What do you think on the According to Abramson (2017), the US economy could lose 280 billion if the Trump administration follows thru with rescinding the DACA program. there are about 800,000 people who have qualified for this program. Deporting these people will cost at least 60 Billion. The contribution to entitlement programs would decrease by 24.6 billion, and we could expound 460 Billion in economic output over the next 10 years following thru with the repeal. These are concerning numbers. It seems like repealing this program is going to cost us more in the long run than to just keep these people here and let them be a part of the economy.
It seems like the Marginal benefit versus marginal cost rule could be applied and could simplify the issue.
This has been a hot topic over the last year.
What are your thoughts on this issue?
