It Pays to Deport & Creates Affordable Housing Too - Top 3 Takeaways – May 6th, 2025 - Driven By Braman Motorcars
Takeaway #1: It pays to deport
Don’t belong here, but don’t want to go? What’s your number? We’ll pay you to leave. That’s right mucho dinero deportar de Los Estados Unidos essay. So yes, for years the Biden administration opened our borders and endlessly allowed hordes of whoevers from wherever, aka the Magic “A” Word People (so-called asylum seekers), to use and abuse our country as they saw fit. And use and abuse it they did. From hotel stays in Manhattan, to affordable housing in West Palm Beach – replete with food stamps, use of our schools, and plenty of other government assistance programs to serve whatever the illegal immigrants may need. The net effect of asylum seekers/illegal immigrants – according to last year’s congressional estimate checked in at a cost of $182 billion...that means the updated cost to you, and every federal taxpayer is $1,352. But that’s also independent of the illegal immigrant impact on housing inflation. Earlier this year a Center For Immigration Studies report showed that for every 5% increase in the non-citizen population in this country, the cost of housing for the average American rose by 12%. That’s largely due to illegal immigrants, aka the Magic “A” word people, using up all our affordable housing spaces. Non-citizen households doubled from an estimated 5 million in 2021 to over 10 million entering 2025. As affordable housing was taken over by asylum seekers looking to take advantage of our country, it had a two-prong effect of pushing Americans who would have been in affordable housing units into more expensive housing placing upward pricing pressure on the system that created the multiplying effect. As a result, the average monthly increase in housing cost for the average American totaled $288 per month. That brought last year’s cost of illegal immigration to you, through the hard cost of providing government assistance, to the soft cost of inflation, to a total of $4,808. It’s frankly hard to think of a more masochistic thing to do. That’s also independent of the fact that noncitizens have been 700% more likely to commit crimes once here compared to you too. Good times. But it’s not just that keeping illegal immigrants here is expensive. It’s also that booting the bums that have been using and abusing our country has proved to be expensive too. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the average cost to arrest, detain, and deport an illegal immigrant is now $17k. That’s why they’ve now devised a cheaper way to make illegal immigrants, I’m sorry, the Magic “A” Word People, go away. We’ll pay.
Takeaway #2: ET Go Home
Ok, so the Magic “A” Word People, aren’t ETs, but they are illegal aliens and if the threat of deportation, wasn’t enough. Maybe a little incentivizing will do? On Monday DHS announced a new program that will pay illegal aliens $1,000 to leave by using the CBP One app. The same app that the Biden administration used to fly about 1 million illegal immigrants in here. The thousand dollars will be paid once illegal immigrants are verified to have gone home – or at least to have left our country. DHS said just over 5,000+ illegal immigrants self-deported using the app after DHS’s original warning to do so. They said that they expect many more to take advantage of the financial incentive to go. And as for the cost, to DHS, that’s of course paid for by you and me. The approach is far cheaper checking in at about $4,500 per deportation, or nearly four times less than the cost of DHS deporting them. And here’s the thing to remember. Just as the record run of illegal immigrants pouring across our border contributed significantly to inflation, the effect of mass deportations is deflationary. To date, since the onset of the Trump administration, over 160,000 illegal immigrants have either been arrested or have deported (one way or another) - that’s led to the freeing up of nearly 43,000 affordable housing units. It’s just the beginning. With the largest detention and deportation operation in the country, Operation Tidal Wave, taking place in our state – we’re not just safer for what’s taken place, but also Florida’s housing affordably challenges are simultaneously being addressed. For a longtime in many of Florida’s communities cities have grappled with how to create more affordable housing inventory. The answer can be exceedingly easy. Rather than shielding illegal immigrants from the Trump administration...
Takeaway #3: It’s time to embrace the Trump administration's deportation plan ...And encourage those who’re illegally here to engage in self-deportation. It’s far more affordable for our country to do, it’s far less intrusive for all involved if they to do, and it instantly creates more affordable housing units in communities too. In other words, encouraging self-deportation is the most compassionate thing to do (that’s for the Libtards in local governments who’re more interested in making illegal immigrants comfortable than serving you). Plus, there’s the carrot of mucho dinero essay. Biden may have effectively paid for the Magic “A” word people to come. Trump will literally pay for them to go. But if they don’t... He’s willing to do it the harder and more expensive way too. It’s still a choice. And that goes for how local communities choose to go about this too. Florida currently has a minimum of 500,000 illegal immigrant households. If you want affordable housing, all you need to do is reclaim the units that have been abused. Now that would have a profound impact.
