FILE - In this June 23, 2020, file photo, President Donald Trump tours a section of the border wall in San Luis, Ariz. "Rhetoric is one thing," said Stephen Yale-Loehr, a professor of immigration law at Cornell University."Actual implementation is something else."
"The president can significantly increase immigration enforcement, but the United States does not have the capability right now to round up and deport millions of people," Reichlin-Melnick told AFP. "It would require Congress to give the administration tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions, of dollars," he said.Mass deportation would also have a significant impact on the US economy, particularly on the construction, agriculture and hospitality sectors.
Besides completing the wall along the US-Mexico border, the former Republican president has also proposed having American troops play a larger role in border enforcement."During the Great Recession, US GDP dropped by 4.3 per cent so mass deportations of the entire undocumented population would cause the US economy to crash," Reichlin-Melnick said."At the height of the Great Recession, 15 million Americans were out of work.
