Donald Trump has said that his first act upon taking office in January would be to issue a special order to deport thousands of immigrants.
Severe setback
Now, it has been reported that his own party has come out in force to oppose his plan. Over the weekend, 38 Republican members of the House refused to vote on the government funding proposal.
Despite Donald Trump's support for the bill and Elon Musk's active campaign on his social media page, the proposal ultimately failed.
As a result, Donald Trump has been said to have suffered a severe setback even before he came to power. In addition, there has been criticism that his rule will now be full of chaos.
However, the United States has escaped the crisis of government offices shutting down at the last minute. But many are looking to the deportation promise as Trump's most significant challenge.
Trump's deportation plan is estimated to cost $80 billion a year. Trump has also stated in his campaign that the cost of his plan is not insignificant.
20 million people
But a study conducted by some organizations has now shown that it would cost $88 billion to deport 1 million immigrants a year.
Although most Republicans support Trump's plan to deport immigrants, they do not want to pile debt on top of debt in the current environment.
The interest on America's debt alone is said to be more than the entire Defense Department budget.
