How does it cost 200 dollars a day to keep someone in a cage and borderline starving and most hotels are cheaper than that? Some people are getting crazy rich off of this and our tax dollars
What do you think is going right now? A ton of private contractors (especially here in NYC) are robbing the government blind housing and feeding illegal immigrants.
They NEVER asked us! Should have been a referendum on something of this magnitude. We definately do not want them here and would not have approved it. Congress is far too arrogant. We need a new way to govern because this is clearly not working.
Good grief, it takes $88K to deport ONE person?!?!? I have a money saving proposal, offer them $50K to just leave. Once they prove they're in another country, we gift them $50K. My plan is completely insane, but somehow it's still better than our government can come up with.
By their own estimations, it will cost ~$88 Billion a year to run this "program" and could take up to ten years to complete. Meanwhile undocumented immigrants, who contribute $86 Billion a year in taxes, (IRS) will not be working the fields, building houses, staffing Hotels, resorts and private citizens homes, medical staffing will be reduced and prices will climb, along with food shortages and lost revenue in many sectors. This whole scheme could trigger a recession or depression. The car business is already crashing now, and Trump's Tariffs and tax cuts for the wealthy will add at least another 5 Trillion dollars to the National debt. Nice going guys.
Last year 900000 people became naturalized us citizens The usa has visa lottery program 50000 permanent resident visas Via Internet The usa is more than generous
@selfdefender780 While this would be fair in a way, considering their involvement, no undocumented individual can be traced to them directly to hold them responsible for their removal costs. However, it is easy to trace each undocumented person to their employers since most of them get paid with checks, just like legal workers. These unscrupulous employers are the real reason for this issue. If no one hired these people, why would they even come here in the first place?
@@agexien Democrats were humiliated at the ballot box, Americans will just have to consider that as compensation since power is the currency of the Left.
It's telling the first response to your comment was an attempt to readjust the blame to politicians and not the businesses with illegal hiring practices. Shows what this is all about to some people.
Prices never go down. Trump spent like a Dem in his last Admin, I don't see why people think it will be different, at least the economy benefited from it. Plus look at all the $ this Admin is shelling out in the last months to make sure inflation stays high. Then there is the pending pandemic and shut down of the economy coming.
What is absurd about this plan, is that there are no penalties for the businesses that hire them! The main magnet for illegal immigration is JOBS, period.
Putting it on businesses to verify someone's citizenship status is just more regulatory overhead that puts undue burden on employers. Remember, the vast majority of American businesses are small and don't have massive Legal/HR departments to do the kind of background checks big businesses do. They check for driver's licenses at a minimum, and that's usually coupled with a question about "reliable transportation" to verify the employee can actually get him or herself to work. A business's primary goal in the hiring process is to determine if the employee will be able to do their job. They seek to invest as little time and money into that process as possible because that process is already overhead as it is. Putting it on businesses to enforce immigration laws through hiring just adds to that overhead and could drive otherwise good businesses into bankruptcy.
@@2x2is22let's not pretend that the majority of these workers are paid any other way than under the table, tax avoided cash payments. Avoiding taxes is a huge reason WHY an employer would do that
what do you think what will happen then? let me tell you, those will people will work illegally and pay 0 taxes. 9/10 of your doordash carriers are one of them already.
4% of the us population.... And what's worse for the average American is that these people are working age.. Getting paychecks, producing and paying some taxes.... This means that the average American will pay a huge bill to kick out people.. So that they will get their taxes raised eventually, their pensions reduced and their products more expensive ... Because you can't simply remove such a huge part of your total population... And an even bigger part of our working age population
Actually, you can. And if you removal a bunch of low skill workers, then the wages for those jobs will increase, meaning Americans doing those jobs make more money and thus contribute more in taxes, both through income taxes and through spending.
@@theevilkoala9250 bro you are missing a key point here. low skill work is the easiest to automate. if you remove low wage migrant workers from low skill work then you incentivize employers to automate their jobs...not pay higher wages to other low skill workers for the same low skill work.
@@GodMovesAllThings I would love to see evidence of your wild claim. The fact that even Trump, who loves unsubstantiated claims, never mentioned it makes your claim especially dubious.
@@GodMovesAllThings I think you are confusing Biden with Trump, a lot of sleazy russians got to America during trump's admin, even my brother was victim of stolen identity when some russian in Arkansas got a passport under his name in 2018
Had anybody talked to an economist about the impacts of this? How will it impact the price of food? Construction? Economic areas with a lot of illegal labor? So many areas of this complex topic aren’t being discussed.
@ Correct. Nobody is above the law. Now, with that in mind, has anybody talked to an economist about the potential impact on the economy, specifically the prices of products produced in sectors with large amounts of illegal immigrant labor, fresh produce for example?
@@TenThumbsProductions If greedy capitalism isn´t able to sustain population legally it will be outlawed and based socialism and planned economy will take place.
....people shouldn't be relying on illegal immigrants. Some businesses who have chosen to will go under because they won't want to spend the money on legal staff, but thats the consequences of their actions. It will start to make wages rise across the board because companies will realize they now need to pay real wages to legal citizens if they want to stay in business.
Just assuming this is true and we knew where the waste was *and* Trump and Musk were happy to cut that spending, It's then got to get through almost the exact same Republican House majority that just failed to pass any appropriations bills and had to again rely on Democrat votes to pass a CR. Democrats are not going to vote for shifting billions to fund deportation without a lot of accountability. If it gets through the House then it will probably pass the Senate, but that could also be a tough thing unless Trump breaks the habit of a lifetime and comes up with a clear plan that Senators can defend to their constituents. Raiding cities and workplaces demanding to see papers sounds good on Fox News, but probably doesn't play well in reality and most Senators are not wanting to anger the CEOs who pay for their re-election campaigns.
During President Barack Obama's administration (2009-2017), approximately 3 million individuals were deported from the United States. This period saw a significant increase in deportations compared to previous administrations, earning Obama the informal title of "Deporter-in-Chief."
the problem with the Obama plan that they double of triple counted people, once arrested, once in the checkpoints, once when they leave the border, so each person was counted 3 times... they also pulled the busses going to Mexico, check passengers that they were already going to Mexico, if they had not papers to be in the USA, they gave them a "deportation slip" that they had to turn in at the border guards before going into Mexico, so they also counted as "deportees".. Obama million people deportations were a myth.. figures don't lie but liars can figure.
Obama's admin really wasn't so bad. Looking at Biden's admin it's like night and day. Biden really is a moron and so are the people he surrounded himself with.
@@gregl7597 it would be nice if this little video showed people how many have been deported for the last 20 years to get some perspective. If Obama did say 2 million in a 4 year period - then 5 million doesn't seem out of reachg in 4 years. the keyis to stop the flow of new people or continue to slow it down.
Getting in is on the immigrant's dime. Getting kicked out is on the government's dime. To get in all you need is the clothes on your back, some water, some food, and courage. To get removed you need a mobile task force + trucks + equipment + clerks + per diem + transportation + god knows what else I'm forgetting.
Who's going to replace those millions of workers in America? You know our youth wont work on the fields under the hot sun doing back-braking jobs. If you do that our economy will suffer and EVERYTHING will become way more expensive. The issue is the millions of them on wellfera and/or criminals.
Our own fellow Americans don’t want or can’t work on farms. They won’t clean meat processing plants. No American can afford to work like migrants. Start growing your own vegetables and fruits. My neighbor got the max level of chickens to have in town, and another has lambs and goats outside the city limits. It’s weird that I am seeing this lately, people know it’s coming.
Its sad, i remember a documentary of a Korean-American who was adopted, but his parents never registered some paperwork and just for that he was deemed illegal and deported back to South Korea when he was an adult. He doesnt know the language or anything, dudes full-fledged American but cant go back home no matter what. I wonder how many Americans will be deported because of this, you guys need to understand your system is broken. A good solution to this would be to get someone who is a US citizen to "attest" a person is an American, with a limit on the number of people a single person can attest to. That person would also need to bring documents showing their presence in the country for a certain amount of time (school tests, bank account info, referrals from past teachers, etc). Only then would I somewhat agree with what Trump is doing here but for now its rather disgusting.
the dept cycle is closing in. From quantitative easing to mass bond issues, wall street gambling addiction will eventually lead to destruction. not to mention the systematic issue of democracy.

Lol that’s how you justify this very nuanced and complex issue? His plan is financially irresponsible and physically impossible. But let’s throw some mud at the wall in the form of trillions more in national debt and see if it sticks…again…
It's almost like the government should enforce the law as it currently is. If companies would stop hiring illegal workers, stop giving government assistance, etc. Some, if not all would self-deport.
It doesn't work I have reported it so many times with ice officers about our boss at Hyatt House hiring illegal workers while others have applied and are denied work because we have enough people! It truly is unfair but all they ask is how many people what are their names and the location and name of company but nothing is done about it.💬🤔💯

I'd be happy if we just stopped funding the NGOs who are the backbone of this human trafficking. Both sides happily do so, I mean half the hosts on FOX news were at all gowned up at the Catholic Charities funding ball; Catholic Charities, probably the NGO most responsible for this. Until we stop funding the traffickers nothing will change.
You benefit from those companies hiring them. They are worth 20% of the GDP and much of your food is picked by them. Unless your job was picking crops in a field or building houses for extremely low wages they benefited you
You mean like arrest all the drug buyers in the states along with the ones smuggling them in? Cheap workers are like drugs. Buyers market. The US goes after symptoms of their problems rather than fix the underlying problems themselves.
Not as a troll, I am curious as to who you would propose do the work? (It is fair to just say you don't think it should be done at all, I just didn't understand)
Normalising mass deportation? you're right, they should be highlighting that is an extremely dangerous path to go down. Remind me again of the country that was set on mass deportations in the 1930's?
Don't you get it? Mainstream media is an arm of this corporate-controlled government we all live under. They own both the news sources and the politicians who make the news. Trump = ratings, Harris and Biden do not (they're still corporate puppets,though,too)
It takes time for new policies to hurt the economy and Biden has fought some of Trumps first term policies fallout even two years into his presidency, and the next president after Trumps second term will also be marred by Trump policies before their own policies can be felt overall. Most people do not understand politics. If you create policies to deliberately hurt the economy it will be felt faster. No point in funding shipyards to make ships with a workforce you diminish. Irony be it if Trump has to order the new ships from a place where he did not get the work force fired - Canada, Mexico or some other foreign country. Politics is the act of driving a car down a road. You apply a little left policy to turn the wheel a little and the car will eventually be in the left lane - unless of course you apply some right policy before that happens. If you issue extreme left and right policies on the car it will snake its way down the road at a slow speed to not tip over. If you do not understand why the car arrives late at its destination and why everyone in the car is upset and sick then if you do not understand policies by now you will never get it. Is America about to tip over ?
Of just institute a proper "Guest Worker Visa" - then you have control - you know who these people are - they pay taxes - they must be paid at least minimum wage to avoid competition with US citizens - and at the end of the harvesting season (because it's mostly agriculture that needs them) - you wave goodbye until next year.
@@randomized4266 The border has never been open. Biden has deported record numbers. They claim that it is filters down to those who may consider coming and makes them tend to set off for the border.
Well, someone is hiring them. Make it a felony with guaranteed prison time to hire an undocumented person (including under the counter) and the jobs evaporate. About 480,000 people in Miami would be unemployed overnight. Or, at least until massive amount of employers go to jail.
...and the entire fruit and vegetable growing industry collapses due to lack of willing (and cheap) workers. Just wait and see - and remember "I told you so". We need a properly thought though guest worker program.
@@SteveBakerIsHere Because absolutely nobody who already is in the USA wants to work food production? Threat of starvation sounds like a pretty convincing reason to go into agricultural work regardless.

Big money machine! Think about it like one illegal said on tv couple years ago getting on his plane this is a vacation his first time flying !! Going to visit family few months comeback cross border !! Rinse and repeat 😆
What's completely missing here is the actual "cost" of this "problem" right now. There is probably a net benefit for the U.S. economy at this time, but Republicans needed this boogeyman just to distract from the real problems, e.g., wealth inequality, and 31% of the voting populace fell for it. That those tricky problems don't have easy solutions that won't create their own issues is, of course, already too complex for a dumbed-down populace to grasp, not to mention the difficulty in recognizing the real problems in the first place. Simply put, we have enough calories to feed everyone on Earth many times over, and people are still starving right this second. Moving people from place A to B and building a wall to keep them there will fix nothing except the account balances of a few already wealthy people.
The federal government is not paying for them to stay in hotels, those are city and state governments in liberal states. It's impressive how dumb you are.
They weren't counted a few years ago.. until politicians found a way to cash in. I learned a few decades ago- the population spikes aren't necessarily because there's more people, it's because there's some sort of funding or humanitarian aid - so suddenly they increase their numbers or start counting them. We saw this overseas in the 1980s and 90s. When they had major mudslides in third world countries in the humanitarian aid was per capita, suddenly they started counting people in their population they never counted before I saw Ecuador claimed they had a 97% literacy rate back in the late eighties Because they don't count most poor & indigenous people in the country Until there's a mudslide and humanitarian aid comes in. Many of these immigrants have already been here... They started drawing them out with money, they're able to get driver's license in many states..
@TheFoolintherainn I see your point , but I was more specifically talking about the ones that came across the border in the past 4 years which estimates put at over 11 million
@seraphilight all governments do. The government's job is never to "care" about people. The greatest good for the greatest number. A government's job is to create the infrastructure under which the citizens care for each other. Somebody didn't get the memo Happy New Year friend!

why is WSJ acting like were gonna hold them for a significant amount of time, they are staying in detention centers temporarily until theyre sent back to their home country. He is already working out agreements with his tariffs to south american countries.
There are countries that have refused to take deportee’s before. For example, Venezuela. We don’t have any agreements with Venezuela and their government is rather hostile towards us. They are already under sanctions from the US government. They didn’t care then and they won’t care now.
@@jeannerogers7085 That's the whole point of tariffs. We're a consumer nation so no consumers no money. Tariffs will give the US more power in agreements and that's in every type of agreement from trade to politics and even war. He knows what he's doing.

Those jobs are historically in fields that already struggle to find workers. Wages won't magically go up without the costs of those industries rising. So congratulations, higher food prices.
Yes... clear restaurant tables, pick fruit for 12 hours in the hot sun, build houses, landscaping... you can't wait to do those jobs, right? American employers cannot find people to do these. There are many examples of companies that tried
All you do is require businesses to provide proof that their workers are here legally, and landlords provide proof that their tenants are here legally, and the people will leave on their own.
When you employ someone, you have to get ID from them already. The issue is that employers are not required to verify the documentation using the automated system, and even if you did it would be relatively easy for an illegal immigrant to generate a counterfeit ID that matches a citizen's.
You take Trump to seriously. He just says whatever his followers want to hear. He never thought this through. So don't work too hard to think it through either. This plan doesn't make any sense.
It's a net lost according to some (because the U.S. government doesn't want to show how big the problem is) is $180 billion per year for keeping illegal aliens in the U.S. That's how much the government spends protecting the boarder, plus giving education to illegals, plus deporting illegal, but having a court system for illegals, plus having illegals in prison for crimes outside of being an illegal alien, plus the cost of sanctuary states paying for housing and salaries for illegal aliens (see the city of new York for that). In a January 11 report by the House of Representatives, the net cost per illegal alien is a lifetime drain of $68,000 in government funds.
Until they ever actually fix the border first this issue never go away.. Instead of focusing on deportation they need to first focus on sealing the border other wise they just come right back..
But the cost of border security isn't going to go away if everyone is deported. If anything border security costs will go up. Attributing the cost of border security to illegal aliens who are already in the US is a bit unfair given that's not a cost that will go away. Also you need a court system to deport people, otherwise ICE could just kidnap anyone and send them to Mexico. This is America, everyone is entitled to their day in court, and with good reason. Freedom isn't free as they say. America isn't built on doing things cheap, it's built on doing things right. It would be cheaper not to have trials for anyone, but it wouldn't be just.
In order to achieve the expected number of deportations, ICE will have to pay immigrant hunters and paid informants, making the assumptions of deportation spending only a small part of the expenses.
Good luck with that, your going to get a ton of bad information, because we're the second largest country with Spanish speakers only behind Mexico. That's millions of people who speak Spanish and are fully legal. Now you're also having to pay for the countless number of legal citizens that were deported. We already mess up in this regard, now compound this with the need to maximize efficiency and you're looking at billions in cost. From having to provide transportation back, the lawsuits, the cost of housing people who are legal, etc. Not to mention the millions of intentionally bad reports you'll get to simply waste resources and time. This all before accounting for the decimation to the U.S. economy. That's billions leaving the U.S. not just in labor but pure hard cash. It would trigger a recession unlike anything the U.S. has seen.
Yep, and that was with a fraction of the numbers, and with the international contracts already drawn out between the countries… not just some fascist wet-dream like this is.

Stop misinforming. Australian version is a resounding success and an excellent deterrent. British version failed due entanglements with the European Court of Human Rights. The ultimate aim is deterrence as the UK is finding it more expensive to let immigration rules breakdown.

With the GOP in control of both the House and the Senate, no Republican is likely to vote against their proposals. Just look at what happened to Liz Cheney.

"Why does everyone assume that he actually plans on doing this?"

That's more than just babbling low IQ left wing memes and cliches about how 'muh diversity is our strength'.
Actually, it's the toughening of the borders that resulted in this. Many of these undocumented migrants were seasonal workers who would come into eh country, work a bit, and then come back to their own home country. However due to the stronger borders, they found themselves forced to overstay their VISAs or risk not being able to come back.
@ yeah you’re completely wrong. Of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, 3 million crossed the border in 2024 alone per the homeland government website
Trump was in office for 4 years prior to Biden. Why hasn't he deported all 12 million people then? Excuses after excuses is all you people can come up with. Even Obama deported more people than trump and yet you people don't bat an eye to that.
Transportation?... how about giving an old cargo ship waiting to be scrapped an extra year of life... probably could moves 1000s of Criminal immigrants on one of those.
For the first term, it was a focus on getting elected by talking about stopping folks from crossing by building a wall, and then complaining about being stopped by Congress and the Courts. The situation where many folks legally cross the border by flying here, etc. was just ignored. For the second term, it was a focus on getting elected by talking about moving folks back across the border more efficiently. The complaining will be about how the courts end up undermining efficiency by stopping him from doing what he wants and making it more elaborate.
It was never explained to me how he will know who is, and is not. If I am going to store, walking across the street, I do not bring my ID! If you are paying by cash, who does? Do you bring your Passport?
You start with the ones in jail for other stuff, whose identities have been verified as part of that process. Then you move on to sweeping the usual neighborhoods looking for people who aren't currently in jail but have previously been in jail or previously been deported or previously been through "catch and release" and given phony immigration hearing dates 10 years from now - their fingerprints will be in the federal databases, so picking the deportables out of the mass of people you sweep up in the dragnet will be fairly quick. Then you enforce the existing rules on verifying ID for employment, banking and obtaining local driver's licenses. Illegals without the right status will find it harder to get basic life tasks done; some will leave on their own. You're not going to get the guy walking to the store without ID paying cash for a loaf of bread, who's never been caught for anything before, simply while he's out buying food. Which is fine. You'll get enough other guys in the aforementioned ways to make a real difference.
Deporting 4% of the population that provides taxes won’t do it. However, that 895 billion in military budget money and the tax cuts we give to billionaires and corporations on the other hand, will most likely do it.
Why isn't it illegal to enter this country without going through the appropriate channels. Why can't you get a warrent from any judge in thr country? This current administration is a joke.
I think what would be fair would be to offer any illegal persons 6-8 months to pack their things and go, without any fallback or negative record at all, and then after that, it’s deports and records kept. You might get a lot of people being reasonable and out of the way, you know, given what’s coming, it’s compassionate to real people.
I don't see the issue here. everyone they're trying to remove is BY DEFINITION are ILLEGAL (it's against the law to come in without permission; visa; etc.) So this is not really an 'additional cost' it's the cost to actually DO THEIR JOB due to decades of government NOT DOING their job. How about clawing back all salaries and property of all federal officers & legislators (senators; representatives; judges; executives; etc) for the last 50+ years that allowed this to happen? Or could just go the way of other countries which have much more stringent laws. Another option is taking a page from Drakon himself; a country/nation without borders; rule of law; and shared culture isn't a country anymore.
The issue is that a lot of people in the US illegally came on work visas and overstayed. Part of the problem is the visa system is bureaucratic, inefficient and arbitrary in terms of its path to PR.
Straight up false, it will be an ENORMOUS tax gain right away, GDP might reduce in total terms but will likely be higher per capita since they don't pull their weight for output. Enforcement costs will be covered by having violent crime reduced significantly. Did you get this from Reddit?

By their own estimations, it will cost ~$88 Billion a year to run this "program" and could take up to ten years to complete. Meanwhile undocumented immigrants, who contribute $86 Billion a year in taxes, (IRS) will not be working the fields, building houses, staffing Hotels, resorts and private citizens homes, medical staffing will be reduced and prices will climb, along with food shortages and lost revenue in many sectors. This whole scheme could trigger a recession or depression. The car business is already crashing now, and Trump's Tariffs and tax cuts for the wealthy will add at least another 5 Trillion dollars to the National debt. Nice going guys.

Why does Trump need any funding at all??? Let those employers who break the Federal law pay for all deportation-related expenses.
Joe Biden? Kamala Harris? Mayorkas? All of the Democrats in federal office?
@selfdefender780 While this would be fair in a way, considering their involvement, no undocumented individual can be traced to them directly to hold them responsible for their removal costs. However, it is easy to trace each undocumented person to their employers since most of them get paid with checks, just like legal workers. These unscrupulous employers are the real reason for this issue. If no one hired these people, why would they even come here in the first place?
@@agexien Democrats were humiliated at the ballot box, Americans will just have to consider that as compensation since power is the currency of the Left.
It's telling the first response to your comment was an attempt to readjust the blame to politicians and not the businesses with illegal hiring practices. Shows what this is all about to some people.
Prices never go down. Trump spent like a Dem in his last Admin, I don't see why people think it will be different, at least the economy benefited from it. Plus look at all the $ this Admin is shelling out in the last months to make sure inflation stays high. Then there is the pending pandemic and shut down of the economy coming.
What is absurd about this plan, is that there are no penalties for the businesses that hire them! The main magnet for illegal immigration is JOBS, period.
Noncitizens are allowed to work after 180 days in the asylum system= they can obtain a work permit...so they work legally
AbAbsolutely, jobs. Do you think Americans will be working as hard as the immigrants? and lower wages? I don't think so...
Putting it on businesses to verify someone's citizenship status is just more regulatory overhead that puts undue burden on employers. Remember, the vast majority of American businesses are small and don't have massive Legal/HR departments to do the kind of background checks big businesses do. They check for driver's licenses at a minimum, and that's usually coupled with a question about "reliable transportation" to verify the employee can actually get him or herself to work. A business's primary goal in the hiring process is to determine if the employee will be able to do their job. They seek to invest as little time and money into that process as possible because that process is already overhead as it is. Putting it on businesses to enforce immigration laws through hiring just adds to that overhead and could drive otherwise good businesses into bankruptcy.
Do you plan to go work in a meat processing plant or pick crops to replace the lost labor these people provide?
@@2x2is22let's not pretend that the majority of these workers are paid any other way than under the table, tax avoided cash payments. Avoiding taxes is a huge reason WHY an employer would do that

Republicans stripped IRS funding.
4% of the us population.... And what's worse for the average American is that these people are working age.. Getting paychecks, producing and paying some taxes....
This means that the average American will pay a huge bill to kick out people.. So that they will get their taxes raised eventually, their pensions reduced and their products more expensive ... Because you can't simply remove such a huge part of your total population... And an even bigger part of our working age population
Actually, you can. And if you removal a bunch of low skill workers, then the wages for those jobs will increase, meaning Americans doing those jobs make more money and thus contribute more in taxes, both through income taxes and through spending.
You absolutely can remove any percentage of illegal immigrants, and doing so will bring down the cost of housing by reducing demand.
If they pay taxes DIRECTLY, its not illegal.
How are illegals paying taxes? They literally cannot pay taxes since they do not have social security.
@@theevilkoala9250 bro you are missing a key point here. low skill work is the easiest to automate. if you remove low wage migrant workers from low skill work then you incentivize employers to automate their jobs...not pay higher wages to other low skill workers for the same low skill work.

....people shouldn't be relying on illegal immigrants. Some businesses who have chosen to will go under because they won't want to spend the money on legal staff, but thats the consequences of their actions. It will start to make wages rise across the board because companies will realize they now need to pay real wages to legal citizens if they want to stay in business.
We spend billions and billions on waste every year
Who pays for this(?) - the american taxpayer - so we can have higher prices. What smart people does he surround himself with - are they invisible?
Evidence? or did your mom tell you?
Indeed, and this is just going to add to it.
Just assuming this is true and we knew where the waste was *and* Trump and Musk were happy to cut that spending,
It's then got to get through almost the exact same Republican House majority that just failed to pass any appropriations bills and had to again rely on Democrat votes to pass a CR.
Democrats are not going to vote for shifting billions to fund deportation without a lot of accountability.
If it gets through the House then it will probably pass the Senate, but that could also be a tough thing unless Trump breaks the habit of a lifetime and comes up with a clear plan that Senators can defend to their constituents.
Raiding cities and workplaces demanding to see papers sounds good on Fox News, but probably doesn't play well in reality and most Senators are not wanting to anger the CEOs who pay for their re-election campaigns.

During President Barack Obama's administration (2009-2017), approximately 3 million individuals were deported from the United States. This period saw a significant increase in deportations compared to previous administrations, earning Obama the informal title of "Deporter-in-Chief."
the problem with the Obama plan that they double of triple counted people, once arrested, once in the checkpoints, once when they leave the border, so each person was counted 3 times... they also pulled the busses going to Mexico, check passengers that they were already going to Mexico, if they had not papers to be in the USA, they gave them a "deportation slip" that they had to turn in at the border guards before going into Mexico, so they also counted as "deportees".. Obama million people deportations were a myth.. figures don't lie but liars can figure.
Obama's admin really wasn't so bad. Looking at Biden's admin it's like night and day. Biden really is a moron and so are the people he surrounded himself with.
FACT CHECK: TRUE, but will the US mainstream media remind viewers of this?
No they won't and maga will just claim it's "fake news".
@@gregl7597 it would be nice if this little video showed people how many have been deported for the last 20 years to get some perspective. If Obama did say 2 million in a 4 year period - then 5 million doesn't seem out of reachg in 4 years. the keyis to stop the flow of new people or continue to slow it down.
So, why is it so cheap for people to get in, but so expensive to get them out? Something doesn't add up.
Getting in is on the immigrant's dime. Getting kicked out is on the government's dime.
To get in all you need is the clothes on your back, some water, some food, and courage.
To get removed you need a mobile task force + trucks + equipment + clerks + per diem + transportation + god knows what else I'm forgetting.

He doesnt know the language or anything, dudes full-fledged American but cant go back home no matter what. I wonder how many Americans will be deported because of this, you guys need to understand your system is broken. A good solution to this would be to get someone who is a US citizen to "attest" a person is an American, with a limit on the number of people a single person can attest to. That person would also need to bring documents showing their presence in the country for a certain amount of time (school tests, bank account info, referrals from past teachers, etc).

It takes time for new policies to hurt the economy and Biden has fought some of Trumps first term policies fallout even two years into his presidency, and the next president after Trumps second term will also be marred by Trump policies before their own policies can be felt overall. Most people do not understand politics. If you create policies to deliberately hurt the economy it will be felt faster. No point in funding shipyards to make ships with a workforce you diminish. Irony be it if Trump has to order the new ships from a place where he did not get the work force fired - Canada, Mexico or some other foreign country.
Politics is the act of driving a car down a road. You apply a little left policy to turn the wheel a little and the car will eventually be in the left lane - unless of course you apply some right policy before that happens. If you issue extreme left and right policies on the car it will snake its way down the road at a slow speed to not tip over. If you do not understand why the car arrives late at its destination and why everyone in the car is upset and sick then if you do not understand policies by now you will never get it. Is America about to tip over ?

That those tricky problems don't have easy solutions that won't create their own issues is, of course, already too complex for a dumbed-down populace to grasp, not to mention the difficulty in recognizing the real problems in the first place.
Simply put, we have enough calories to feed everyone on Earth many times over, and people are still starving right this second. Moving people from place A to B and building a wall to keep them there will fix nothing except the account balances of a few already wealthy people.

The problem is that you have to have your day in court, which means pre-trial detention. We can't just have ICE kidnapping people and stuffing them on planes to Mexico, there needs to be a process so we know people are in the US illegally.

As easily predicted - all the woke crowd in the comments section now jump on the bandwagon to blame Trump for ANY money spent to solve the problem created by the stinking sewage BIDET regime.
*They conveniently FORGET to mention who created the problem in the first place!!!*
Most of them came in through the airports, actually. They just overstayed their visa. We need a way to kick people out the day after their visa expires if they overstay.
I despise Trump but it was Biden’s policies that encouraged the latest 10 million illegals to enter our country. Most of them went to live on at taxpayer expense.
They walked right through border patrol. They didn't enter illegally, they stayed illegally
@@tstcikhthysjust like Elon Musk and Melania Trump overstayed their visas too correct? They need to pay for breaking the law.

Not a problem. Learn from countries that have expelled more than 1% of their population.

Absolutely cruel policy by cruel people wasting our taxes. Better use of our money is to create avenues for citizenship for these folks.
We have an avenue--come into our nation legally.
The hypocrisy ... The question remains: would you foot the bill? Ms. Lip Service ...
Neither citizenship nor expensive deportation will solve the issue. The reason why immigrants come illegally is because of seeking jobs.

What’s the point in spending this much money? This entire video just tells me how much we are going to spend. What’s the benefits versus say, a more sensible path to citizenship that gets us more tax payers.
Chartering a few commercial ships for deportation can carry 3000 per trip , should be at minimum cost, it was the way our soldiers traveled to Europe in the past.
Are they being deported to Europe then?
What European county is going to take them?
The big cost isn't transportation, it's the actual detention and processing.
why is WSJ acting like were gonna hold them for a significant amount of time, they are staying in detention centers temporarily until theyre sent back to their home country. He is already working out agreements with his tariffs to south american countries.
There are countries that have refused to take deportee’s before. For example, Venezuela. We don’t have any agreements with Venezuela and their government is rather hostile towards us. They are already under sanctions from the US government. They didn’t care then and they won’t care now.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. What makes you think other countries are going to be “working out agreements with his tariffs”?!?!

Approximately how much time do you think it takes to process 11 million deportations?
@@jeannerogers7085 That's the whole point of tariffs. We're a consumer nation so no consumers no money. Tariffs will give the US more power in agreements and that's in every type of agreement from trade to politics and even war. He knows what he's doing.

this would be great if it happens would free up a lot of competition for jobs and thus increase wages of Americans if illegal are deported
Those jobs are historically in fields that already struggle to find workers. Wages won't magically go up without the costs of those industries rising. So congratulations, higher food prices.
Wages wouldn't go up, in fact, prices would

All you do is require businesses to provide proof that their workers are here legally, and landlords provide proof that their tenants are here legally, and the people will leave on their own.
When you employ someone, you have to get ID from them already. The issue is that employers are not required to verify the documentation using the automated system, and even if you did it would be relatively easy for an illegal immigrant to generate a counterfeit ID that matches a citizen's.
@ If the same ID is being used, say thousands of miles apart from each other, wouldn't we know? We could have a database
You take Trump to seriously. He just says whatever his followers want to hear. He never thought this through. So don't work too hard to think it through either. This plan doesn't make any sense.
It's a net lost according to some (because the U.S. government doesn't want to show how big the problem is) is $180 billion per year for keeping illegal aliens in the U.S. That's how much the government spends protecting the boarder, plus giving education to illegals, plus deporting illegal, but having a court system for illegals, plus having illegals in prison for crimes outside of being an illegal alien, plus the cost of sanctuary states paying for housing and salaries for illegal aliens (see the city of new York for that). In a January 11 report by the House of Representatives, the net cost per illegal alien is a lifetime drain of $68,000 in government funds.
OMG
Until they ever actually fix the border first this issue never go away.. Instead of focusing on deportation they need to first focus on sealing the border other wise they just come right back..
But the cost of border security isn't going to go away if everyone is deported. If anything border security costs will go up. Attributing the cost of border security to illegal aliens who are already in the US is a bit unfair given that's not a cost that will go away.
Also you need a court system to deport people, otherwise ICE could just kidnap anyone and send them to Mexico. This is America, everyone is entitled to their day in court, and with good reason. Freedom isn't free as they say.
America isn't built on doing things cheap, it's built on doing things right. It would be cheaper not to have trials for anyone, but it wouldn't be just.
In order to achieve the expected number of deportations, ICE will have to pay immigrant hunters and paid informants, making the assumptions of deportation spending only a small part of the expenses.
Good luck with that, your going to get a ton of bad information, because we're the second largest country with Spanish speakers only behind Mexico. That's millions of people who speak Spanish and are fully legal. Now you're also having to pay for the countless number of legal citizens that were deported. We already mess up in this regard, now compound this with the need to maximize efficiency and you're looking at billions in cost. From having to provide transportation back, the lawsuits, the cost of housing people who are legal, etc. Not to mention the millions of intentionally bad reports you'll get to simply waste resources and time. This all before accounting for the decimation to the U.S. economy. That's billions leaving the U.S. not just in labor but pure hard cash. It would trigger a recession unlike anything the U.S. has seen.
Immigrant hunters? Do u hear yourself? That's insane
Idc
You want to hire randoms and vigilantes you found in the street to help with deportations? My good sir, chalk is not food. Stop eating it.
I can see your lie really bothers you.
Britain 🇬🇧
Tried that off shore detention strategy ( Rwanda plan). It failed and cost hundreds of millions, just like the Australian version.
Yep, and that was with a fraction of the numbers, and with the international contracts already drawn out between the countries… not just some fascist wet-dream like this is.
I’m from Britain and that’s a big fat lie. The Rwanda plan never happened. The Conservative Party came up with the plan, and then the Labour Party cancelled the plan after entering office. Don’t speak about things that you clearly have no idea about 😂
That's because Britain is subject to ridiculous "human rights" laws which make it impossible to deport or stop immigrants.
Stop misinforming.
Australian version is a resounding success and an excellent deterrent.
British version failed due entanglements with the European Court of Human Rights. The ultimate aim is deterrence as the UK is finding it more expensive to let immigration rules breakdown.

With the GOP in control of both the House and the Senate, no Republican is likely to vote against their proposals. Just look at what happened to Liz Cheney.

HOW DARE YOU SPEAK FACTS.......
Actually, it's the toughening of the borders that resulted in this. Many of these undocumented migrants were seasonal workers who would come into eh country, work a bit, and then come back to their own home country. However due to the stronger borders, they found themselves forced to overstay their VISAs or risk not being able to come back.
@ yeah you’re completely wrong. Of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, 3 million crossed the border in 2024 alone per the homeland government website
Trump was in office for 4 years prior to Biden. Why hasn't he deported all 12 million people then? Excuses after excuses is all you people can come up with. Even Obama deported more people than trump and yet you people don't bat an eye to that.
This makes me sick...

The illegal immigration problem never should have been allowed to get this bad.
It’s costing more to keep them in our schools and medical system.
Transportation?... how about giving an old cargo ship waiting to be scrapped an extra year of life... probably could moves 1000s of Criminal immigrants on one of those.
Sounds just that what the Germans did in the early 1940's. Yet I bet you chose to ignore the parallels.
What is the difference between this plan and what they did during his 1st term? It sounds the exact same.
there is no difference. If trump actually does something this terrm, its because elon the libertarian donated 200 million.
@@davidanalyst671a libertarian who likes state subsidies, tariffs, and lucrative state contracts.
Trumped into much of anything during his first term. So what are you talking about?
For the first term, it was a focus on getting elected by talking about stopping folks from crossing by building a wall, and then complaining about being stopped by Congress and the Courts. The situation where many folks legally cross the border by flying here, etc. was just ignored. For the second term, it was a focus on getting elected by talking about moving folks back across the border more efficiently. The complaining will be about how the courts end up undermining efficiency by stopping him from doing what he wants and making it more elaborate.
Trump didn't have 14+ million new illegal immigrants during his first term. Biden/Harris allowed that at your expense since 2021.
It was never explained to me how he will know who is, and is not. If I am going to store, walking across the street, I do not bring my ID! If you are paying by cash, who does? Do you bring your Passport?
Pretty sure the price of freedom will turn out to be your freedom.
@@justdadstuff5171 You did not answer my question. Do you bring ID with you, if you are going out for a small Grocery Item, and paying by Cash?
You start with the ones in jail for other stuff, whose identities have been verified as part of that process.
Then you move on to sweeping the usual neighborhoods looking for people who aren't currently in jail but have previously been in jail or previously been deported or previously been through "catch and release" and given phony immigration hearing dates 10 years from now - their fingerprints will be in the federal databases, so picking the deportables out of the mass of people you sweep up in the dragnet will be fairly quick.
Then you enforce the existing rules on verifying ID for employment, banking and obtaining local driver's licenses. Illegals without the right status will find it harder to get basic life tasks done; some will leave on their own.
You're not going to get the guy walking to the store without ID paying cash for a loaf of bread, who's never been caught for anything before, simply while he's out buying food. Which is fine. You'll get enough other guys in the aforementioned ways to make a real difference.
The only thing they can do is to illegally, racially profile people, in the past they have targeted people for speaking Spanish.
@@dkg_gdk That is CLOSER to an answer. Thank You! That is what I was looking for.

Deporting 4% of the population that provides taxes won’t do it. However, that 895 billion in military budget money and the tax cuts we give to billionaires and corporations on the other hand, will most likely do it.
detain children for years?
Notice how they have no plan to increase processing
parents can take them...
Probably safer than being shuffled between coyotes
They will probably be deported much quicker than that.
The US already has experience. After Pearl Harbor, it locked up 100,000 Americans of Japanese descent in camps. Including children of course.
Why isn't it illegal to enter this country without going through the appropriate channels. Why can't you get a warrent from any judge in thr country? This current administration is a joke.
They could work and pay for their own detention costs in the camps...
I think what would be fair would be to offer any illegal persons 6-8 months to pack their things and go, without any fallback or negative record at all, and then after that, it’s deports and records kept. You might get a lot of people being reasonable and out of the way, you know, given what’s coming, it’s compassionate to real people.
So much for government efficiency
13 million take 6 million from LA and we're solid
More then 13 million they are in every state now. Some states with millions of them
I don't see the issue here. everyone they're trying to remove is BY DEFINITION are ILLEGAL (it's against the law to come in without permission; visa; etc.) So this is not really an 'additional cost' it's the cost to actually DO THEIR JOB due to decades of government NOT DOING their job. How about clawing back all salaries and property of all federal officers & legislators (senators; representatives; judges; executives; etc) for the last 50+ years that allowed this to happen? Or could just go the way of other countries which have much more stringent laws. Another option is taking a page from Drakon himself; a country/nation without borders; rule of law; and shared culture isn't a country anymore.

@ValeAliz
The US is more akin to a pyramid scheme than a country. If you can't see that you're just living in blissful ignorance.
The issue is that a lot of people in the US illegally came on work visas and overstayed. Part of the problem is the visa system is bureaucratic, inefficient and arbitrary in terms of its path to PR.
Estimated Total Economic Impact
Lost Taxes (10 Years): $967 billion.
GDP Reduction (10 Years): $16 trillion.
Enforcement Costs: $213 billion+.
Labor Shortages and Market Disruptions: Billions annually (difficult to quantify fully).
Overall Economic Impact (10-Year Estimate): $17 trillion+.
Straight up false, it will be an ENORMOUS tax gain right away, GDP might reduce in total terms but will likely be higher per capita since they don't pull their weight for output.
Enforcement costs will be covered by having violent crime reduced significantly.
