D.C. - The White House and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security are claiming that 73,000 undocumented immigrants are in MAGA Gestapo USICE custody and are being processed for deportation today, which depending on the duration of actual deportation, will eventually cost Amerikkka more than $1,241,000,000 and counting. The cost of deporting one undocumented immigrant averages about $17K, or up to $30K, and even up to $100,000, depending on the duration of the individual's actual deportation. In addition to these costs, deployment of 3,000 immigration enforcement operations agents and federal partners to states, like USICE, USCBP and other federal partners including  the national guard for a mission to locate and detain suspected undocumented individuals will double and triple the costs. Also, the use of tear gas and flash canisters with exploding rubber pallets by USICE and federal partners to allegedly control crowds of protesters exceeds costs of the actual total immigration enforcement operations, which another added cost is the $50K bonus recruitment of each USICE agent hired to join the ranks of MAGA USICE cartel.

The Trump MAGA immigration enforcement operations are race driven and based on allegedly discriminating hard working immigrants of color, especially Latinos/Hispanics who contribute billions of dollars into the economy including tax contributions to local, county, state and federal government as stakeholders in the U.S. today.

It's a lot cheaper for America, if the U.S. Congress would take the first step and resolve all these unnecessary havoc and chaotic confrontations between Americans and the MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) government immigration enforcement operations in the country by passing a Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill with a path to citizenship. Also, Trump could easily neutralize today's clashes between Blue states, Red states and the MAGA White House administration by merely enacting an amnesty executive order saving our country's economy and bringing our nation one step closer to provide affordable healthcare, housing, education, lower food costs, infrastructure and etc., including a prosperous economy, if allowed to do so by the White Nationalists and the MAGA rich oligarchy running the White House.

Any hope, Trump can stop pretending he is a facist dictator and become another Ronald Reagan and follow in Reagan's footsteps by enacting amnesty to the millions of undocumented tax payers and hard working undocumented immigrant workers in the dairy, farming, construction, hospitality, restaurant industry? Only time will tell.

Cost to operate immigration enforcement in 2025.

According to Brad Bernstein Esq., in 2025, the U.S. spent $42B in immigration enforcement alone in border patrol, detentions, deportations, military deployment, state operations, intelligence agencies.

The break down: 

• $34B to operate immigration enforcement agencies, USDHS, USICE, and USCBP

• $2B cost to deploy military to the Southern border

• $2.4B cost for Texas alone

• $50M cost for other states to sent national guard to border and states for immigration enforcement operations 

• $1.5B cost for immigration courts

• over $1B for states and local jails to hold immigrants who have not committed any crime

• $800M cost for intelligence agencies and State Department to track undocumented immigrants 

• $100B, undocumented immigrants paid in taxes in 2025 alone, if legalized today, they would pay an additional $100B per year

It's cheaper to pass a comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship or Trump providing amnesty for more than 13M undocumented workers in the US.


Editor's note:

Unbelievable, but true...USDHS adopted the Nazi slogan, "One of ours, all of yours." USDHS Secretary Kristi Noem doesn't hide it anymore.
