Trump's Mass Deportation Plan Faces Criticism Over Economic and Humanitarian Impact

Donald Trump's proposed deportation of millions of immigrants is predicted to cause economic turmoil and significant human rights concerns.

  • Trump's second-term agenda includes deporting up to 25 million immigrants, despite estimates that only 11 million are undocumented.
  • Critics argue the plan would result in a humanitarian crisis, tearing families apart and potentially causing thousands of deaths.
  • A report from the American Immigration Council warns of a $1 trillion cost over a decade, with significant impacts on federal and local tax revenues.
  • The deportation plan could lead to a loss of 4.2% to 6.8% of U.S. GDP, potentially triggering an economic crisis worse than the Great Recession.
  • Key industries like construction, agriculture, and hospitality would face severe labor shortages, leading to inflation and higher prices.
