\u00a0According to a Bipartisan Policy Center report, immigration reform would create 105,923 jobs in Illinois and boost the state\u2019s economic output by $1.8 billion. Nationally, it would bolster the country\u2019s economic growth by 4.8% over the next 20 years and reduce the deficit by $1.2 trillion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mass deportation could cost the US economy $2.6 trillion. If every unauthorized immigrant were removed from Illinois, the state would lose $25.6 billion in economic activity, $11.4 billion in gross state product, and approximately 119,214 jobs, even accounting for adequate market adjustment time, according to a report by the Perryman Group. \u00a0It would cost the government $20-25 billion to deport the 4-5 million undocumented workers who would benefit from Obama\u2019s most recent executive order. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>
