"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."

@wdlindsy Putting a dollar figure on such ugly inhumanity feels so… cold. Yet it is an undeniable part of the hideous equation, and the one that will get the attention of the fiscally-minded-but-hard-hearted.
@wdlindsy@toad.social@Laloofah Yes, it is part of the hideous equation, for sure. We've just watched a film about a group of Jewish children experimented on medically by the Nazis and then murdered just as Germany surrendered, and a constant theme in that film, based on a true story, was how groups in Germany and business leaders were raking in money due to the barbarism.
