One of the key parts of Donald Trump’s immigration plan is to deport the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Here’s what he told CNN in a recent interview:

"We have a lot of bad dudes, as I said. We have a lot of really bad people here," Trump said. "I want to get the bad ones out … And by the way, they're never coming back."

Not only is Trump’s plan economically and logistically unviable, it shows that the Republican presidential hopeful has little understanding of the damaging effects that deportation has on family members left behind. A new report by the Migration Policy Institute and the Urban Institute highlights the economic and psychological distress that children of U.S. deportees have faced after deportation proceedings were initiated against their parents.
