Elise Foley flags a study from CAP to put yesterday's big deportation numbers in perspective:
Apprehension: $18,310
Detention: $3,355
Legal processing: $817
Transportation: $1,000
In total, that's $23,480 for each of the 392,000 people the U.S. removed last year, or $9,204,944,000.
And as long as the number of undocumented immigrants in the country remains steady at about 11 million, which is highly unlikely, it'll only take another 28 years or so to deport everyone.
