Migration, Remittances, and Deportations: Facts and Numbers on Deportation and Other Migrant Categories​

For a nation of immigrants, migration policy has long been a central topic in the political and social discourse of the United States. Along these lines, determining who stays and who does not remains a policy priority in the narrative and decision-making processes among government officials, civil society, and the private sector.

This presentation provides data and insights related to immigration issues, with a focus on migrants in irregular status who are at risk of deportation. It compares nationwide encounters with deportation rates and examines various factors placing migrants at risk of deportation, such as removal orders, expired parole, and denial of asylum applications. Additionally, the presentation explores related topics, including the connection between deportations and remittances, as well as the determinants of migration, such as political push and economic pull factors.

The data indicate that each additional deportation reduces remittances by thirty-nine U.S. dollars.
