Does anyone stop to think how much it would cost to deport all the illegals?

Question

Okay, just think, there are about 11 million illegals here, give or take. 60% of the 11 million are from Central and South America, thats about 6.5 million people. Now, we have to hire people to track these 6.5 million people down and round them up, if we are lucky we will find employees skilled at both tasks, if not, thats two separate work forces we have to hire. And we have to hire legals, so that means they're getting at least minimum wage, chances are they wont work for that little of a paycheck though. Then we have to get these 6.5 million people on a vehicle. A bus has about 20 seats, three to a seat if we're cruel, thats 108,334 busses, 2 to a seat and its 162,500 busses. A bus gets about 2-3 mpg, so assuming they all start at my home town, thats 665 miles or 24,014,037 gallons of gas. Gas is about 2.10 a gallon here, thats $50,429,477 on gas alone to get illegals out of this country. Assuming they all start in Denver, which they wont. You're willing to pay for that?

Dont forget, we're also paying people to find them, round them up and drive the busses. I mean, if you're willing to pay for that, by all means do, but I'm not pitching.

OH, and theres the other 40 % who have to be rounded up and flown somewhere. Good times.

I know we arent actually going to do this, I'm posing the question to people who say we should. Surely we all know someone who has said such a thing.

Answer 1

It wouldn't be hard to find them at all ! Don't they all live in the same apartment?

Answer 2

Many Will Deport Themselves Once The Orders Are Issued

The Ones That Dont

For Mexican ILLEGAL Aliens -
I Say Pack Em In Coast Guard C-130s
And Fly Them To The SOUTHERNMOST Point In Mexico
So It Wont Be As Easy To Return

They Will Not Be Dropped Off Just Over The Fence
With A Pat On The Back
And A Hearty " I'll SeeYa Tomorrow Manuel ! " (Labor)
Only To Jump The Fence And Return The Next Day

They'll Have The Whole Country Of Mexico To Travel Through
Just To Reach Our Border

Thats ALOT Of Travel Time To THINK About ILLEGAL Re-Entry

And Awareness Of This Practice
Will Provide Many ILLEGAL Aliens
The Opportunity To LEAVE On Their Own

To Prevent Themselves From Being Sent TOO FAR SOUTH
Of Their Homes In Mexico

OTM ILLEGAL Aliens
Will Be Returned To Their Nations In A Similar Manner

The National Guard And The Coast Guard
Have The EQUIPMENT And The TRAINING
To Effectively Move Large Amounts Of People

Our SOLDIERS Are Crammed Into C - 130s
To Go Overseas To Do Our Warring
ILLEGAL Aliens Shouldnt Be Treated Any Better Or Worse

A C-130 Can Carry Far More ILLEGAL ALIENS
Than A Commercial Airliner Or Bus
Therefore We Can MOVE MORE PER TRIP

Set Up (Build) About Twenty (Thirty) Detention Centers
Throughout The USA
One For Every 3 - 4 States (Average) And Then Some
Many Of Them Along The US/Mexico Border

That Will Provide A Constant Military Prensense
At Strategic Locations On The Border

2000 Beds Per Center Will Be Plenty
The Size Of An Average Federal Prison
Guarded And Operated By
Joint National Guard/Coast Guard Officials

As ILLEGAL Aliens Are Discovered In Our Nation
By Local Law Enforcement And ICE
They Will Be Transported By Bus Or Air
By The National Guard Or Coast Guard
Within 48 - 60 Hours
To The Nearest Detention Center

For IMMEDIATE DEPORTATION
To The Point FURTHEST From The USA
In Their Nation Of Origin

Airstrip(s) At The Newly Constructed Detention Centers
Built By CERTIFIED AMERICAN LABOR
Will Ensure Full Time Operation
And MINIMAL Taxpayer Funded Housing For ILLEGAL ALIENS

The Average Stay For A Deportee
In One Of These Centers Will Be Less Than 48 - 60 Hours

We Will Be Transporting Found ILLEGALS
To The Detention Centers
And Flying Them Out Of The Nation Round The Clock
On Military Cargo Planes

When There Are Enough Detainess To Fill The Plane
The Center Is Emptied
And The Process Begins Again
We Can Move MILLIONS Per Month In This Manner
And The Rate Of Return (Re-Entries)
Will Be All But Halted

Time Of Discovery To Time Of Deportation =
LESS Than 120 Hours (5 Days)

I Think We Should Start Deportation Proceedings
With ALL
FEDERAL Prisoners
State Prisoners
And County Prisoners
That Are ILLEGAL ALIENS

(WE THE PEOPLE Can Play That Castro Game Too)

Using The Number 20 Million ILLEGAL ALIENS To Start
Within 5 Years
There Will Be LESS THAN 1 Million ILLEGAL Aliens
In The USA
And MASS Deportation Will Be A Thing Of The Past
But DEPORTATION Of ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS Upon Discovery
Will Be Regular Maintenance Of Homeland Security


At That Point,
Mexico Will Be FORCED
To Deal With Her Poverty
As Thousand And Thousands
Of ANGRY, Homeless MEXICAN Ctizens
Are Turned Loose In Mexicos Southwest
After Being Deported From The US Southwest

Same Scenario In OTM Nations

As They Exit The Aircraft, We Will Issue Them
One Brand New Mexican Flag Each
Or WHATEVER Flag They Want To Wrap Themselves In

So They Can Organize Their Northbound March
And Protest Against US Immigration Laws
Through Mexico
Wrapped Patriotically
In The Flag Of THEIR Nation
Like They Did When Marching And Protesting In Ours


Efficient Military Scheduling
And Efficient Military Operational "TROOP MOVEMENT"
Will Provide Swift, Affordable Deportation
At The Wholesale Cost Of Military Freight

Humane Enough For Our TROOPS
Humane Enough For Our Deportees

Make Deportation A MILITARY OPERATION
And It Will Get Done With Military Precision

The Cost Of 40 - 60 Military Flights (Fuel And Organization)
Out Of The US Per Day
Is A Nominal Expense
From A Military Standpoint


Simple, Easy, Painless, Cost Effective


Realize That What Ive Shown Here IS Easily An Option
For Humane, Cost Efficient Repatriaton Of ILLEGAL ALIENS

LESS Than 1/2 The PROJECTED Costs
Of COMMERCIAL TRANSPORTATION
(Greyhounds/TWA Etc.)

Cost Of Deportation
Is No Longer An Arguement For Amnesty

WE THE PEOPLE
The TAXPAYERS
CAN AFFORD To DEPORT All ILLEGAL Aliens
To Their Nation Of Origin

Answer 3

Nobody said we have to round them all up at once. We build the wall and stop the current flow into this country. Then during normal day to day police activity anytime an illegal is caught they are instantly deported. No questions asked, do not pass Go, do not collect $200, just get out. This will take some time and yes will cost some money. But will cost far less then legal tax payers are currently paying every time little Jose has a runny nose and goes to the local emergency room with no insurance and no way to pay.

If you people spent half as much time trying to get legal as you do trying to find loopholes this wouldn't be near as big a problem.

Get legal, learn English, assimilate or get the hell out of my country!

Answer 4

$5

Answer 5

We put the ones already here on a 12 month program if by then they have not taken the citizenship test because they don't want to loose their free ride from uncle SAM we make them take all that money they've been making under the table and bank roll them self right back to their own country.

Answer 6

ooh alex b. I am impressed, there are signs of intelligent life here,
my friend, unfortunately fear is the weapon of choice being used to whip up all this antiimmigrant sentiment just like the anti muslim terrorist business we also have going on here in this country, you should not get upset or expect people to use objective critical thought about emotional beliefs such as this one this is like asking a blind faith thinking christian to convert over to free thinking atheism and vice versa,if people are willing to pat for war they will be willing to pay for this look we are building the next berlin wall, the same country that laughed at those idiots for having one is now taking the same action

Answer 7

but what about keeping them here..how much does that REALLY cost..in money and our children's educations
they get free food, free medical, they get their kids in school for free and free before and after school programs, their children get free food at school, some get free housing, some do not have legal drivers licenses and some do not insure their vehicles they drive and almost all do not pay taxes..
and now how about the children in schools all over the USA that are over crowded because of illegals and how about the money being spent on programs for the illegals that the children of the USA do not get because it is being spent on illegals..and on and on...so it costs way more to keep them here..more than money itself...
so much more than money....

you know a rich person can stay rich only so long if he keeps spending all the money...same thing for a rich country..sooner or later the money will run out...

Answer 8

It costs a whole lot more to keep them, educate their families, and let them bring in more family, who will bring in more, all of whom need to be educated and many of whom need other services. Deportation would be a drop in the bucket. I don't see mass deportations unless the government dithers so long at finding a rational solution that people vote in immigration radicals out of sheer frustration, however.

Answer 9

If we cut off their job supply then they could walk home. If the government would go after the businesses and individuals who hired them and treated them like drug dealers, long prison sentences and confiscation of the property that was used in the illegal act, the jobs would dry up and they would leave on their own.

Answer 10

we wouldn't have to pay a penny! Stop the jobs, seize their assets ( which, by the way, goes into mexico's economy and NOT ours) and jail those who hire and rent to them! No jobs and no housing = no illegals!
