Even to do it over 4 years would require over 7,500 a day. Of course they're not deporting anywhere near those numbers at this point, nor will they likely ever. This is all a cruel stunt meant to terrorize all immigrants. It's not a serious attempt to remove the criminal immigrants like Trump campaigned on.

being equal to about 4 Arleigh Burke class of guided-missile destroyers and worrying about china's ship building capabilities in case of war was classic..
Hit the right winger/maga's with the numbers.. Who in the US is gonna PAY the 185 BILLION DOLLARS to deport 11 million undocumented people..$16,800 per deportation,
or grant amnesty which cost ZERO dollars.. And you KNOW the oligarchs will have their hand in the jar to get their share of the money spent on deportations.
The oligarchs will want to have the gub'ment raise taxes on the low and middle class to pay for it..
Not the rich...
This deportation will never work and it's only a show for the maga class of simpleton.
Ok rant mode off..
