Texas Monthly asked GOP lawmakers to defend Trump's deportation plan, only two replied
With President-elect Donald Trump pledging to conduct mass deportations that could sweep up roughly 1.6 million people statewide, Texas Monthly reached out to "top Texas officials and every Republican state legislator" to get their take. After all, the magazine pointed out in an article posted Monday, deportations on that scale would have a seismic effect on the Lone State State's economy. For example, a recent American Immigration Council report cited by Texas Monthly estimates that mass deportations would slash the national GDP by 4.2% to 6.8%.
