Stop Mass Deportation: Protect Our Economy, Our Communities, Our Future
SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION NOW
The Real Cost of Mass Deportation
While addressing violent crime is essential, it’s vital to understand that most undocumented immigrants are not criminals; they actually have lower crime rates than native-born citizens—U.S.-born individuals are over twice as likely to be arrested for violent crimes compared to undocumented immigrants (Nowrasteh, 2020; Light et al., 2024).
Who Are We Really Talking About?
Contrary to harmful rhetoric, undocumented immigrants aren't faceless statistics. The vast majority are:
Hard-working parents
Essential workers
Community members
Your neighbors
The backbone of critical industries
The Economic Tsunami We Can't Afford
By the Numbers:
4.2% to 6.8% GDP loss = $1.1 to $1.7 TRILLION vanishing from our economy
14% workforce reduction in construction
Up to 30% labor loss in agriculture and hospitality
Real People, Real Impact
🏠 4 million mixed-status families
🧒 8.5 million people affected
👨👩👧 5.1 million U.S. citizen children at risk
What Deportation Really Means
Skyrocketing food prices
Housing market collapse
Critical industry shutdowns
Massive economic instability
Our Collective Contribution
Undocumented immigrants aren't taking—they're giving:
$46.8 billion in federal taxes
$29.3 billion in state/local taxes
$22.6 billion to Social Security
$5.7 billion to Medicare
The Human Cost
This isn't just about economics. It's about:
Families torn apart
Communities devastated
American values betrayed
