Deportation vs. the Cost of Letting Illegal Immigrants Stay

The findings of this analysis show that the average cost of a deportation is much smaller than the net fiscal drain created by the average illegal immigrant. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported the average deportation cost as $10,854 in FY 2016. In FY 2012, ICE removed 71 percent more aliens with a similar budget, creating an average inflation-adjusted cost of $5,915. This compares to an average lifetime net fiscal drain (taxes paid minus services used) of $65,292 for each illegal immigrant, excluding their descendants. This net figure is based on fiscal estimates of immigrants by education level from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS).1 The total fiscal drain for the entire illegal population is estimated at $746.3 billion. Of course, simply because deportation is much less costly than allowing illegal immigrants to stay does not settle the policy questions surrounding illegal immigration as there are many factors to consider.

Conclusion
Overall, different assumptions can affect the results. But because the overwhelming share of illegal immigrants residing in the country have not completed high school or have only a high school education, it would require highly implausible assumptions to avoid a substantial net fiscal drain from this population. In short, illegal immigrants are a large net fiscal drain because of their education levels and this fact drives the results. Deportation, on the other hand, is not that costly relative to the fiscal costs illegal immigrants create. Of course, there are many other factors to consider when deciding on the best course of action than just the fiscal balance between removal and allowing illegal immigrants to remain. That said, deporting a large share of illegal immigrants can be justified from a fiscal point of view.

Ignorant, uneducated, and on welfare.
Sounds like the perfect Democratic voter.

No surprise you would use a website called cis.org. You probably want to deport trans people too!

And once the wall is built and the armed patrols start, there wouldn't be any cost to deport. Win-win!

About 20 illegals shop in my store regularly. They each get $350.00 a month in welfare. For each additional child[no father] another $350.00 a month. They cash or spend the checks at my store. They also get EBT-Food Stamps about $350/400 a month with another $350 for a new child. Many of these illegal families get $700 to $900 a month from the gov't---free. One illegal girl started 2 years ago shopping with me, head scarf and no English speaking. She had 3 kids and one boyfriend. She got $900.00 a month. She had 2 more children with 2 different men and now gets $1400.00 a month. Shops with food stamps and then goes outside my store and divides up the groceries among the 3 men, into 3 different cars[one an Escalade]. He sells pot and crack for a living, can't speak English.

This is so old.
1. Slow to a trickle illegal immigration.
2. See #1
3. Decide how to deal with those already here.
4. If anyone skips 1 and 2 they are full of it.

Ignorant enough to manipulate the system where the husband makes over 1,000 a week while the wife claims single mom of x number of children to receive food stamps.
