On May 14, 1787, delegates to the Constitutional Convention begin to assemble in Philadelphia to confront a daunting task: the peaceful overthrow of the new American government as defined by the Article of Confederation. Although the convention was originally supposed to begin on May 14, James Madison reported that a small number only had assembled. Meetings had to be pushed back until May 25, when a sufficient quorum of the participating states—Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia—had arrived.

Trump’s mass deportation plan could cost taxpayers more than $117 billion over ten years (at least).

• $9 billion: Mandating detention at the border
• $25 billion: Building a giant concrete wall
• $0: Amount Mexico will contribute to the wall
• $7.5 billion: Maintenance of giant concrete wall
• $6.6 billion: Tripling the number of ICE deportation officers
• $60.4 billion: Non-apprehension costs for “aggressive interior enforcement” including, $13.4 billion: Legal processing; $11.3 billion: Transportation; $35.7 billion: Detention
• 8.6 billion: Increase CBP by 5,000

This, at a time when the federal government already spends more enforcing our immigration laws than all other enforcement combined.

• $200 billion: Amount we will already spend over the next 10 years on ICE and CBP alone under current law, more than we spend on all other enforcement combined.
• 1600%: Increase in immigration enforcement spending since the mid-1980s.
• 200%: Increase in the number of border agents since 2002.

Here’s what else we could spend $117 billion on:

• 7,191 new elementary schools
• 214,482 new teachers hired and paid for a decade
• 1,212,435 students to attend a 4-year public school

Trump’s mass deportation plan could reduce GDP by nearly $5 trillion.

• $4.7 trillion: Reduction in cumulative GDP over 10 years
• $74 billion: Loss to the manufacturing industry
• $65 billion: Loss to the wholesale and retail trade industry
• $54 billion: Loss to the leisure hospitality industry

Trump’s mass deportation plan could contribute to the loss of nearly 3.5 million jobs over the next four years.

• Nearly 3.5 million jobs: According to Moody’s, Trump’s immigration policies would contribute to the loss of nearly 3.5 million jobs over the next four years
