Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow on the American Immigration Council (AIC), stated there are at present an estimated 13 million to fifteen million undocumented immigrants in the USA, and the truth of mass deportation is sophisticated.
“The president can considerably enhance immigration enforcement, however the USA doesn’t have the potential proper now to spherical up and deport hundreds of thousands of individuals,” Reichlin-Melnick informed AFP.
“It might require the hiring of tens of 1000’s of latest legislation enforcement brokers and employees and require the USA to construct lots of of latest detention centres and lots of of latest courtrooms.”
Reichlin-Melnick stated it was unclear that Congress could be prepared to spend the sum of money it will value to deport hundreds of thousands of individuals.
“It might require Congress to provide the administration tens of billions, if not lots of of billions, of {dollars},” he stated.
