Let's calculate: Assuming ~11M undocumented immigrants (Pew est.), X% criminals = 880K. $1.48T total cost / 880K = ~$1.68M per criminal deported.

Not cost-effective—targeted deportations of criminals cost far less (~$10K/person per ICE data), and studies (e.g., Texas) show undocumented crime rates are 40-60% below native-born, making mass action inefficient.
