Tuesday's election was not a referendum on immigration, but the evidence shows that Trump's mass deportation campaign nonetheless played a decisive role in pushing the Latino community away from Trump's party.

NEW: Our team @immcouncil just released a major new report on Trumpβs first six months. We look at three big immigration questions:
- Who are we allowing into the US and who are we excluding?
- How are we treating the immigrants here?
- Who are we forcing to leave, and how?

When Trump pushes illegal and inhumane immigration policies, itβs on us to fight back.

.@immcouncil estimates that a one-time operation to deport the ~11m undocumented immigrants now living in the US would cost at least $315 billion
Would also reduce annual GDP by 4.2%-6.8%. In comparison, the U.S. GDP shrank 4.3% during the Great Recession americanimmigrationcouncil.oβ¦

Leading Republicans are proposing a mass deportation regime with a $1 TRILLION price tag over ten years.
There are better ways to support American families with those resources, like constructing 2,900,000 new homes.
RT if you agree.

As Donald Trump pledges to deport all immigrants within the U.S. without legal status, a new report by the American Immigration Council, finds any mass deportation effort in a one-time operation could cost the federal government at least $315 billion. Adriel D. Orozco, senior policy counsel with the American Immigration Council, joins @majorCBS to explain the findings.

1/5 𧡠Mass deportation is not just an economic issue; it's a deeply human one. About 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the U.S., contributing $46.8 billion in federal taxes and $29.3 billion in state and local taxes in 2022.

Politicians often say migrants should just get in line and come here "the right way." But for most people, there is no line. Check out this op-ed from @immcouncil's @JorgeLoweree explaining what people miss about our backlogged legal immigration system.

The refrain βWe are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of lawsβ was used to pitch restrictions on asylum from both the left & right last week following the end of Title 42.
Once by DHS Sec. Mayorkas, the other by a GOP lawmaker.
