Overview

What if one of the most politically popular solutions in America is also one of the most economically destructive? In The Deportation Delusion, takes a deep dive into the economic and social consequences of large-scale immigration crackdowns-specifically former President Donald Trump's proposal for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. While the policy is framed as a way to boost wages, protect jobs, and reduce the national debt, the data tells a very different story. Backed by extensive research, including findings from the Penn Wharton Budget Model, this book uncovers the hidden costs of removing millions of workers from the U.S. labor force. From shrinking GDP and rising federal deficits to labor shortages and supply chain disruptions, The Deportation Delusion explains how such policies could harm not just immigrant communities-but the entire American economy. Inside, you'll discover: Why GDP could shrink by over 3% in ten years if mass deportations are enacted. How critical industries like agriculture, construction, and hospitality would be hollowed out. The truth behind the ""wage bump"" myth-and why it's unsustainable. The human cost of deportation: fractured families, community instability, and increased polarization. Realistic policy alternatives that can promote growth, protect wages, and strengthen national unity The Deportation Delusion challenges readers to move beyond slogans and fear-based narratives, offering a fact-based vision for a stronger, more inclusive America. It is essential reading for voters, policymakers, business leaders, and anyone who believes economic prosperity shouldn't come at the cost of national integrity.
