costs to deport each person. Some like the ones sent to third countries have cost over 1 million each. Does it make sense to spend 1 millon dollars to deport a worker at a Mexican restaraunt. I would think some of our political leaders would be talking about this. Like the ICE budget divided by the number of people deported, it has to be a ridiculous cost.
