60 Minutes: Trump’s mass deportation plan for undocumented immigrants could cost billions a year

60 Minutes looks at former President Trump’s promise, if elected, of a mass deportation campaign modelled on President Eisenhower’s “Operation Wetback.”  Here is the lead-in to the episode:

“With nine days until Election Day, former President Trump has stepped up his attacks on the Biden-Harris administration’s record on illegal immigration and pledged that, if elected, he’ll conduct the largest deportation in American history.

There are more than 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States.…about 3% of the population. Nearly 80% of them have lived in the country for a decade or more.”

The Marshall Project looks critically at the proposed mass deportation campaign.
