Trump's $88B Deportation Plan Faces Legal and Economic Challenges
TL;DR
Republican Senator John Barrasso struggled to defend the financial feasibility of Donald Trump's mass deportation plan when confronted with its potential $88 billion annual cost. During an interview on Meet the Press, Barrasso emphasized prioritizing the deportation of criminals but sidestepped questions about the plan's overall expense and its impact on the national debt. Trump's proposal aims to deport 10-12 million illegal immigrants, but Barrasso focused on targeting felons and those on terrorist watch lists first.
