FWD.us, an advocacy group focused on comprehensive immigration reform, founded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has released a video revealing the impact that mass deportation policies proposed by GOP presidential candidates and championed by right-wing media figures would actually have.
FWD.us, as other critical voices have explained, noted that the negative consequences of deporting 11.3 million immigrants, would include incurring in a 600 billion dollar cost, the destruction of millions of families, the creation of a police state, and the potential waste of miles and miles of agricultural products.
Yet many right-wing media figures have lauded Donald Trump's mass deportation proposal, including Rush Limbaugh who said Trump didn't go “far enough.” Sean Hannity dismissed criticism of Trum's mass deportation plan as an “emotional argument,” while Fox's Eric Bolling claimed that Trump's deportation force would be “good for Latinos.”
