What would it cost to Round up all the illegals in the US

and send them back to their home country?

This is in no way condoning Illegals staying in the United States or open border policy it is just some a simple info post. 

Since Biden took office, the U.S. Border Patrol has documented over 6 million unauthorized border crossings along the Mexico border, the busiest period in the agency's century-long history. Furthermore, there have been nearly 2 million "gotaways" who were not apprehended during this time.

16.8 million unauthorized aliens reside in the United States.  "estimated"

With maintenance and crews, a 747 with maximum seating capacity of 660 passengers costs 35,000 dollars per hour for the five-hour journey from Houston to Ecuador.  " One way"

The federal government anticipates spending $3.076 billion on DHS Custody Operations in fiscal year 2018, which equates to $8.43 million per day on immigrant detention. Taking into consideration the 40,520 detention beds allocated for FY 2018, this equates to $208 per immigrant detainee on an average daily basis.

Therefore, let's perform some elementary mathematics.

Since Biden assumed office, how many flights would be required to eliminate the eight million that have been accumulated?

8,000,000 divided by 660 equals 12,122 flights operating at full capacity.

12,122 round-trip flights times 10 hours equals 121,220 flight hours.

121,220 flight hours multiplied by $35,000 per hour equals $4,242,700,000 in return flight expenses.

We can now calculate the cost per illegal immigrant for a flight home as follows: $4,242,700,000 divided by $8,000,000 equals $531 per immigrant.

Currently, you must detain them for a week or longer; therefore, let's say that in an ideal world that would be seven days.

The daily cost of housing them in a detention facility is $208; this does not include the cost of labor.

$8,000,000 x 7 x 208 = $11,668,000,000, which represents the expense for a seven-day hold that is considerably shorter than it should be. Some have been detained for at least 268 days.

$11,668,000,000 divided by 8,000,000,000 equals $1459 for their detention hold.

For a small six-man raid team to collect them, labor alone costs approximately $1044 per day; the team can pick up, transport, and process approximately twenty individuals per day.

Thus, let us examine those numbers.

8,000,000 divided by 20 per day picked up equals 400,000 days’ worth of labor.

So, 400,000 multiplied by $1044 equals out to be $417,600,000

$417,600,000 divided by 8,00,000, or $52.00 per person.

Therefore, let us aggregate the expenses.

$52.00 to round up each illegal.

$1459.00 for accommodation prior to deportation:

$531.00 cost of the return flight to their home

The minimum cost to return them is $2,042.00.

For the return transport of merely 8 million illegal aliens is, $16,336,000,000

To return all 16.8 million illegals residing in the United States is $34,305,600,000

Numbers in this post were garnered from online information from CBP and ICE some are best estimates of costs and duration.

But there is a way to pay for all of this and build the wall and lower the cost of collecting all of the criminal illegal immigrants in the United States.

How could we afford to pay for all of this without further increasing the tax burden on the American people?  Additionally, how might we locate every illegal? Alternatively, fugitives or malicious components of the illegal immigrants coming across the borders?

Remittances continued to be primarily sourced from the United States. In 2023, India will receive the highest number of remittances ($125 billion), followed by Mexico ($67 billion), China ($50 billion), the Philippines ($40 billion), and Egypt ($24 billion).

These five remove a total of 306 billion dollars from the U.S. economy.

So that you can comprehend the amount in long for that’s $366,000,000,000.00 in USD being sent to foreign countries from people in the United States.

It would have a slight impact if we imposed taxes on remittances, as DeSantis has suggested.

Assuming a tax rate of 1.5% on the 306 billion dollars in remittances, an annual revenue of approximately $4.6 billion would be generated.  By increasing it to 2.5%, your revenue now stands at 7.6 billion, just from the top five countries remittances are sent to from the United States.

A “New New” wall spanning 450 miles would cost approximately 18 billion dollars, which would require three years to pay for.  But that still leaves how do we "Return" the illegals who are currently in the country? As my previous post noted, this is not so straightforward; you are discussing a bare minimum, of $16 billion to accomplish that.  Nonetheless, the majority that do arrive in the United States, perform labor, and remit some form of taxation to their local state and federal government.  They perform tasks that the majority of citizens are unwilling or unable to undertake so you need to bear that in mind what would happen if they all disappeared one day.  Would ever see your kid or neighbors kid running a landscape business?  working fast food? washing dishes?  However, suppose that rather than returning every individual, we return the criminals in first.  But the question would be how can we locate every one of those that live in a sanctuary state and or city?  This is an idea that was conceived by my spouse. An antiquated Snitch lines. A majority of individuals who are not legal are acquainted with other Hispanics who are also not legal. However, consider a scenario in which people without criminal records who are presently illegally in this country could report an illegal immigrant with known criminal charges or information that could lead to their apprehension and deportation would receive $5,000. Those who provide such information would be eligible to receive the reward. Their immigration hearings are also rescheduled to occur within six months, and their possible chance of deportation is stayed so long as they do not fall into the category of individuals who ought to be deported.  So, if we examine those figures, which, assuming they are all snitched on, amount to $4.1 billion in direct costs.  And the benefit is because it is not being processed and dependent on local law enforcement or similar authorities, Sanctuary cities are no longer havens for criminal elements.

Therefore, let us aggregate the expenses.

Including the cost of the wall (18.1 billion) and the bounty for individuals who inform on criminals (approximately $4.1 billion), the total cost would be $22.2 billion. Including the annual collection of remittance tax (worth $7.6 billion), the entire project could be financed in just three years.  Following that juncture, a sum of 7.6 billion dollars is generated to finance personnel enhancements in border security and surveillance. Additionally, enlarging the wall to encompass the entire southern border. Additionally, that could be utilized to bolster border security along the Northern border and in the Northeastern regions.
