    Well, the cost to the country will certainly be monumental.

    Beyond the direct financial cost of mass deportation, we also estimated the impact on the U.S. economy. Due to the loss of workers across U.S. industries, we found that mass deportation would reduce the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) by 4.2 to 6.8 percent. It would also result in significant reduction in tax revenues for the U.S. government. In 2022 alone, undocumented immigrant households paid $46.8 billion in federal taxes and $29.3 billion in state and local taxes. Undocumented immigrants also contributed $22.6 billion to Social Security and $5.7 billion to Medicare.

    AOC became much for selective in who she talks to in congressional hearings. She didn’t even know until a year ago that a Republican could yield time to a witness to speak uninterrupted and answer all the questions AOC tried to silence them on.

    McCarthy had her escorted out of the chamber during this incident.

    There's a reason you didn't cite your source. I'd be ashamed of it, too.

    This is what an alpha male sounds like.

    Trump's 'border czar' warns Dem govs rejecting Trump deportation plan: ‘Get the hell out of the way’

    "If you don’t want to work with us, then get the hell out all the way, we’re going to do it. What it means is, rather than send 100 people to Boston, we’re going to send 200 agents to Boston. We're going to get the job done," he said.

    "We have a mandate. I think the American people just gave President Trump a mandate. That's why he's elected -- to secure the border, save lives and deport people, especially national security threats and public safety threats. So if you’re not going to help us, step aside, but don't get in our way, because there will be consequences."

    Homan said that the immediate focus will be on those illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or charges, as had been the focus under the first Trump administration.

    "It’s not going to be a massive sweep of neighborhoods, it’s not going to be massive raids. It's going to be a targeted enforcement operation," he said.

    However, he warned that it does not mean anyone is off the table. "If you're in a country illegally, you've got a problem."

    Him and Stephen Miller were part of the previous administration and that didn't happen, instead they come back with raises.
    People get fired for being bad at their job and/or being opposing the cause for the American people. Those people are the ones who oppose Trump and make stuff up for msnbc paychecks

    But seriously, do you think Musk will approve a plan that is estimated to cost almost $1T to complete and cut GDP between 4-6%?

    Is this what you are referring to?

    The claim: Video shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being thrown out of Congress
    Some social media users are sharing a video they claim shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., being thrown out of Congress.

    "AOC PULLS HUMILIATING Stunts in Congress, Gets THROWN Out," reads the caption of an Oct. 10 Facebook post featuring the video.

    The video garnered more than 21,000 views in two days. Similar viral iterations have been shared on Facebook.

    But the claim is false. The video includes a clip of Ocasio-Cortez speaking at a 2019 congressional hearing, followed by clips of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, speaking. At no point does the video show Ocasio-Cortez being thrown out of Congress.

    Got a link proving your assertion?

    Don't you think most Repubs don't have any idea what the numbers really are since trump and RWM constantly spew lies about it?

    I'm sure that the Representatives have access to DHS official statistics, i.e. the administration's official lies.

    How much are the illegals costing us now and how much will that increase as new illegals arrive?

    I think if Holman comes across an illegal with a job, is paying taxes and is just a decent person who claimed asylum at the border to get here and was allowed in, then that illegal should be given a (small) chance to stay here provided s/he goes through the process, follows the law and pays a hefty fine. On the flip side, they can NEVER become a citizen and if they commit just one crime it's back to the shithole they came from.

    With that said, any illegal who committed a crime or is a taker and not a maker - out you go. Also, any illegal who came across our border in the middle of the desert instead of claiming 'asylum' at a port of entry is immediately deported and their re-entry is denied for life. That's 40% of the illegals right there. Plus, any illegal protesting anything in this country gets bounced back to Tacoland tomorrow.

    Hopefully that is after Homan has already deported the illegal immigrants that are in federal prison (26% of federal prisoners are illegal immigrants). I am truly excited by this pick.

    I'm not a Democrat, so fortelling the future is not my thing, but I still think cutting Ukraine off and using that money to secure our BORDERS IS A NEATO IDEA.

    I mean that is the post you quoted ;)

    *sighs. We been over this.
    The immigration bill the republicans killed was NOT a immigration bill, and it wasn't bipartisan.
    It was in fact the "pay off Ukraine so they can pay off the big guy" bill.

    Of $120 BILLION in the bill over $100 BILLION was in point of fact foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel, and the pacific rim countries.

    The remaining $20 BILLION earmarked for "immigration reform" was aimed at speeding the process of immigration, with the only part aimed at stopping the invasion of ILLEGAL MIGRANTS to hire an additional 1,500 border patrol.

    Or, we can encourage self deportation.
    Make it known that if we have to come and find you and detain you and deport you, we will note that you were here ILLEGALLY and you won't even be able to apply for immigration for 5 years.

    However, if you self deport and later want to apply for immigration we can ignore your past trespasses.

    See how simple, if you quit with the hysterical crying wolf??

    Lee Zeldin is being tapped to run the EPA. He says the administration is going to restore US energy dominance, bring back jobs, revitalize the auto industry, and make the US number one in AI. Too late, Biden already did that.

    Wait.
    Brandon revitalized the auto business? Did he forget to tell them?

    Didja hear, over 800,000 jobs brandon claimed to have "created" don't exist?

    Energy dominance? AI?
    When did he do that?
    While driving inflation to new heights?
    While inviting MILLIONS of ILLEGAL MIGRANTS into the country?
