EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We build on previous American Action Forum (AAF) research that found it would take at least 20 years and cost to federal government $400 billion to $600 billion to remove all undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States and to prevent all future unlawful entry. In this paper, we examine the personnel and infrastructure implications of removing all 11.3 million undocumented immigrants in a two-year time frame. In order to remove all undocumented immigrants, each immigrant would have to be apprehended, detained, legally processed, and transported to his or her country of origin. In order to remove all undocumented immigrants in only two years, the U.S. government would have to monumentally expand each of those stages of the removal process. In particular, based on FY 2013 levels it would require:

· Federal immigration apprehension personnel to increase from 4,844 positions to 90,582 positions;

· The number of immigration detention beds to increase from 34,000 to 348,831;

· The number of immigration courts to increase from 58 to 1,316;

· The number of federal attorneys legally processing undocumented immigrants to increase from 1,430 to 32,445; and

· A minimum of 17,296 chartered flights and 30,701 chartered bus trips each year.

More alarming would be the economic costs of this policy. In particular, in just two years it would shrink the labor force by 10.3 million workers and reduce real GDP by $1 trillion.

Interesting reading. In addition to the above, how much will it cost to build the wall?

The number of immigration courts has been appallingly low for years.

Rump is a business man and I am sure he will find a Final Solution to the illegal immigration problem.

shrink the labor force by 10.3 million workers ...

Household Survey Data

The number of unemployed persons was essentially unchanged at 7.8 million in August,

We could cure the unemployment problem in this country by just deporting the invaders .

I have no problem with that but it won't happen because of the business lobbies.

Yup. We are being screwed from both sides on this issue

Ironically those who have doing it to us on both sides of the aisle for years hate Trump. There is your sign

[lostinblue 1,989]

Make it a felony to enter this country illegally ... Undocumented democrats that would never be allowed to vote ....Liberals would be volunteering to build . that wall

Maybe those numbers make sense if we keep on doing business the same way we always have. There needs to be a complete overhaul of the inefficient system we have now. There needs to be multiple layers of protection and enforcement. The way it is now is a joke. The people sneaking in are home free once they get passed the border area. As long as they don't cause trouble they have almost no reason to fear deportation. And if they make it to a sanctuary city they can even commit crimes and not fear deportation. What other countries in the world allow what we have going on here?

How much would we save on welfare for illegals?

Few other countries make it so easy to employ illegals, but for some reason, Republicans have never seemed to keen on idea of sanctioning business owners. Strange that?

And on the flip side most immigrants vote democrat once they are able to because thats where the freebies come from so its not in the party's best interest to keep them out.
