Removing Undocumented Immigrants In 2 years Costs $100-300 Billion, Requires Massive Growth In Gov’t

The American Action Forum (@AAF) examined recent proposals by some of the presidential candidates to remove the 11.3 million undocumented immigrants residing in the United States within two years. The AAF research found it will cost $100-$300 billion to implement, and require a minimum of 17,296 chartered flights and 30,701 chartered bus trips each year. Additionally, the federal government would need to increase federal immigration apprehension personnel from 4,844 to 90,582; increase immigration courts from 58 to 1,316; and increase the number of federal attorneys from 1,430 to 32,445. Lastly, AAF also found that the proposal would slow U.S. economic growth by $1 trillion.
