Cost of Deportation vs. Societal Costs
Cost of Deportation vs. Societal Costs
A Columbia University study recently estimated that illegal immigrants cost American tax payers $68 Billion a year (e.g. welfare, heath care, incarceration, etc.)
The left-wing Center for American Progress estimated (liberally) that it would cost $41 Billion a year for 5 years (total of $206 Billion) to deport.
So, over a 5-year period the breakdown would be:
1) Allowing illegals to remain: $340 Billion
2) Deportation: $206 Billion
Ergo, deportation is cheaper. Furthermore, after the 5 year period, deportation would be drastically cheaper vis-a-vis societal costs, as the number to deport would decline but without deportation the number to receive benefits would increase.
Mind you, however, one should not base his decision only on cost-benefit analysis. There are more profound reasons why critics should support a form of deportation, such as: (1) the U.S. has not historically been a “nation of immigrants” (but rather a nation of settlers and colonists), (2) too many people are here to assimilate, (3) critics do not want America to become a third-world country, and (4) the U.S. should not reward law breakers.
