*”Largest deportation in American history”

During his campaign, Trump vowed to begin the largest deportation program in American history, with estimates suggesting that up to 11 million immigrants living in the US illegally could be affected.

Trump proposed targeting immigrants who have committed crimes, as well as those whose asylum bids have been denied.

However, experts raised concerns about the logistical and financial feasibility of such a plan.

The American Immigration Council estimated that a one-time mass deportation of all immigrants in the US without legal status would cost $315 billion, while a years-long deportation program could cost nearly $1 trillion.

Despite concerns, Trump remained committed to his deportation plan, citing the need to protect national security and public safety.

Many economists disagreed, arguing that mass deportations would have negative impacts on the US economy, including lower GDP, reduced employment, and higher inflation.

Deporting millions of people would require significant resources, including staffing, funding, and infrastructure.

The estimated cost of a mass deportation program is staggering, with some estimates suggesting it could exceed $1 trillion.

Mass deportations would also raise significant humanitarian concerns, including the potential for family separation, human rights abuses, and social unrest.

Overall, Trump’s plan for the largest deportation in American history remains a highly contentious issue, with significant implications for the US economy, society, and politics.
