I'm sorry. Who is it you have again? Who is it that you back? I don't hear anything about them The only thing I hear from your side is about how there is a scandal about an email server and how terrible Trump is.
During a press conference today, Jeb Bush tried to outdo Donald Trump and other Republican presidential candidates by doubling down on the hateful term ‘anchor baby’ when referring to the U.S. born children of immigrants.
It’s a disgrace to see these candidates attack a group of American citizens who not only have the same rights as everybody else in this country but also represent the very values this country was built on.

If Republicans continue to wonder how to label these children, Hillary has already made it clear to them: They are not ‘anchor babies.’ They are babies. They are our neighbors. They are our families. They are part of our communities. They are American citizens. Period.

An analysis by the Center For American Progress estimates deporting 11.3 million people would cost $10,070 per person, or $114 billion. That only covers the “direct cost of physically deporting unauthorized immigrants.” The conservative American Action Forum, considering the total cost to the economy, estimates mass deportation of all undocumented immigrants would cost between $420 billion and $620 billion and take 20 years.

Donald Trump was long on the bloviating, as usual, but short on specifics when asked by ABC's George Stephanopoulos how he would pay for his immigration plan: Trump Grilled On How He’ll Fulfill His Pledge To Deport Every Undocumented Immigrant...

STEPHANOPOULOS: So if there's no idea, how are you going to round them all up? Where are you going to get the money, where are you going to get the forces? Exactly how are you going to do it? What are the specifics here?
TRUMP: George, it's called management. And the first thing we have to do is secure the border. But it's called management. And we'll get people back in, the really good ones, we're going to expedite it, so they get back in, so they can at least come in legally.

1. once your off the rolls even if you don't have a job, the government stops counting you 2. even if you have a job it probably doesn't pay what you were making when your company downsized
having a job doesn't mean it measures up to your wants/needs/desires/goals
and no politician, ESPECIALLY the president can speak of each of those to each of use individually and then get elected/cheered by some dumba$$ ear tickling bumper sticker saying....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

So, if we go by your communist think tank number, it's only going to cost us $114B to get rid of the illegals.
Seems a lot cheaper paying one time than supporting them on welfare for all of their lives.
When can we start?

In March, American Action Forum, a center-right policy institute led by former CBO director Douglas Holtz-Eakin, estimated it would take between $100 billion and $300 billion to arrest and remove "all undocumented immigrants residing in the country, a process that we estimate would take 20 years," the group said.
Once those undocumented immigrants had been removed, it would take another $315 billion in higher enforcing costs to keep them from coming back, according to AAF. That estimate includes just the hard cost of removing undocumented workers; it doesn't take into account the economic impact that would result from the removal of some 11 million people from the labor force and the resulting loss of consumer spending.
AAF estimated the removal of that many people would shrink the pool of U.S. workers by 6.4 percent, which means that 20 years from now the U.S. economy would be nearly 6 percent cent smaller. That works out to a loss of $1.6 trillion in lost wages, spending and other economic activity.

Well, it IS higher than 5.3%... If we had 5.3% unemployment, and people that wanted to be fully employed were, you'd have a lot better GDP numbers than we have.
The fact is many that are "employed" are working part time or two jobs, and wage growth is stagnant. In a real recovery, the fed would have already increased the prime rate... This recovery is as fragile as crystal.
