Plan would take at least 20 years to implement.
Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s plan to deport all undocumented immigrants would cost between $400 billion and $600 billion and take at least 20 years to implement, according to a report from the American Action Forum.
The report estimates that there are currently 11.3 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States. To deport them, these individuals would have to be apprehended, detained, legally processed, and transported back to the country they originated from.
In order to do this in two years like Trump has proposed, the report estimates that there would need to be 90,582 federal immigration apprehension employees, 348,831 immigration detention beds, 1,316 immigration courts, 32,445 federal attorneys to process undocumented immigrants, and a minimum of 17,296 chartered flights and 30,701 chartered bus trips.

I can only go by what Trump has said with his own mouth. And thats not what he said.
When the wall starts being built, put all illegals on notice that they have until the wall is completed to leave the country on their own, and that any remaining will be subject to arrest and confinement until they can have deportation hearings. Since deportation hearing are backlogged about six years, they would have a nice long wait in a AZ tent city style set up.
He said some would be legally allowed to return, the thing is that is the law.
Thats special treatment.
Mexicans tore off and replaced 40 squares of shingles following a big hail storm that hit back in 1998. I served some traditional MexTex lunch for the crew, including Yucateco...
How about we quit giving money to people that want to kill us?
So what’s the big deal?? $400 billion has been spend on 8 years of Obama family vacations.
Probably don’t need to increase the fine, just enforce the law. There are criminal penalties for employers as well which should be enforced for multiple violations. Much easier to find the employers than illegal workers, and imo their’s is the greater crime. Of course the GOP doesn’t consider it a crime, but a new President wouldn’t need Congress to enforce existing laws.
Wrong. Once the gravy train is cut off, people will begin to leave.
The real problem is what the fascists do when they see true law and order being implemented.
This is total BS.
Enforce current laws and they will leave on their own.
I could do it in four years for 2% of the cost. Step 1: Build the Wall. We could even pay for it ourselves Time: 1 Year Cost: $1 BillionStep 2: Fully Implement eVerify Time: 1 Year - Concurrent with wall construction Cost: $100 Million
Step 3: Set Up Database for ID/Biometric/DNA Time: 1 Year - Concurrent with wall construction Cost: $100 Million
Once these three items are in place, you simply broadcast the fact that there is $50,000 in cash waiting for any illegal immigrant who is willing to self deport, provided he submit to ID verification, biometric data collection, and DNA sampling, and will agree to never return to the United States, on pain of immediate deportation. Cash is payable at the bottom of the airport ramp in the country of their choosing. Time: 2 years Cost: 7 Billion
Any illegal immigrant who does not voluntarily self deport under the above plan would not be able to work under the eVerify rules, and could then be arrested and deported without compensation. But there would be very few left to deport at that point. Total Time: Four Years Total Cost: 8.2 Billion
1-Yes, the wall should have been built by now. Cost might be a little low, but concrete may not be necessary for the full border, and I believe the funds are already appropriated.
2-Another no brainer. Cost is minimal, fee could be charged. Employers not using is should be prosecuted. This would require Congress, though a new administration could aggressively prosecute employers, accepting legitimate EVarify errors.
3-I assume you mean deportees. Fingerprints should be a no brainer. I'd be OK with requiring them for entry. Wonder about the costs and benefits for DNA. Don't know about costs for eye scans.
I wouldn't pay illegals to self deport. The key is aggressive prosecution of employer violators, which the GOP isn't about to get behind. And Trump seems not to be promoting, in favor of garnering headlines.
Not as special as ignoring all of them and allowing all to stay, even criminals like we do now. He has also said he was going to look into all immigration...even to see what legal immigration we should support.
Personally, I would rather anyone who undertook to sneak into my country be banned for life. Or at least forced to get in the back of the line.
2) Those who miss the deadline to report (perhaps 6 months) would be subject to a mandatory 10 year sentence.
And,of course,a law would also be passed saying that any individual or corporate entity that employs an illegal is fined $10,000 for each day,or portion of a day,that they were paying the illegal.
Who calculated these garbage estimates? I know, Beltway lawyers.
I agree with that.
Now they care about the budget. Increased welfare, healthcare, and food stamps were no problem.
More bull from the open borders “free trade” cult
I remember these same idiots telling us it would take 10 years for new oil to come online before prices would come down.
If we put a bounty on these ILLEGALS we could have them out in less than a year.
As they always say.... It's an "INVESTMENT" in our future.
