Summary
The U.S. military’s deportation flight to Guatemala, ordered by Trump, cost approximately $4,675 per migrant—over five times the price of a first-class commercial ticket.
The C-17 military aircraft operation is significantly more expensive than ICE’s commercial charter flights, which cost around $630 per person.
Trump defended the policy, vowing to continue deportations and warning countries that refuse cooperation.
The program, part of Trump’s national emergency declaration, has already deported hundreds, though some countries, like Colombia, have resisted.

Wait until you see how much money this saves you at the grocery store. This is going to be one hell of a “find out” moment for a whole lot of bigots.
You also missed the point. Why even pay the high cost of a military flight when they could just send them on commercial flights? It’s because they love the visuals of human beings in chains being loaded into military transports. They kicked the porn out of red states, so they gotta get their fetish material somewhere.
It won’t save anyone any money. American labor is expensive.

Such as true Americans having to hear people speaking in Spanish!
Handouts? What handouts? Illegal immigrants don’t qualify for any government assistance, pay into social security that they likely will never receive, pay taxes, and overall contribute to the functioning of society.
So kids in schools are criminals as well?
Edit: can’t answer this question, can you?
The answer is most likely yes, but I hope I don’t have to read them say so.
Ah yes, because every single illegal immigrant takes handouts and leeches off society without giving anything back./s
Spoiler alert: most of them don’t take handouts, and instead contribute in other positive ways. Good example: Who do you think is going to work at our below minimum wage picking many of the crops that go into domestically-product foods that Americans eat? Because it sure as hell won’t be legal Americans.
Most of them pay taxes too!
You’re absolutely right. No job in the USA should ever pay less than minimum wage. Costs will increase, but so will the average prosperity. If we can manage to deflate the currency and keep more domestic products here in the country, we’re all better off.
This is the funniest thing I read all day, thank you.
The only part of that which would actually happen is costs increasing.
You better be in the fields picking them veggies then.
Personally? No. But I’m also not currently unemployed. There are others who are.
Good for you for sacrificing others on your behalf! Selfishness is the most American trait of all!
Enjoy the leopards.
The minimum wage which hasn’t been increased in decades and all proposals are shot down because it will increase the price of McDouble?
If they were actually dangerous & had committed violent crimes they wouldn’t be deported, they’d be sent to one of our prisons right here in the USA.
The fact that they’re being deported means that the only crime they committed was being here illegally, which means they aren’t dangerous.
They were probably getting paid less than minimum wage to do a job, that needs to be done, but American citizens don’t want to do.
Here, I thought it might be helpful to clarify your position for the people who don’t speak conservative.
Me too.
These are incredibly dangerous people.
This shit doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Take a close look at who they’re spending extra money and effort to scoop up and ship off, and compare that to who they’re setting free.
The irony of this person having Spider Jerusalem as their avatar sickens me.
My brother in Christ, Spider would stomp your face into the pavement until you shit yourself and then leave you crying in your own feces. Take your entire Transmet collection out to a library and donate it, because you didn’t understand one single fucking word, and never will.
How many? Which danger? Do you know that these are dangerous people or have you just heard the line that some of them have committed crimes? They will always mention this in order to get people to associate immigrants with criminality, but it is always kept very vague. The vagueness enables them to round up whoever they choose, while claiming that “some” people in the group are criminals. They could round up everyone on your street, or everyone on your family, and send them away on this basis.
If you have seen something I haven’t, and know that theres more to it than this attempt to color the reputation of whole groups of people, I’m open to new information. But that’s what it seems like to me.
Are they eating the dogs and cats?
