Mass deportation would cost the U.S. economy $260 billion over 10 years, disrupt key industries, and strain state & local budgets. Comprehensive immigration reform offers a smarter, more cost-effective solution. #ImmigrationReform #EconomicImpact #DeportationCosts

October 2024 report on the costs and impacts of mass deportation in the US
Key Points:
1. Scale:
- Target population: 13.3 million people (11 million undocumented immigrants as of 2022 + 2.3 million additional arrivals from Jan 2023-Apr 2024)
- Represents 3.3% of total US population and 23.8% of immigrant population
2. Estimated Costs:
- One-time mass deportation operation: At least $315 billion
- Alternative yearly approach (1 million deportations/year): $88 billion annually, totaling $967.9 billion over ~11 years
3. Economic Impact:
- GDP reduction: 4.2% to 6.8% ($1.1-1.7 trillion in 2022 dollars)
- Loss of $46.8 billion in federal taxes and $29.3 billion in state/local taxes annually
- Loss of $22.6 billion in Social Security and $5.7 billion in Medicare contributions
4. Labor Market Effects:
- Significant impact on key industries:
- Construction: Would lose ~14% of workforce
- Agriculture and hospitality: Major workforce reductions
- Loss of 1 million undocumented entrepreneurs generating $27.1 billion in business income
5. Human Impact:
- Affects 4 million mixed-status families
- Impacts 8.5 million US citizens with undocumented family members
- 5.1 million US citizen children have undocumented family members
- Would reduce affected household incomes by average of 62.7% ($51,200/year)
6. Geographic Impact:
- Heaviest impact in California, Texas, and Florida
- These three states contain 47.2% of undocumented population
- About 1 in 20 residents would be deported in these states
The report emphasizes these are conservative estimates and the actual costs and impacts could be significantly higher, particularly given the unprecedented scale of such an operation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3epzqefaicyxkh2z3fywbmy5/bafkreie6ok5d6acb6ng7gwaxohgnxh22klzap7kltibwb3ccr3wgmfrgge)
