That's crazy. It shouldn't cost that much to find illegal immigrants already in custody and deport them! 2 billion per year? We need to deport these people, and we need better border security so they don't come back. I wasn't able to find the figures on the per-inmate average cost across the US for keeping so many illegal-immigrant inmates in prison, but that can't be cheap either.

transportation for more than 300,000 people is going to cost a lot

the mexican government should have to pay for the US deporting their citizens

They do not want them back - that would just increase more pressure on the border system to get them back across.
