Immigration experts say Donald Trump's mass deportation plan, if carried out, could be complicated and cost billions a year. It could also lead to more family separations. https://youtu.be/WjCHjwlSMFI

Everything is complicated and expensive. Doing nothing about it is even worse.

Costs more to keep them and they don't have to be separated. They can leave as a family.

Mass deportation poses significant logistical, economic, and ethical challenges that need careful consideration. Implementing deportations on a large scale would require massive resources, including increased spending on enforcement, detention, and legal processes. Historically, actions like these disrupt local economies and key industries—such as agriculture, construction, and hospitality—that rely heavily on immigrant labor. According to the American Action Forum, mass deportation could cost between $400 billion and $600 billion and reduce the GDP by $1.6 trillion over the next 20 years due to the sudden loss in labor force. I’m not in favor of mass deportation because it’s riddled with complications. For example, how would they decide who qualifies for deportation, and how would they ensure U.S. citizens or legal residents aren't wrongly affected? We’ve seen cases where even citizens have been mistakenly caught up in deportation efforts due to paperwork errors, and expanding this process could amplify those risks. There's also the matter of international perception. Mass deportations could strain relationships with allies who may view such measures as extreme or inhumane. Another crucial factor is the cost. The enormous expenses of mass deportation could potentially lead to higher taxes for the working class or force cuts to essential services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure. In contrast, a long-term approach to immigration reform could be less expensive and even economically beneficial. Integrating immigrants into the workforce legally allows them to contribute to the tax base, supporting public services instead of draining resources. In the end, addressing immigration through reform rather than extreme measures seems like the more financially sustainable and ethically sound approach.

Families or not. Illegal is still illegal. That's part of the risk and price to pay when doing something illegal.
