If all illegal immigrants were deported:
Cost US $600 billion
The reduction of labor would cost the US $1 trillion.
Studies show that an influx of undocumented people do not cause a spike in crime as Trump wants you to think.
Trump admin admin cannot back it up w/stats.

American jobs are not being taken. We have a 3.8% unemployment rate. Undocumented workers perform the jobs no Americans will take.

The best way forward is to create a work Visa program that can be processed quickly & a pathway to citizenship for all asylum seeking immigrants who want a better life.
If you come to this country seeking a better life, you are willing to contribute, you are not a criminal, then I see no reason why a pathway to citizenship can't be granted.
