"While the Congressional Budget Office estimates this mass deportation will cost at least $88 billion a year, another cost that is rarely mentioned is that according to Bloomberg, undocumented immigrants currently pay about $100 billion a year in taxes. Losing that income, too, will likely have to be made up with cuts from elsewhere."

"Trump’s immigration crackdown is all but certain to go beyond mass deportations. The president-elect has made clear that he intends to tear down the country’s immigration system as we know it, by ending birthright citizenship, reviving the 'Muslim Ban,' and rolling back refugee resettlement."

"Even 'documented' immigrants will not be safe, because Miller has declared that he will pursue the seldom-used process of 'denaturalization' to go after people who have been citizens for years or decades, based on suspicions about purported fraud on their naturalization applications.
