The president-elect says that the plan should be initiated โ€˜no matter the price tagโ€™

President-elect Donald Trump said this week that his incoming administration has โ€œno choiceโ€ but to carry out mass deportations of illegal immigrants, regardless of how much it may cost.

Speaking with NBC News on Thursday, the president-elect was asked about how much it would cost to carry out his deportation plan, which he made reference to numerous times during his presidential campaign.

โ€œItโ€™s not a question of a price tag,โ€ Trump said, adding that โ€œreally, we have no choice.โ€

โ€œWhen people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries. And now theyโ€™re going to go back to those countries because theyโ€™re not staying here. There is no price tag.โ€

His campaign had pledged to expel about 11 million people who are not authorized to be in the United States, although Trump himself has said he believes that as many as 21 million are in the country illegally.

โ€œWe obviously have to make the border strong and powerful, and we have toโ€”at the same time, we want people to come into our country,โ€ he said before signaling that the United States still needs legal immigrants.

โ€œAnd you know, Iโ€™m not somebody that says, โ€˜No, you canโ€™t come in.โ€™ We want people to come in.โ€

Both Democrats and the nonprofit American Immigration Council have been critical of the mass deportation proposal, with the NGO estimating in a report that Trumpโ€™s plan may cost as much as $315 billion overall.

In campaign events and media appearances, both Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance have said that Americans would see longstanding economic benefits from the deportation plan. During his only debate with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vance said that illegal immigrants are a reason why housing and rent prices have soared across the United States in recent years.

โ€œKicking out illegal immigrants who are competing for those homesโ€ would help bring down housing costs, Vance said on Oct. 1.

Some economists have disagreed with Vanceโ€™s assertions, saying that the increase in housing prices stems from a long period of underbuilding in the United States due to land-use regulations.
