One of the Trump administration’s signature policies is the mass deportation of immigrants lacking legal status. While there has been plenty of discussion about whether immigration has been a positive or negative for our country, there isn’t much data on the effect of deporting immigrants lacking legal status. Does it make sense? How much does it cost? Is it a good thing for the economy? So, the Rockefeller Institute embarked on a study and the results are in.
Scott Fein, a senior adviser and fellow of the Rockefeller Institute of Government’s “Center for Law and Policy Solutions,” and scholar-in-residence with the “Institute on Immigration Research and Policy” joined Capital Tonight to discuss the study.
