Title: The Costs of Mass Deportation: Impractical, Expensive, and Ineffective
Summary: This paper argues that mass deportation of undocumented immigrants is prohibitively expensive and will trigger profound collateral consequences. The report analyses publicly available data to assess the costs and steps required to carry out such a policy - from point of arrest through transportation out of the country. The report adopts conservative assumptions for key variables to ensure that the estimated program and spending requirements are realistic and not overstated. The findings show conclusively that a deportation-only immigration strategy would be extremely expensive.
