THIS IS BIG BUSINESS FOR THE PRIVATE PRISON INDUSTRY AND AMERICANS ARE GOING TO BE PAYING BILLIONS TO HOUSE THESE PEOPLE WHILE THEY GO THROUGH DUE PROCESS..THIS WILL DESTROY THE AMERICAN ECONOMY.

Shes complaining about cost, in the meantime the democrats have spent over 180 billion dollars on illegals. The illegals are getting free medical, food, housing, cothes, phones and spending money. That 180 billion dollars should have been used for American citizens.

This will be another Trump administration shit show wasting billions of dollars. Got my popcorn, and now just waiting for the show to start.

As an American I sympathize with you bc we know full well what happened here. We've spent billions and cannot sustain the illegal immigrants. Be ready for the possibility of criminals and drugs and trafficking.

Guess who will pay the 88 Billions a year to deport illegals lol those people are working jobs that Americans don’t even want to take. Grocery prices will go up and everything else. Good luck!

So now CNN cares about the cost of immigration?! But when NYC spent billions giving illegal immigrants free hotel rooms & $350/week debit cards they were silent. Give me a break. Thank you mr president for evicting these freeloaders

It'll cost hundreds of billions a year and will leave your labor sector decimated. Go for it, Brad. I'm sure all the small businesses will love it.\n\nOTOH, the moneyed class who have been busy buying up land to build detention centers will REALLY appreciate all the taxpayer dollars coming their way.

Seems Funny how people R Complaining about how much this will Cost!!!! BUT IF USA ALREADY SPENT BILLIONS ON THESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS??? N WE(AMERICAN TAXPAYERS) SENT BILLIONS TO OTHER COUNTRIES TO FIGHT THEIR WARS????? Y NOT INVEST IN MAKIN OUR COUNTRY SAFER N GET THESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ALL OUTTA HERE!!!! This way these business owners will have to pay tge correct wages for American Citizens to work 4 them.

No, it's the Canadian colleges and economy that is affected, they will lose around 3 billion dollars per year because of this move. Infact, they were already having low application rates due to the diplomatic Fiasco between india and Canada, so they probably doing it to save face(basically, rejecting someone before they have a chance to reject you, lol) and also appease the coservatives, elections are on the way after all and Trudeau wants to win at any cost. This is nothing but desperate

Indian students who are smart are needed in India. Instead of spending Billions of Dollars in Canada, use that Money to help India.

This is great Indian economy can now save upto $30 billion dollars every year in student and tution fees.

Each year, undocumented workers pay $59.4 billion in federal tax contributions and $37.3 billion in state and local tax contributions. Contrary to the false narrative about immigration reform harming the economy, an earned path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants living and working across the United States would boost American economic growth, increasing U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), raising wages, and creating new jobs. Moreover, immigrants, regardless of their legal status, are a boon for the solvency of Social Security and Medicare. Indeed, the trustees who are charged with overseeing the Social Security and Medicare programs estimate that high-immigration scenarios lead to higher solvency for the programs

the cost of a one-time mass deportation operation aimed at both those populations—an estimated total of is at least $315 billion.

Get real they’re just going to do high profile deportations and hope to scare the rest away. It will cost him billions of dollars to do this.

They overwhelmed our economy! They overwhelmed our city streets! Billions of dollars have been spent on their well being! Idc what age! Idc if they are criminals or not! They have to go!!

Billions spent on arming an illegal murderer Country. Billions are spent in electing a war and money monger learder. And no one can help the poorest hunsn beings fleying thrit country ee devasted. Where is humanity? Free America not from those seeking refuge but from criminsl leaders not caring one iota anout himan lives

According to the Pew Research Center, as of 2022, undocumented workers and their households pay $79.7 billion in federal tax contributions and $41 billion in \nstate and local tax contributions. These households hold $314.9 billion in spending power and hold eleven million jobs and are 4.7% of the workforce. California experienced \na decrease in undocumented workers 2020-2022. Crime was at a twenty year low up to 2024 as was inflation for September end it was 0.2% and over the last twelve months 2.4%\ninflation finally under control.

Cost to deport 1 million migrants 88 billion dollars. Sad I believe no one is going to see who is legal and just round everyone up because Trump has whipped everyone up in a frenzy. People forget he started a lot of the mess himself. May God help us all.

The US government literally wastes hundreds of billions on paperwork/payment mistakes every year.

Now that we know how you Cubans feel. I hope for generations you understand that you have cost yourself millions and billions of potential dollars in tourism for your communities in the future. That’s why the south and Texas will have to cry their own river to deal with what they have created for themselves. The future citizens of the world who look down on Trump and the type of people who vote for him don’t want to come to Florida anymore. We’ll fly all the way to Italy or Africa or the Caribbean. \nSame for other warm states. I could visit them as a wealthier American, but I simply won’t and never will now. That’s okay. \n\nNew York and liberal blue states will always be loved by the world and you all will be looked at as the trash no nothing drop outs who can’t make it in big cities because you’re just not good enough.\n\nIt’s fine to be upset about that, but giving the country over to someone who is cozy with Putin and our enemies? When Russia sits on our national grid again and threatens to turn it off if we don’t follow its demands we’ll see how in control of your country you really are.

Deported 1.8 million people costs 88 billion dollars.

This is cruel and beyond that it's economically idiotic. Just wait until your grocery prices go through the roof. Farmers CANNOT find Americans to pick tomatoes, watermelons, etc. etc. American citizens just simply won't do the work.There are countless other industries that use undocumented workers. We are headed for a higher inflation again if this is implemented. How about immigration reform instead? How about work permits? How about paths to citizenship? We need the workers. Our legislators should do their job and come up with immigration reform rather than spend billions rounding up people and hamstringing our economy in the process. Maybe this move along with tariffs will help Americans realize that electing Trump was a mistake.

ignoring capture costs, court costs, and shipping out costs, it costs about $65,000 a prisoner in this country. so You're looking at just 1 billion dollars on housing them.\n\nOur prisons are over crowded at 1.2 million prisoners and you want to up it to 16.2 million? How much will it cost to build those new prisons? Hint: A lot more than right now because the work force you need to build those prisons are the same people your going to put in them.

American Action Forum, a conservative think tank, estimated arresting and removing all undocumented immigrants from the US would cost at least $100 billion and take 20 years.

The billions of dollars spent on illegals could have helped a lot of Americans. It is wrong what is happening to our tax money.

The total cost of a 1 time deportation operation is about $315 Billion. ? instead of executive judicial power using it for a national stimulus payment.

This guy is a blow hard! Let’s start by using the 1.5 billion dollars we spent on illegals in the last 2 years feeding, housing and free medical. What is the cost for the next year, years? They have to go they are in this country illegally…..

Hmmmm where will we find funds? I dunno maybe from all the BILLIONS Trump won’t be sending overseas to Ukraine anymore.

15 million people to deport at (an estimated) $88 billion per million deportees. That’s a cost of $1,320,000,000,000 while Musk is also trying to implement his austerity measures and not accounting for the workforce drain. That’ll make for a great economy. This is so blindly stupid

100 billion, that’s it? That’s a bargain! Let’s gooo!

Where is the money coming from to find, secure, house for processing, and fly out 15 million people? That's going to be billions. And who will take the place of them in their jobs - farm work, food industry, food processing, etc?

CNN will pay Billions of dollars in fines. Or lose their broadcast license.

BIDEN AND HARRIS'S ABSOLUTE LAWLESSNESS CONCERNING OUR BORDER LAWS ARE INFURIATING!! EVERY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT NEEDS DEPORTED NOW!! THERE HERE ILLEGALLY THAT'S IT!!! WE'RE SPENDING 451 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR OF TAXPAYERS MONEY TO SUPPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS!! BULLSHIT!! ALL AMERICAN RESOURCES SHOULD GO TO AMERICANS!! NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS!! WE NEED MASS DEPORTATION NOW!! TRUMP/ VANCE PUTTING AMERICANS 1ST!! NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS!!SEMPER FI!!

I'm very skeptical of the steps that our Government will take. I will only change my opinion when I have evidence of effective action. Remember that this government touted a budget with a $40 Billion deficit as being a fiscally responsible one. Further, we've watched our public service grow by 40% while nothing but nothing is actually working better. The ability to effectively manage anything is sorely lacking. Stay tuned for the fall-out on this one...

I'm more interested in knowing why the top 10 billionaires made 64 billion in profits this year in Harley gave any taxes up I'm really more interested about that there's some immigrants that doesn't threaten me at all I live in Florida I don't run across any violent illegals at all it's all hype bulshit

Why don't they talk about the real facts how the top 10 billionaires made over 64 billion in profits this year with hardly any tax base not three that's very important

Who will report millions? \nIt will cost billions to kick out billions. Less bombs made? Then billionaires will cry and complain.

simplify the process, i mean you spend billions in hotels meals and cash money as well as federal assistance to this illegal folks, and you are saying that you can't use that money to deport them?

It will cost billions

Thing is these people pay taxes. Between 6 to 12 Billion a year. They pay into Social Security but don't get to take it out. SO if you get rid of these people where is that money going to come from? That's why Economists say in 6 years the SSI fund will be insolvent which means no money for seniors. And who exactly are going to go into the fields to pick the fruit and vegetables in pouring rain or 100 degree temperatures? I highly doubt Americans will be lining up to fill those positions! Seem the lunatic gets these great ideas without any thought of what the ramifications are. Not exactly a good trait in a President lol

Illegal migrants cost American Tax Payers 120 billion each year.

I would like to highlight the significant economic impact of immigration and international students on Canada's economy. International students contribute substantially to Canada's GDP, with recent estimates showing a contribution of $30.9 billion in 2022, representing 1.2% of the country's total GDP212. This contribution comes from their spending on tuition, accommodation, and other expenses. I remember at 2021 The goverment made a huge compain to have a new immigration acroos the world They did not consider the consequence of high number in immigrate expecially indian nation For instance Social and culturel change, facing adaption problem and bring some conflict political ideas from their back home to Canada .The government must balance all natiotion to have diversty community. They did not do good job. Dont blame indian please, they are not in good position also.

If we can pay $100 Billion per year to Ukraine to fight Brandon's proxy war against Russia, we can spend $100 Billion over 10 years to defend our own border. We can also lock up Mayorkis and Biden for flying them into the country, putting them up in hotels with free food and lodging, debt cards for walking around fun money or to send home to pay a coyote to escort another family members passage.

So utterly incompetent .. they can’t manage the legal entry system .. they can’t manage one thing I can think of , it’s just constant knee jerk reactive panic to failure after failure .. bad , stupid policies , 6 billion for legal gun confiscation.. it’s crazy

Funny to hear this goofy talk about mismanaging funds while we send billions to Ukraine while veterans are homeless and starving in the states.

100 billion is waaaaaaaay cheaper than the cost of taling care them!

$150.7 billion spent on illegal immigrants. The freebies need to end.

97 billion in taxes. Ny alone in 2024 had 40 billion just for illegal immigrants for housing and food soo send them home !!!!

Finally we can lower deaths car insurance because illegals wont be driving illegally and hitting citizens and tax spending will go down since they wont need to pay hundreds of billions to house illegals

I am sick to death of media cherry picking facts they want to share. Oh poor immigrants. I am sorry, if this harsh but America can't fix the world and we aren't responsible for those from other countries. It really annoys me that all we hear is poor immigrants and immigrants rights. Sice Biden has taken office the housing crisis has gotten out of the control. Why? Simple math, you move in billions of people, equal population what you already have, but can't increase housing, they have to go somewhere. With the government helping migraints, more is going to them than our own. What is happening is they are pushing out people in migraint held cities and displacing existing residents. So those disbled , elderly, veterans and drug addicted people who are being displaced are being forced to smaller communities that don't have the infrastructure in place to cope with so many displaced people. Then you end up with a huge issue of Homeless people trying to live in Tents in the middle of winter. j You have a vast number of elderly women taking to van life because they can't afford to live any other way. Would you like to your Grandma living in Van, constantly on the go? YOu are being UNAmerican in your news reporting, when you fail to give fair reporting and do equal amount of investigating into who this actually affects amount the American people. Far as I am concerned you need to be shut down, because you are enemy of the US.
