be Money Well Spent.
The bozos at the radical leftwing Politico came up with this bull****? LOL!!! Must be true.
