H.R. 7345: Studying Disastrous Impacts of Mass Deportation Act

This bill, titled the "Studying Disastrous Impacts of Mass Deportation Act," aims to direct the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to conduct a comprehensive study of the long-term economic impacts of the immigration policies implemented during the Trump Administration, specifically starting from January 20, 2025. The study is required to be completed within 180 days of the bill's enactment or by the end of the 119th Congress, whichever comes first.

Objectives of the Study

The study will focus on various aspects of the immigration policies and evaluate their economic impact over a projected period of 20 to 40 years. Specifically, the study will cover:

Industry-specific breakdowns: This includes assessing how different sectors such as public services, agriculture, healthcare, and fields related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are affected.
Public safety impacts: The study will analyze how these immigration policies may influence public safety and crime rates, potentially creating an environment of pervasive fear.
Demographic and immigration flow changes: It will examine shifts in immigration patterns and the overall demographics of the population as a result of these policies.
Productivity and economic contributions: The effects on productivity, technological innovation, remittances, consumer expenditure, investment levels, and overall contribution to GDP will be assessed.
Impact on small businesses: The study will evaluate how small businesses are impacted by changes in immigration policy.
Tax revenue effects: The CBO will analyze the net fiscal impact on federal, state, and local tax revenues due to mass deportation policies.

Data Sharing Requirements

To facilitate this study, the bill mandates that certain federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Internal Revenue Service, must provide relevant data to the Director of the Congressional Budget Office upon request. This is intended to ensure that the study can be thoroughly researched and grounded in accurate data.

Implementation Timeline

The bill specifies that the study must be published and made publicly available within a specified timeframe, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in understanding the economic impacts of immigration policies.
